Joella's Hot Chicken

I used to frequent this location very often on my lunch breaks. My wife and I were in the area and decided to have dinner here. The prices have since went up since they opened understandable as so is everything and everywhere else. The chicken tenders had tendons which is the worst when you bite into them. The collard greens taste just like canned greens with little to no seasoning which they used to be top tier. The Mac and cheese for $3 per side is portioned at a kids meal size and was not very cheesy. I was very disappointed and dissatisfied after spending $26 on subpar meals. Also dining room could use a good cleaning as well.

This location blows Broad Ripple out of the water. Great service and chicken at both locations. If you really want hot chicken, 96th street does it right! Broad Ripple is for sissy wannabes! 😂 get the app and get offers!

It used to a good place to go where I enjoyed the food, in fact I ate there often. I hadn't been there for awhile and my Mother wanted to go someplace for a good chicken sandwich, so I thought 'Joella's'! The nontraditional sodas were gone, the dining room was filthy, no one was cleaning (let alone sanitizing) tables.... but what bothered me the most was that the employees would stop taking care of the customers that actually came to Joella's to eat to take care of the delivery people running Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. Our food sat in the window (I saw it and even had to go and ask that they serve it to us) while they would stand with open bags waiting to fulfill delivery orders before they were even ready to bag up, and wait, and wait for the delivery food to be finished being prepared. Needless to say, our food wasn't hot... or good.

Decided to try off the hottest chicken they have “fire in the hole.” I had to sign a waiver. The chicken tasted okay and the spiciness was pretty hot for me and I enjoyed it. I am a little disappointed on the jojo sauce, tasted good but not wow. Would need to try other sauces. The waffle was also enjoyable.
