Team Hartz or Team Cajun’s? Vote now for the best fried chicken buffet on the MS Coast.

There’s nothing like all-you-can-eat fried chicken to set a Southern heart aflutter.

Here on the Mississippi Coast, we’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy two such establishments. Hartz Chicken Buffet at 800 Bienville Blvd. in Ocean Springs and Cajun’s Fabulous Fried Chicken on Pass Road in Gulfport each set out a daily spread of crispy fried chicken, vegetables and all the fixings for lunch and dinner.

While these two icons would never ask you to choose just one side when there’s at least half a dozen on hand on their buffet lines, we are going to ask you to make a choice. Dish up all your heart desires and then let us know which chicken buffet is the best.

Stick with tradition, flip a coin, or go where your heart leads you. We won’t ask how you know what you know, but will just see if everyone else agrees.

Cajun’s Fabulous Fried Chicken and Hartz Chicken Buffet are the two standalone fried chicken buffets on the Coast. Which his your favorite?
