Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken Reviews | Mexia Restaurants & Bars

0

"Which ever way you pronounce it; it's a great place to be." Â You mean Mexia, TX home of Anna Nicole Smith? Â No, I mean Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken. Â It's delicious, the skin is crispy and oily, the chicken is juicy, and you get to pick which pieces you want, so it's not a 3 piece - one wing, one leg, one thigh, it's a 3 piece - 2 legs, 1 thigh or 2 wings, 1 leg, or three thighs.... so the possibilities are ENDLESS! The sides are good, cream gravy and mashed potatoes are tasty, and a large sweet tea doesn't fit in my cup holder. Â This is the type of place that is - drinks so big they don't fit in the cup holder. Â Go for the chicken and don't worry about the grease clinging to your arteries - it's worth it.

Chicken Fried goodness. Â Okra is the closest thing you will come to as an actual vegetable on the veggie list, but you are not coming Jim's for the fat free menu. Â Everything is fried and the tea is sweet, the way the God of the South intended it.

If you mention you're going to Mexia, the usual response is, "Where Anna Nicole Smith is from?" Yes. Where Anna Nicole Smith is from. And if you get a hankering for fried chicken or catfish while in Mexia and pop into Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken on Hwy 84, you will be eating at the restaurant she worked at while in high school.

You might think, being in Mexia and all, that the only good thing about Jim's is the Anna Nicole notoriety, but you'd be wrong. Jim's makes good fried chicken, and sells it with good sides, too: rolls, cole slaw, beans, mashed potatoes and cream gravy (not that brown Colonel Sanders stuff). The catfish is good, too. They'll dish it up in styrofoam dinner boxes, or you can get family packs if you're looking for a dining free-for-all.

I've never gotten dessert here -- don't even know if any's on the menu -- nor have I gotten the gizzards 'n' livers. But everything else is pretty good eating. To compare, I prefer the food at Jim's but if I want a jug of ice tea, I go to Bush's over in Bellmead.

Oh, and this being Texas, you get your choice of sweet or unsweet tea.
