After a nearly three-month wait, hot chicken fans can finally return to Joella’s Seminole location for their fix on Wednesday, Sept. 2.
The Seminole location, which is one of three in Florida, initially closed in June due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To celebrate its reopening, the restaurant is holding a grand opening ceremony at 10:30 a.m. at 7893 113th St. in Seminole. In attendance will be Mayor Leslie Waters, Vice Mayor Chris Burke and other city officials.
To sweeten the deal even more, Joella’s is offering their jumbo chicken meal for $5.99 all day. The meal includes chicken tenders, a side, a sauce and a drink. Customers can choose from varying heat levels including “Fire-In Da-Hole” which Joella’s considers waiver-worthy. For those with special dietary needs, Joella’s tenders can be made gluten-free or vegan. The menu also features chicken and waffles, mac & cheese, wings and other Southern classics.
Keeping safety in mind, the location has added an option for curbside pick-up and takeaway meal packs in order to remain safe amid the pandemic. Customers who wish to stay home can also order food to be delivered.
Following the reopening, Joella’s will be open Wednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner.
