  Love!
  Fried chicken without the grease.
  Who knew it was possible?!
  So fast that our chicken came before we even sat down, while still filling the drinks.
  Can't make this up.
  Kale salad crazy good
  Parmesan garlic cheese fries
  My new fav fast food

  Joella's is located in the big shopping center right off the Gene Snyder freeway in Middletown. Its behind Double Dogs and Chick Fil A. It's always poppin' in there, but we've never had trouble getting a seat.
  
  Today we stopped by for a lunch while out shopping. I had the three fingers and two sides meal. I went for the macaroni and cheese and park garlic fries. Dang, they did not disappoint. The fries were sooo good. The mac n cheese was super creamy and flavorful too. The chicken was pretty good, but I wasn't as excited about it. The fountain drinks were all Joella's brand so I sprung for a sweet tea.

  I love this place! I started going in college and am still going 4 years later. The food is delicious; the service is always great. I personally prefer the Ella's fav because the tweener is pretty spicy. The parm garlic fries are a MUST and make your face do this emoji:  
  
  This is a great place for friends, families, dinner, and lunch. The prices are reasonable and you never regret going there!

  We are from out of town visiting family,  and they recommended we stop here for dinner real fast before we went on a bike ride.  I have to say the food was really good,  and the guy who took our order was super patient as we clearly didnt know what we wanted.  We all got chicken tenders for the most part (I got chicken thigh).  It was crunchy and not super greasy looking (But i presume the bread it came on probably help absorbed some of the grease.)   We were also super excited for the Boylan soda on tap !!   Side note,  upgrade for the parm string fries...  its worth  it.
  
  The only negative experience was on my exit.  I asked one of the gentlemen for a plastic fork.  He vaguely directed me to the carryout area (mind you I have never been here and he wasnt super helpful with more specific directions).  I went in the general area he pointed towards, and after a moment of confusion he got a snooty attitude and said "that isnt what i meant,  but that's fine).   His attitude was so apparent my old man (who was half way across the room) asked what the problem was becauee he saw the attitude on the guys face.  This was what brought it from a 5 star (which was what i started with) to a 4.
