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.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Nashville Hot Sandwich 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.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Nashville Hot Sandwich 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 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.
