Great chicken & wings option for the area. The Nashville Hot Sandwich 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.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Chicken & Waffles hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Solid spot. The Chicken Tenders 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.
Daily Yard has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Chicken & Waffles but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Buffalo Wings stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
