Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Spicy Tenders 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.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Buffalo Wings was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
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.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Spicy Tenders hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
