Hometown & Co. 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.
Solid spot. The Spicy 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.
Mixed feelings. The Chicken Tenders 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.
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.
Great chicken & wings option for the area. The Chicken 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.
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.
