Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Buffalo Wings was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Mixed feelings. The Chicken & Waffles was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Great chicken & wings option for the area. The Spicy Tenders was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Spicy Tenders and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Solid spot. The Korean BBQ Wings is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Spicy Tenders was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
