A surprise party was held in honor of Charlie Lentz, a long-time customer of Bojangles in North Carolina. Lentz, who has been going to the restaurant for decades, is known for his regular order of the Leg & Thigh meal. The staff at the restaurant often have his meal ready for him when he arrives.

The celebration took place at Bojangles’ location in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which opened in 1994 and has become a familiar spot for Lentz after church on Sundays. Horace Spencer, the regional manager of Bojangles, organized the surprise party to mark Lentz’s milestone birthday.

Lentz’s friends and family gathered at the restaurant to celebrate his special day. He wore a Bojangles crown as he was thrilled with the celebration. Spencer shared that Lentz typically visits Bojangles with family and friends from his church, located nearby. His consistent order of the $8 Leg & Thigh meal, which includes two pieces of chicken, two sides, and a biscuit, is always prepared for him ahead of time.

Bojangles was founded in Charlotte, North Carolina in 1977 and now operates over 800 restaurants in 17 states. The restaurant is known for its southern-inspired dishes like chicken and biscuits.
