Jeez it’s been years since I’ve dropped by here, I honestly had forgotten how good this place is. I love that the fried chicken sando is so minimal, that slaw does so much work. You’d think oh maybe this needs a sauce, maybe some pickles, perhaps a slice of tomato… But no. This thing rocks as is. Absolutely eat it with the hot sauce. Most people talk about the strawberry shortcake, but I’m here to tell you to get the pecan shortbread, it’s perfect.

My friend Faith was visiting from Maryland. I had asked her what and where she wanted to eat at while she was in town. She said, "Bakesale Betty"! (Oakland). Her first time trying this fried chicken sandwich w/slaw was 7 years ago. I was surprised that out of all the places she visited before, this was the spot she wanted to go back to! Bakesale makes many delicious baked goods which includes cookies, scones and pies. But, you are really here for one thing: Fried Chicken sandwich w/slaw. Crispy, juicy chicken w/touches of cayenne and pepper. Dare I say it's one of the best? I had one for lunch and I'm already thinking about wanting another one!

Hella good! Don't let the long line down the block discouraged you... Line moves fast. Food is delicious. Specials daily. Chicken sandwich is simple but perfect in every bite. Baked goodies scrumptious!!! Chocolate chip shotbrread cookie, banana nut bread and Apple pie are my favorites.

The Staff was fast and super friendly. I will be back. I lived in Hapeville for 3.5 years where Chick-fil-a began and ate there quite often. Bakesale Betty’s Chicken sandwich doesn’t taste anything like that but it’s good: fresh, crispy and flavorful. I asked for no slaw so I could taste the chicken all on its own. I’m getting the slaw next time, the sandwich definitely needs condiments. Waiting in line was worth the hype.

Review as of 2/23/24 -Caramel Banana Bread Pudding: out of this world good. One of the best bread puddings I have had. Not too sweet. 8.5/10 -Chocolate Chip Shortbread: not too sweet, a good sized cookie and a good shortbread crumble. 8/10 - Butter Pecan Shortbread: buttery Goodness, a great cookie! Not sweet and a nice sized cookie. 9/10 -Apple Pie: not to fond of apple pie to begin with but I didn’t use that as a guide. The pie is ok. Crust is good but filling is just ok. May be pairs better warm with some ice cream. 7/10

The fried chicken sandwich didn’t live up to the hype imo. Needed more spices/rub/pickled ingredients. Overall, it was still very good but not 5 star must have. Hot sauce is a must IMO. We got the strawberry shortcake too and it was good.

I would say maybe 4.2 to 4.3, because it truly is a fantastic signature sandwich and the size is respectable for being roughly a $10 sandwich, but the overall experience felt short of 4.5 or above. And it’s not even the wait time, because that’s actually kind of a part of the fun! Definitely builds of the experience, but just walking in, it just feels a little too simple and could use maybe a little more decor for some added ambiance. Unlike some of the more recent comments, I did not get any attitude from the associates, they were perfectly respectable. Thankfully you have a good amount of outdoor seating to enjoy the sandwich that you waited a decent amount of time for.

Chicken Sandwich was okay, but lacked seasoning. The slaw might be good on other sandwiches, but I don't think it paired well with the chicken patty. I got a chocolate chip cookie, and was very undwhelmed by it. It was extremely sweet, but lacked any of the real flavor of a chocolate chip cookie. The texture of it seemed a bit off as well.

Not the worst chicken sandwich I’ve tried, but definitely not the best. Entirely too much slaw in it and a ginormous piece of unseasoned chicken breast is left once the breading eventually slides off the meat. Disappointed after seeing such amazing reviews on Google and subsequently struggling to find parking on this very busy street. The choc chip shortbread cookie was very good, however. Great and friendly service too!

Did not live up to the hype at all. The fried chicken itself was good but not great. It was not crispy enough. And there was too much coleslaw in the sandwich and it just overpowers the sandwich. I removed some of it but that did not redeem it. There was no sauce in the sandwich and the it really needed it.They do give a packet of hot sauce along with the sandwich but that does not do justice to the chicken.

I always see a line at the place and wanted to check it out. I got the chicken sandwich and the bread pudding. I would not recommend if you are looking for flavorful food. The chicken sandwich has a lot of slaw in it and is the most tasteless chicken I have had in a while. The bread pudding wasn't tasty. The caramel drizzle was tasty. Maybe they added so much caramel to compensate for the taste. I should have read the reviews before going.
