“ Second time trying Guthrie's in Lanett! Nice young lady took my order inside! I guess it's cooked to order because it took 10-15 minutes to get my order to go! Chicken has a great flavor and the fries were good too! I love Cole Slaw but there's isn't all that good! It isn't chopped but more sliced and has a vinegary taste to it! May give it another try next time! ”
“ Giving it 5 star across the board because the food was THAT good. The staff was not friendly. Our clerk wouldn’t even look at me when I placed our order but that’s ok. I’ll forgive all of that because the food was PERFECT. If you’re a Zaxby’s fan, you won’t be, after eating at Guthrie’s. Everything about Zaxby’s OG menu is a complete copycat of Guthrie’s except Guthrie’s did it better. Gutherie’s was established in 1965. Zaxby’s, 1990. Guthrie’s chicken had a way better batter, was juicy and actually broke apart when you got it. It also wasn’t super salty. Zaxby’s chicken bends, it’s always dry, no matter what chain you go to, and, it’s SO salty. Guthrie’s fries were better cooked, signature sauce was WAY BETTER than Zax sauce, and the coleslaw was PERFECT. Toast was also fresh and not what we call, “Zaxby’s Stale...” Just found out that a Guthrie’s opened locally and we hope it puts the neighborhood Zaxby’s out of business. LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL CHICKEN TENDER CREATOR. Gutherie’s made us a believer. ”
“ Excellent experience. Limited menu, but what they make, they make well. The toast was heavy, the cole slaw was on point and the chicken fingers with their dip was very good. ”
“ We ended up accidently finding some of the best chicken your ever gunna be howling for guaranteed, take the check to the bank. The staff was incredible, friendly, and fast. The facilities were immaculately cleaned. Even all the condiments were fully stocked and pleasantly arranged. We have been to a few Guthrie's and we are always blown away but this was the best . ”
