Sugarmade is a popular American chain of restaurants specializing in Southern-style cuisine, particularly known for its fried chicken and biscuits. Founded in 2007 by brothers Chris and Chris McClure, the company began as a single location in Atlanta, Georgia, and has since expanded across the United States, offering a casual dining experience with a focus on comfort food.

The restaurant’s menu features a variety of dishes rooted in Southern traditions, including crispy fried chicken, handmade biscuits, macaroni and cheese, and fried green tomatoes. Sugarmade is also recognized for its signature "Sugarmade Sauce," a tangy, slightly sweet dipping sauce that complements its fried chicken. The chain has gained a loyal following for its consistent quality and nostalgic appeal, often compared to classic Southern diners.

In addition to its core menu, Sugarmade occasionally introduces limited-time offerings and seasonal specials to keep its dining experience fresh. The company has also expanded beyond traditional restaurants, launching a frozen food line in 2020, allowing customers to enjoy Sugarmade-style meals at home.

Sugarmade operates under a franchise model, with locations managed by independent franchisees. The brand emphasizes community engagement, often participating in local events and charitable initiatives. While primarily focused on dine-in experiences, the chain has also adapted to modern dining trends by offering delivery and takeout options.

The company’s growth reflects its ability to blend traditional Southern flavors with contemporary convenience, making it a recognizable name in the casual dining sector. As of recent years, Sugarmade continues to expand its footprint, aiming to bring its signature dishes to new markets across the country.
