Part of the charm of DFC is the fact that things have stayed the same over the years. They use the same white serving boxes, the same drinks, and the same fried chicken recipe.

It’s not just fried chicken here that locals love. The fried catfish is also a staple, served up the same way as the chicken - smothered in French fries.
