Ira's Chicken - Greer

I had the dark southern small plate with mac and cheese and Cole slaw. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Love the slaw, nice dill touch. As others have said, chicken is moist and tender with just right amount of breading. Will return.

The chicken portion of the meal was very good. The other aspects, such as the sides, were good, but nothing to write home about. The fries were no better than I could get anywhere else, for example. The bun on the chicken sandwich was not overly soft and fresh feeling. In fact, it felt very cheap, like they ran out of stock on their usual bun and had to buy these from a depot. All in all, however, this seems like a quality spot, and if I'm ever in the area I will return and expect good things.

Ira's is a refreshing take on a Chicken Joint. The premise is like a typical barbecue joint feel, but with chicken as the star. You can get white or dark meat, fried or grilled, and spicy or not. They have a collection of sides as well and some standard dishes, like chicken sandwiches or chicken and waffles. I had fried dark meat chicken, no spicy, with Mac cheese and fried grits. FYI, one chicken thigh is plenty of food. I loved the chicken. Meat was juicy and tender and the batter was a perfect thickness. However the surprising highlight was the fried grits!!! They have a hint of jalapeno flavor and are crispy on the outside and just the right temp and consistency of grits on the inside. DELICIOUS. My friend also loved his chicken and waffles. I will definitely be returning!

I had been hearing about how great this place is, and we finally got around to trying it tonight! Some of the best chicken I’ve ever had! Portion sizes plenty big, and two thumbs up for good, enthusiastic customer service! Will definitely be coming back!

Awesome chicken! Great sides. Don’t miss out on the grit cakes w/tomato jam. Collards are very good. Fries are tasty. Desserts are very good as well. This place needs to be on your rotation. Great service on top of the food.
