🍗 Country Kitchen Buffet x Uber Eats: The BOGO That Fed My Soul (and My Leftovers) 😏🔥

The BOGO Blessing I Had to Jump On 🙏💸
When Uber Eats whispered “Buy One, Get One Free” from Country Kitchen Buffet, I didn’t hesitate—I teleported to checkout. This BOGO wasn’t some flimsy half-meal either. We’re talking two thicker-than-Snickers southern fried chicken breasts, creamy mashed potatoes, and a side of white rice—twice. Classic Southern portions, packed to the brim like grandma’s Sunday plates, and then they hand you another tray, like, “Go on, baby. Eat.”
Naturally, I added a small fries for science. Plot twist: if that was small, I’m a size 32. The “small” was an entire tray of fries, filled like they were trying to smuggle potatoes across state lines. For dessert, I grabbed peach cobbler, banana pudding, and one side of potato salad—because balance. 🍽️
The Chicken Sermon (Close Your Eyes and Chew) 🍗✨
There’s little that needs to be said about the “feliciousness” of Southern fried chicken—but I’m saying a lot anyway. That first bite? Seasoned perfectly, fried to an elite-level crisp, with straight white meat under the skin all the way to the bone. I caught myself chewing the bone like there might be one more sliver of joy hiding in there. The skin shattered, the meat stayed juicy, and my dignity walked out the door. Thankfully, BOGO means backup tray. 😮💨
The Sides: Chunky Clouds and Fluffy Sorcery 🥔🍚
The mashed potatoes were excellent—and you can quote me. Real potato chunks proved this wasn’t some instant mash masquerade. It tasted fresh-made, probably that same day.
Now the rice? I don’t know what kitchen angel fluffed it, but it was so airy I started asking spiritual questions. I’ve never had rice that light and tender. New experience unlocked.
Note: Neither side came salted. At first, I side-eyed it; then I remembered Country Kitchen Buffet serves a lot of elderly folks. Letting people season to taste is probably by design. Respect. 🧂
The Fries: The “Small” That Wasn’t 🍟
These French fries showed up lightly salted, cooked very well, and not a soggy soldier in the bunch. Didn’t need sauce. Didn’t need seasoning. Didn’t need anything but a fork and a personal moment. If this is “small,” I fear what their “large” looks like. (Actually, no,o I don’t—bring it. 😏)
Desserts & One Side: Peaks and Valleys 🍑🍌🥔
Peach Cobbler: I wanted a cobbler; I got what tasted like a lightly sweet bread pudding—no noticeable peach bits, no real crust, and definitely not cobbling the way cobbler should. Not inedible, just misnamed. When you order peach cobbler, you don’t expect a crust-less situation with no fruit cameo.
Banana Pudding: Solid. I rarely meet a bad one. This version tasted right—creamy, banana-forward—but light on cookies (I found maybe one). My official note to the kitchen: “MORE COOKIES!”
Potato Salad: A sleeper hit. Thick potato chunks, real mayo, no mustard (thank you kindly). It paired with the fried chicken like a classic duo. I literally kept going back and forth—bite of chicken, spoon of potato salad—like I was conducting a culinary ping-pong match. 🏓
Hot Sauce Double Feature 🌶️🌶️
They sent two heat options: a Texas Pete packet and a clear container with a peppery, not-too-spicy liquid (I assumed for the fries, but it worked everywhere). Both brought the heat, both brought the joy, and both were invited back to the cookout. 🔥
Value, Portions, and Pure Southern Satisfaction 😮💨
Country Kitchen Buffet did not play with the portion sizes. Between the BOGO trays, the tray-sized “small” fries, and the trio of dessert/side extras, this order wasn’t just dinner—it was dinner, midnight snack, and tomorrow’s lunch. Uber Eats made it effortless; the food made it memorable.
Final Verdict (And Would I Reorder?) 😏
Look, this meal slapped. The fried chicken is a sermon. Mashed potatoes hit. Rice was a fluffy miracle. Fries were perfectly cooked. Potato salad backed up the chicken like a reliable best friend.
The desserts kept it from the Hall of Fame: peach cobbler missed the mark, and banana pudding needed more cookies to reach glory.
Score: 🔥 8/10 — would order again immediately, especially for that chicken and those sides. Fix the desserts, and we’re talking perfect 10 territory.
