To commemorate his 105th birthday, Bojangles surprised Charlie Lentz with a surprise party instead of his usual meal. Lentz, a long-time customer of the North Carolina restaurant, is renowned for ordering the Leg & Thigh two-piece meal which staff would have ready for him upon his arrival. The surprise party was planned by Bojangles and attended by Lentz’s friends and family.
Lentz, who visits Bojangles every Sunday after church, was greeted with a birthday celebration instead of his customary meal. The event held at the Winston-Salem location was an unexpected surprise for Lentz, who wore a Bojangles crown to mark the occasion.
Typically, Lentz visits Bojangles with family and friends from his church located just a short distance from the restaurant. He is known for ordering the Leg & Thigh two-piece meal that includes two sides and a biscuit. Bojangles, which opened its first restaurant in Charlotte in 1977, now operates over 800 restaurants across 17 states with a focus on southern-inspired chicken and biscuits.
