The V’s Gourmet Fried Chicken plate features bone-in chicken pieces fried in-house with a choice of Mild, Seasoned, or Cajun breading, typically ordered by the piece or as a dinner with sides like fries or coleslaw.[13][12] What sets this chicken apart is the distinct breading blends that give each flavor profile its own character, with a focus on crisp coating and well-seasoned meat rather than heavy batter.[13][12] Eating it, you get a satisfying crunch followed by juicy meat, and the portions tend to be generous enough for hearty appetites.[13][12] Local writers and reviewers consistently single out this shop when talking about Cleveland fried chicken, noting that people will drive across town specifically for these baskets.[12][2]
