ALOT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lovemissdots.com\/\">Miss Dots<\/a> has a rep, very basic menu, of fried chicken, whole, pieces, or bits. I went for bits. They call them &#8220;bites.&#8221; \u00a0&#8220;Plates&#8221; were $9 and up and came with a side and a roll. \u00a0I went with the &#8220;bites&#8221; and mac\/cheese.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The place was immaculate, sparkling clean. Employees were newish and not very knowledgeable about the product or even the POS system. Orders were taken, food was prepared, brought to the table. Pretty fast, actually, surprised me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">It&#8217;s a lighter breading, not much cornmeal, not seasoned, or lightly seasoned. The chicken was juicy and piping hot in its little breading overcoat. The mac\/cheese was lifeless, dry, no particular flavor, could just as easily have been from a box. \u00a0The same verdict for the roll. Nothing special. Sysco or a local grocer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So yeah, it&#8217;s good, but for me, not worth an extra drive or the price. \u00a0I was also under the impression this was a really old establishment (not sure why I thought that), but it&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s nearly a start-up.
