Seminole Heights now has its own unofficial fried chicken district.

The Fryer House, a new halal fried chicken spot, opened Sunday, Sept. 1 in the former BFF Artisan Bakery location at 6617 N Nebraska Ave., which is directly across the street from popular Korean fried chicken restaurant Ganchu Chicken & Beer.

The concept centers around halal-fried chicken sandwiches and tendies, as well as Japanese "karaage" chicken, and American style, all with varying degrees of hotness from "Nada" to "Pepper X," which requires a waiver. 

The Fry House menu spans plenty of sides like fried corn ribs, mac 'n cheese, fried okra and more. There's also vegan and vegetarian offerings, including vegan cauliflower and waffles, vegan cauliflower sandos and vegetarian loaded fries. 

Plus, there's grilled halal chicken pastor tacos available on the weekends.

This is the company's first brick-and-mortar location. Fryer House also has a food truck parked at 11301 N 56th St., in the Terrace Oaks plaza in Temple Terrace.
