Joella's Hot Chicken At The Banks

Wow!!! Ordered some big tenders and big wings. The chicken was awesome, very tender and juicy. The wings were much bigger than expected. Tried with the tweener heat level which was the perfect level of heat. It made my nose run a little. You could start to feel it but wasn't overpowering. Side orders were green beans with bacon, mashed potatoes with gravy and mac & cheese. Our favorite was the green beans. They were bacony and delicious. We'll definitely visit again when in the area.

As everything is in lockdown, I will be back when everything is open to try it again. But the chicken was great! Moist and crispy. I got the hot level and was disappointed because it wasn’t really hot at all. Maybe I got the wrong level by accident or maybe the sauce wasn’t made like usual, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. I wasn’t unhappy with my meal, just wish it were hotter. But the MAC was awesome! Cheesy and garlicky, I was very happy. I will definitely be back, but give it a try in the meantime and support local business!

We only had time to hit one hot chicken spot in Cincinnati and Joella's was the recommendation. It turned out to be a superb one. We tried the tenders, wings, and straight up chicken and they were all absolutely mouth watering (if a little salty, but that's the style!). There are a number of sides to choose from: I recommend the Mac and Cheese and the fries. The chicken is crazy tender and very flavorful.
