Went in based on google reviews. Breakfast sandwich was good. Homogenous place, manager not friendly at all (but he was filling in for the owner), but kitchen staff were friendly. Had to work directly with them for options. The tip jar, by the way, doesn’t go to the kitchen staff so I gave tip directly to them. Will have to try the chicken before having a true review, but I don’t eat fried food. Prices are good, place is strip mall style but big. No outdoor tables so sat in a corner far from the people.
I would've given 5 but the cuts on the chicken are not consistent. All different sizes. Also I didn't receive my extra side of fries today. I tried calling but no one answers and it goes straight to voice mail. The way I look at it is if I'm paying $26 to 28 I better get all my food without having to try to get with the owner or have to get back out.
So 9 months ago I paid way too much for 6 Chicken bites and no fries. Today I paid $13 for a club sandwich and a very small fry order. Place has gone down miss Mike
