Holy Co. has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Chicken Tenders but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Korean BBQ Wings hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Chicken & Waffles was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Chicken & Waffles stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
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.
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.
