We reached the restaurant after 8pm, the restaurant was still crowded through it was over the peak period for dinner. The restaurant is situated next to the Chiayi Night Market.
The staff was extremely friendly and efficient, one of the waiter quickly arranged for a room to seat 14 of us then recommended and helped us to order our dishes. We have to pay at the cashier counter in front of the shop before the food been served; the cashier was friendly and helpful too, and she even joked with us.
The stewed clay pot fish head was delicious and we ended up ordered another two pots.The Turkey rice and other side dishes are good too.
The place is clean. The service was fast and efficient, even for the additional orders. Price was reasonable too, definitely value for money.

A simple Taiwanese snack well-made. Al-dente glutinous rice with flavorful braised pork mince. 糯米很Q很香。覺得單吃糯米也是很好吃！配上滷肉。小碗30塊。超多人外帶！

這天早起來到東市場，找尋傳說中的牛雜湯，到攤位前可見一大鍋的牛雜，真是大開眼界了，各種牛內臟在大鍋裡煮沸著，二話不說點碗牛雜湯試試，湯裡的配料非常豐富，牛肚、牛腸、牛肺...還有許多不知道部位的內臟，每一樣內臟店家都處理得很乾淨，沒有腥味，湯頭是很棒的大骨湯，非常棒、非常鮮的牛雜湯，值得一試。

Kuo's rice with chicken slices is the eatery with the longest queque. If you're a foreigner new to Taiwan's food, you have to give it a try - steamy rice with redolent sauced chicken slices, stick rice rolls and pig-blood soup...(drooling). Be patient with the lone line, though. It's worth the wait. A eatery hard to miss and easy to please the mouth.

店內沒有到處貼滿名人加持的照片，也不是一般遊客叫得出名的店家，但平價、好吃的料理卻吸引一票在地人的光顧，使用正火雞肉再加上筍乾、淋上湯汁，濕潤、香氣四溢的火雞肉飯是店內招牌，小菜跟湯品也都以平價的價格以及實在的食材吸引著大家，非常值得推薦的老牌火雞肉飯。

This place was not too dissimilar to other restaurants in the area, sure it might have some history but the food was just so-so and the environment not to an international standard. Interestingly, they do not serve drinks here, you would have to bring your own.

Most tourists would go to the more "famous" chicken rice eatery near the round-about at down town. However, most locals would agree (at least most of my parents and his friends) that this one is the best one in town. Mind you that there is always a bit if waiting except around 3pm. There is always someone who direct people to park properly at the door, that's how good the food is.

I recommend Thefreen Burger(樂檸漢堡) to all tourists who can't adapt to Taiwanese food. 漢堡很好吃! 他們的漢堡麵包是自家烘焙的。 加了鳳梨的牛肉漢堡吃起來很清爽。 但是薯條和雞塊頗普通。 早上10點前提供的早餐菜單看起來值得期待，沒能吃到很可惜。 推薦給來嘉義玩，不想吃正餐的朋友。

I liked the soup. There were reviews that it was too sweet but I found it just right. The soup is good and I drank a fair bit. The fish head is ok in my opinion but the beancurd skin is delicious. Waited 30mins and did not think I wasted time.
