Wayside has the best fried chicken in Charlottesville. Their sides are not the best. They appear to be mostly prepackaged. They also do a decent break…

Chicken breast super juicy and collard greens fresh and absolutely perfect! Short wait on a busy Saturday night.
Okay, I must say that this place hands down has the best friend chicken in Charlottesville, Virginia. I have eaten there many, many times and I have never, ever had a bad meal from this place.
Great Chicken. This tiny place serves some very, very good Southern fried chicken, and some other decent items, as wel, and has been doing so for years and yearsl. The crust is thin, much like that at Price’s Chicken Coop in Charlotte, there is very little greasiness, and the taste is nice, though it is mildly seasoned compared to much fried chicken found in the South.The 3 Wing Lunch comes with a roll and one side. The wings were perfectly fried, the roll was rather ordinary, as was the Mac & Cheese – cost was $4.39. W e ordered a single thigh, which also was perfectly fried, with very little grease, and cost $1.32. I like that you can order individual pieces, which more chicken places did this because ordering plates or luchs forces you into getting side, and frankly most chicken places do not shine in this area, although the fries here (more of a steak fry) were absolutely excellent. Also ordered a foot long hot dog, but would not do so again, chili was nothing special, rather bland actually.There is limited seating here, maybe 6 booths, a couple of small tables, and some stools along the front – most folks seem to get take out. We were there about 11 AM on Friday, and folks were ordering take out fot tailgating at the UVA game the next day. It is a little difficult to get to depending on the direction you are coming from because a part of Jefferson Park Avenue is close for bridge work, and will remain so for at least another year. But this place is worth finding, the fried chicken is great
Chicken the best, sides so-so. Normally, I can take fried chicken or leave it (mostly leave it, actually), but this is great fried chicken. It’s tender, flavorful, and has incredible skin. I’m not crazy about most of their sides, though. Except for the cole slaw which is excellent (and I should mention that I’m incredibly picky about my coleslaw; this is the first one in years I’ve liked), the ones I’ve had have ranged from meh to blech.I can also recommend their sweet potato pie—if only they served whipped cream with it!
This place has some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Tender, juicy and fast to order. The sides I’ve tried were also excellent. This is country cookin no doubt about it! A must try in this area!
Not only does Wayside do chicken, but their other offerings are also marvelous. Try a hot ham n’ cheese sub with some tater wedges. Go!
This is our town’s fried chicken Mecca. Always moist, crispy and delicious. Classic fried chicken sides served here. Oh and don’t forget the southern swet tea and a lemon pie for dessert!
