Love me some Cane's, hard to beat. They made some smart business plans. Super simple menu, do it good, do it fast.

But hear me out. If you are ever in north central Iowa, in the town of Lake Mills. Stop in Don's Motor Mart, and grab yourself some Charlie Biggs chicken. They make chicken by the piece and chicken tenders. Both good but the tenders are amazing. Charlie Biggs is a franchise, so I know you can get it other places, I have never seen it anywhere else though, and I don't know if anywhere makes it as good as Don's. For a gas station that place has some seriously good chicken. Haven't been there for a few years though.
Don’s sells chicken? Probably shouldn’t surprise me as they will sell anything that they can make a profit off of. No issues with them, I graduated with one of them, just didn’t know they sold fried chicken.

Yeah, and Godfathers pizza. The chicken is really really good.

I knew they sold pizza, couldn’t remember what kind. I will swing through there besides Caseys since I graduated with one of the owners (dons sons now) if I’m passing through and want something quick. Subway can be a little slower at that time.

It's not there anymore but J&J 25 miles east of there in Kahoka had the best fried chicken and potato wedges known to mankind. I'll fight anybody who says otherwise.
Kahoka? Dammit! I missed the mule show again this year.
 
For chains its Popeyes for me. So greasy and tasty - terrible poops afterwards. As mentioned earlier, The Ornery Chicken in Ankeny is my go to locally. So good.

I finally had cane’s and line was crazy long because I guess there are 2 locations for 20 million people in metro.

Chicken was ok, slightly worse than chic fil a but not bad. Fries were really bad. It is a boatload of food for the money in area with high prices elsewhere.
