Good food and fast served, this deserves a good review. The cherry on the cake : service ! That lovely woman at the desk, manager I suppose (if not, way time to promote her) ! Smart, polite and friendly, sharp and helpful. She’s well worth 5 stars alone

Visiting friend down the street. First time here. Esmeralda hooked it up. Explained everything to me although its a straight forward menu. I can't do spicy anymore so she recommended the "no spice". I had the number 3, sando and a tender. Fries crispy presentation CLEAN, taste was best chicken sando ever. Place is chill, super clean, and has a/c.

Ample parking around the restaurant and the long opening hours is great. The cauliflower bites are really nice! Chicken tenders are good and love the spices on it. The bread however is just a slice from a loaf and it’s not grilled or toasted. Other fried chicken restaurants do their bread a lot better. Would have love a bit more sauce too.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE !!!!! The atmosphere is so cool and very colorful. The chicken is so damn good. It was fresh hot. They got my order correct . There’s plenty of parking outside. This place on the food scales are 10 out of 10 you have to try them. The bathrooms are clean. The place is clean.

Ordered extra hot tender and medium sider. Loved both. The chicken is not dry, which is the main quality you would expect. Fries are phenomenal, and mac and cheese is alright. The food was ready quickly. I would suggest they add a bit of tangy flavor to the spices.
