Sunday Best By Juniper

We ordered half bird spicy, bread basket, mac n cheese, collard greens, and some smokey catfish dip. First, chicken was absolutely amazing. 10/10. And mac n cheese, creamy and well cooked but maybe need little bit more of seasoning. Collard greens, good texture but it was bit sweet to me. Smokey catfish dip had very clean flavor. Overall, I will come back to try other things! Also our server, Seth was very attentive and kind!

Awesome food, great service, and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend this place. The food was exceptional. I had the wedge salad, with fried chicken. Hubby had the chicken fingers with fries. Simple lunch that was full of flavor. The chicken was juicy and crispy. Cooked perfectly! Highly recommend.

Everything about this place was charming, especially our waiter Sam K. I just loved him. Although the menu isn’t as extensive as the ones in some of the other google reviews (the restaurant went through a rebrand recently), the items they did have were amazing, and we left feeling full and happy. Highly recommend!

I’ve been coming to Juniper for years solely for the fried chicken so when the restaurant transitioned to the poultry-centric “Sunday Best” I was ecstatic. Sure, the old menu was filled with gourmet delights that a copious amount of people enjoyed. I was not one of those people. I ONLY ever got the fried chicken. People with whom I dined ventured off the beaten path into the depths of gastronomic pleasantries but I remained stalwart. Sunday Best held true to the fried chicken I’ve grown to love at Juniper. One could even say there are slight improvements upon the old recipe. The chicken itself was cooked wonderfully. Juicy on the inside, crispity-crunchity on the outside. I particularly enjoyed the spicy version after trying both side-by-side. Seemingly a Nashville inspired hot oil. The strips were thick and delectable but the main attraction for me was the bone-in variety. I had the breast and wing. Both were fall-off-the-bone tender. Well seasoned and mouthwatering. 9.15/10 clucks. The sides were hit or miss. The bread plate was AMAZING. The cornbread was my favorite followed by the fluffy Cheez-Its. My friend got the mac and cheese and could only take a single bite of it. Just not their cup of tea. The cucumber tomato salad was good but the collard greens were too sweet. The fries were crispy and texturally magnificent but very slightly too salty. My biggest let down was the ranch. For years I had smuggled Wingstop ranch into Juniper to accompany my chicken. For whatever reason they just didn’t offer it back then. Now they have a buttermilk-dill ranch and let me tell you it should be called “dill sauce in the style of ranch”. Very overpowering dill notes and the texture is odd and lumpy. I reckon I’ll be going back to bringing the ol’ trusty Wingstop ranch with me on future visits. Overall I LOVED the chicken and the atmosphere. The Cheerwine was a tremendous surprise as well. I enjoyed the Cheerwine cocktail AND a bottle of the plain, unadulterated, soft drink with my meal. Both really hit the spot. First rate service and friendly staff. Very strongly recommend.

Mostly great experience, couple little things. Had great service. Never had to ask for anything, always on top of it. Love the spot. Very bright, feels really open. I'm not an oyster person, but the people at the table said they were really good. Had the pimento cheese appetizer. The crackers were great, I think home made. The cheese was a little salty for my taste. Had the Sunday's Best spicy chicken sandwich for my main. It was really good. Maybe not as spicy as I had expected when ordering a spicy chicken sandwich, but was delicious. I swapped out fries for the street corn. That was sort of bland. Was not my favorite. Overall good experience. Will definitely go back and try some more.

Juniper is a hidden gem. It comes across as very unassuming with semi casual seating but has bright and airy decor. The cocktails are very good. I've tried different ones and each time have been very satisfied. For food I got the hot chicken sandwich and it was delicious. My colleague got the scallops and I got to try them they were very tasty. For dessert we got the smores cake and it was yummy. I would highly recommend juniper. There is street parking right outside.
