Here in Grand Rapids is a “Chain”, really only two stores left, called “Chicken Coop”. They serve fish, fries, chicken, slaw, gizzards, and other southern/country fare. Greasy and tasty just like I like it!
I haven’t been there in a while, but as a kid I remember that they had framed Bible verses on the walls of the dining area, and even on the KFC-like bucket of chicken.
Their shops have seen better days, but they do still reel in the business.
If we’re talkin’ small chains in Michigan you should take a drive across the state and check out Bill Thomas’ Haloburger. Don’t know their politics, but them burgers is TASTY!
