While independent eateries have their charm, some restaurants grow so popular they expand beyond their original locations.

Bojangles, a beloved North Carolina chain, is one such example. Since opening its first restaurant in Charlotte in 1977, Bojangles has grown to hundreds of locations across the southeastern U.S.

Known for its fluffy biscuits and crispy, tender chicken seasoned with Cajun spices, Bojangles is a must-visit for anyone in North Carolina.

Whether it's a biscuit sandwich for breakfast or a hearty chicken dinner with sides like dirty rice, mac 'n' cheese, or coleslaw, Bojangles delivers on flavor and comfort food that keeps diners coming back.

One Google reviewer shared:

Finally tried Bojangles first time ! It was so good. Had a unique taste into it. The biscuit was more on the savory side. The chicken was marinated really well.
