Country Corner at Hundred Oaks and Perkins

Normally I just run by here for boiled crabs or crawfish or beer if I’m headed to a get together with friends in that area. The people are super nice and I’ve always been treated right there, which is not a guarantee at corner markets, but I heard good things about their fried chicken from some co-workers so I went to check it out and thought What the heck? and just got one of everything in the hot box display. The chicken was very good, and the meat pie had a nice spicy kick to it. The egg roll and the corn dog were both good, but not really any better than anyplace else. It was just good to be able to get them both in the same place. I also got a sausage and cheese biscuit that was left over from breakfast, and I want to go back and get one a little earlier in the day, but they have a great half-life, so I wasn’t disappointed with it at all. The star of the show though was the fried fish filets. Pretty sure it was that Mekong Delta catfish called basa, but it was perfectly cooked, flaky, tasty, really hit the spot. No need to order everything like that, but it is good to know what’s there and available if you just want a quick hit to take on the road when you’re running late. Good stuff, all of it.
