Soon, we were selling out, lines formed, and people started saying we should\u2019ve kept it on the \u201cdown-low\u201d, which is where the name comes from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stephen and Mann are keeping the menu simple. In addition to the hot chicken, ranging in heat level from mild, medium, hot, extra hot, to \u201cA Side of Milk\u201d for brave souls, they will also serve Hot Chicken breast sandwiches on white bread (called The Sando), wings, coleslaw, corn bread, pickles, macaroni salad, fries, and peach sweet tea. Weekly specials are expected, including a Hot Fish version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to be cashier-service but we are going to bring you your order, and it\u2019s going to be first-come, first-serve,\u201d adds Stephen. \u201cWe want this to be a place that\u2019s buzzing with activity, with friendly faces, and great music. We are going to let our chicken speak for itself. Everything is made-to-order.
