[@markthompson7127]

It's like being at Grandma's for Sunday dinner

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Grandma’s house on steroids!

[@Vayee]

Im from Asia and i really wanted to visit Claudia Sanders Dinner House after hearing Colonel Sanders story and try the real KFC chicken cuz KFC is one of my favorite tho i only tasted the todays/new era of KFC since im 18 but looking at those chicked those looks more tasty fr

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

You will love it!

[@leemagaming696]

Better go soon theyre selling the place

[@BanderAlamrii]

​@@leemagaming696really?!! When??

[@GP_Blend]

Are you a big fan of the chicken or just an interest in the story? It truly is a fascinating story

[@sherry2818]

Thanks for mentioning the service! It’s important like the meal ! ❤️❤️❤️

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Absolutely! You’re welcome.

[@philliplipscomb9461]

The gravy also changed while i worked there mid 90's.. the prior version was darker, and we would add seasoned oil from the fryer as part of the recipe

[@Friendly_G]

Maybe they changed it due to some health issues or simply removed the oil as deep frying raw chicken and adding the oil would probably give someone salmonella

[@pjewellful2012]

Bout won’t ain’t no damn salmonella surviving the deep fryer🤣🤣 I use animal fat to fry, but adding fat is what give your gravy that savory richness! Animal fats are best of course

[@fatsdulange]

I used to try to get 1 spoonful of each side on my plate at the buffet, but just couldn't when it was 19 sides before meats. Think it's a fewer sides now, but I still can't fit 1 spoonful on a plate. 😂 So now I do the family style like you had. They also have great hamburgers and steaks on menu (not available Sundays). Steaks tasted char-broiled. Delicious. Their yeast rolls are heavenly soft/good. Good to see the review! Thanks!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thanks for reaching out! Yes, I know what you mean about wanting to fit every item on your plate. And those rolls!! Awesome!

[@patchouli8899]

Been a long time since I've been there, but I remember the beauty of the place; very impressive! Those chicken and dumplings looked delish, I love 'em, and that fried chicken is more my style too, thin breading. Bread pudding and cobblers are both my faves! Have to get the family together for a trip to Claudia Sanders! Good video, Barry, very interesting, thanks

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it interesting. I know it dragged on a little longer than the average video.

[@MrGoddlie]

Everything looks great, I wish I wasn't homeless and poor I'll be there Sunday... One day hopefully I can try that good cooking. Thanks for the review!!!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I saw that Claudia Sanders was hiring. You could get a job there and probably get free food and make enough money to be able to find a place to live.

[@MrGoddlie]

I find a job two weeks ago.

[@TamilEelam1]

@@MrGoddlie congratulations man🎉

[@patdarby467]

Thanks Barry for this review. I'm originally from Simpsonville and enjoyed eating lunch there many times....soup/salad bar was great.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I’m glad you liked it! It’s a good thing I don’t live closer to Claudia Sanders or I’d be 400 pounds.😁

[@annarosejohnson1030]

I started following you about 2yrs ago. I have enjoyed every one of your reviews. So keep up with your reviews and support of local restaurants. You are really awesome and your reviews great. I've become a big fan. Blessings and Love

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I appreciate you following my channel. Thank you for reaching out with the kind words. It really means a lot. Sometimes I feel I’m wasting my time but then somebody like you reached out and let’s me know it’s all worthwhile.

[@Rdlee45]

The food looks like it's homemade I bet it's delicious it looks so good making me hungry for southern fried chicken and the homemade sides

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

You have to go for the all you can eat chicken dinner. It’s not a buffet. They just keep bringing you anything you want.

[@sUpComeOn]

Looks beautiful. We need this in the uk ❤ it’s like a southern American version of toby carvery and we love that heavily over here. I think it would be really successful

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

@@sUpComeOn I’m sure it would. Good ole Soul Food!

[@Gustav041106]

Absolutely awesome. I hope the future owners keep everything the way it is right now until I can get there.

[@smigitgettit4162]

Looks amazing!! And the building is beautiful especially the chandaleer Ali

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

It really is!

[@samo_ammo]

This is such a great review! The food looks so delicious! The chicken didn’t look like a fried dough ball and glad to know the gravy didn’t taste like wallpaper paste 😅 Thanks for the review!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you for watching! Yes, it was all delicious.

[@litaheffley6990]

Wow 👌 everything looked so delicious 😋

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Yes, it was great!

Thank you. 80’s throwback moves. lol!!

[@sUpComeOn]

@@goodallscountrykitchen killing it 👊🏾

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

I've been there maybe 12 year's ago. It was very good, home style cooking. The Shelbyville Ky. area is nice.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Yes, very pictures drive.

[@greenQT]

OMG. YUM! There are those breaded tomatoes. Karla in Cali

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Very tasty!

[@MartyInLa]

Watching this made me hungry as hell. Never even heard of hot browns or corn pudding before. Wish I lived near this place!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

You definitely are not from Kentucky. Hot Browns are popular, especially in z Louisville where they were invented.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I’m glad it made you hungry too. I must be doing my job.

[@MartyInLa]

@@goodallscountrykitchen I wonder if any place in Los Angeles does a good job making them.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I doubt if anybody out there serves them. Probably never heard of hot browns.

[@MartyInLa]

@@goodallscountrykitchen If you know of any good Southern style restaurant in California, let me know! I will say we have a lot of great Asian and Mexican food.

[@sherry2818]

That corn pudding and cream spinach has got to go; and take the stewed tomatoes with them! 😝 the meal looks great honestly! Nicely cooked!

[@SheltieAgilityCH]

If you ever get to Michigan, we have a couple restaurants in Frakenmuth called either the Bavarian Inn or Zehnders. They are known for their chicken and also rift before those restaurants Frankenmuth has the largest Christmas store in America called Bronners!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you for the info. If o get up tgat way I’ll be sure and check them out.

[@louisvillebsc1976]

We ate there about 4 months ago. Sunday buffet was plenty good but the stewed tomatoes was the hit. The chicken was ok. The carved beef was dry. The side dishes were the bomb.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thanks for the follow up.

[@beckyjanes1283]

Love Claudias! I worked there in high school. All three of my boys worked there in high school as well! The hot brown is Great!!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I love that place. Ihope whoever buys it continues the tradition[.

[@rudolfogrease7895]

Hi, we want to visit. How do you compare it to the new KFC?

[@shirleyfranz3040]

That bread pudding looks amazing! Yum!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

It was excellent!

[@alphadogstudio]

My favorite restaurant! Unfortunately, I don't get to go there very often.

[@UncleMickeyKentucky]

Great food and service, love every visit there. I hope if it changes hands everything remains the same.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I know what you mean. That’s why when I heard it was for sale I made a special trip to get out there.

[@Raphael959]

That how kfc was back in the day

[@sharpiefatah3657]

Nice one Brother, Nice one

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you. I was there yesterday.

[@mendanperkase7223]

they must francise this to Malaysia.................KFC taste never be the same like first appearance in 80s............we really need this restaurant concept in KL!!!!

[@michan6705]

I did not know that as a malaysian, i only know that the chicken is smaller now then the 2000s.

[@CindyYr11]

I never heard of A Hot Brown so I wouldn’t know a good one from a terrible one. I would give it a try. Definitely regional food that typically isn’t served in western Pa. Glad you like hot sauce because I noticed that it’s Ranch Dressing on everything!!! I wonder if there’s a Ranch flavored ice cream 🍦? I absolutely dislike Ranch, sorry I don’t mean to upset the Rancher’s! ❤

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I can take or leave ranch but need my hot sauce.

[@RaahilAbhay]

Awesome review mate, will have to head out there one day!

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Kentucky Fried Chicken ended when they went to KFC. Some things were changed and the food has never been as good since. Except for the coleslaw and the biscuits. But this looked fantastic!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

It’s awesome!

[@xxkissmeketutxx]

How is no one mentioning your intro dance?! I love it, the tune gets me RIGHT into a vibe and the dance is funky too woooh 😄 💃 If it's not too personal a question, may i ask where your accent is from? I'm Australian. If i went to your country i believe I'd have an accent to you, if that makes sense? May i know your accent? I had a look online at the menu, if i get to being there, i think I'll need a few days to taste everything there, as I'd like to try most everything. I have a weakness for bread and many comments at saying the yeast rolls there are amazing, so that alone would be a hurdle for me hehe😂 Thanks for showing the restaurant and meals to me over in Australia 😄

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

You are very welcome. Those are old dance moves from the 1980’s. I am from Louisville, Kentucky. I have lived here my entire life. We have mostly southern/country accents here. The Chicken House has some of the best yeast rolls you’ll ever have. That place is a great example of down home, country Cookin. Thank you so much for following my channel. Let me know if you ever come to this area and I’ll meet up with you for lunch. Take care. Barry Goodall

[@lewisoneal3987]

I will be checking it out very soon great review as always

Col. Sanders was the FIRST celebrity chef! A good friend of mine bought a Karmann Ghia that had belonged to his personal assistant, she often drove the Colonel around in it. Hard to picture the Colonel riding around in a powder-blue Karmann Ghia!

His personal assistant now owns Claudia Sanders..

@@goodallscountrykitchenis that true? Would love to hear her stories.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

@@GP_Blend yes

[@pastadoll]

Mr. Goodall what is a dark brown, I never heard of that dish! That creamed spinach looked good. Looks like the food served in grammar school back in the '60's. And no one beats Colonel Sanders fried chicken. Enjoy!!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Never heard of a dark brown.

is it better than kfc? because kfc makes me feel sick/yuck whenever i eat it

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Way better

No comparison!

It’s Becaus it’s the original recipe of kfc made by colonel sander’s

It's not greasy at all. Everytime I try the chicken im surprised how juicy the chicken is.

It has to be better kfc has gotten so fake

[@imNoahTBH]

KFC would have been way more popular if they kept this recipe I haven’t had it but I can already tell it’s way better then there current mediocre ass chicken I would like to come to this place for better then mediocre.

I miss Johnies Fried Chicken, sorry to see these old school places go. Restaurants are either so corporate or somebody gets so Bunche’ that its not the good food that it should be.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

In Claudia’s case, the owners are old and want to retire.

​@@goodallscountrykitchen they don't have successor

It’s great food and very cool atmosphere.

[@deborahgrace5850]

Wow this is the swankiest place you have ever reviewed. I would love to eat there.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

It’s pretty nice. But yes, I try not to get too fancy on my review stops. It’s a very picturesque drive also.

[@RayRay002]

I guess it'd be good to try once for nostalogic sake but for $18+ i wouldn't make it a regular for sure.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

If you could eat as much chicken as me you’d be going back often.

[@blaakrose]

I worked there in the late 80s. The original restaurant burned down in May 1999. Do a search online and the news story will come up and video of the fire. The things I saw working there I could tell would shock people. There is food on the menu today that wasn't sold back in the 1980s. Several food items have been added since.

[@GP_Blend]

Really? I would be very interested to hear what you have to say

[@DavidS22003]

Will you be selling this resturant to yum brands anytime soon

Yeah I am one of those people too, don’t serve me no breast 😂😂😂😂😂 I stop visiting a certain local Popeyes for half a year because they goofed and gave me a breast 😅 Just keep it thighs, legs and wings 😂😂😂😂😂 The food here look very good 👍🏾 I always heard that Claudia Sanders was more of the unfiltered version of Colonel Sanders or Kentucky Fried Chicken. The expanded options are cool. Appreciate this review 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you for reaching out. I wish I would have waited to do the review tomorrow for the Sunday buffet. I could have shown more entrees. But then again, chicken is the focus at this place.

[@the16thGemini]

@@goodallscountrykitchen Indeed the chicken 🐓 🐓🐓 is the key focus. Our great tradition of comfort/soul food 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Cool to know they do pork chops !!!! Those sides looked amazing too. Was there Mac and cheese on the menu ?

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

I don’t recall seeing Mac-n-cheese but can’t swear it’s not on the menu. I told my server to use her judgement and bring me the second round of sides. Sorry.

[@kurumikuam]

theres more meat in thigh parts tho?

[@loisbringhurst3129]

Do they still serve the mock oysters?

what is the address please

101 Google Way

[@hoosierpete]

If someone is smart, they'll buy that place just for the Colonel Sanders' original recipe. Imagine what that alone is worth. You could franchise it.

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

There are restrictions from a lawsuit back in the 70’s between KFC and Col. Ssnders. That’s why they had to change the name of the restaurant from “Colonels Lady” to “Claudia Sanders”. They can’t use the Colonel’s name in any way. It’s word of mouth in the chicken recipe.

[@GP_Blend]

@@goodallscountrykitchenI had not heard that before but I do know about the issues between Col. Sanders and the corporation

[@davidbrothers3788]

Man kfc could take a few lessons from this place starting with their fried chicken

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thats the truth!

[@stevelogan5475]

You are like me pal, I like thighs and legs, breadt my least fave, I like the 1st round of sides best, corporations ruined KFC, their chix pieces are the size of quail, their pot pie is the best thing they have now on the menu at the corp. KFC

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Yes, I agree. The first round were my choices. I left it up to the server on the second round. But the mash potatoes and gravy were to die for!!!!
