"We came to dine in today at the yard, and we had an amazing experience with the service. Maria who was the manager on duty was very helpful with all our request. She went above and beyond to assist our needs and request including putting smile on my three children faces. We ordered the full jumbo platter with fries and garlic bread and the came presentable and delicious. We will definitely come back and enjoy again. Thank you Maria!!!!"

"You order your food through an app. You pay for the food with tip before even receiving your food. I received the chicken they were supposed to be famous for, and it was cold with barely any flavor."

"4-Star seems fair. The chicken was good. I liked the lemon herb chicken and would consider making something similar at home. It tasted like the chicken was brined and that made it juicy. While it was cooked on direct flame (huge plus for flavor and presentation), the skin was not at all crispy like I enjoy when I make chicken. They likely transfer directly from brine to the grill and do not allow time for the skin to dry and crisp when cooking. The Mac and cheese was above average but less than average portion. They could have doubled the amount and it would have felt correct. The garlic bread was ok at best. It was buttery and toasted. It did not taste like fresh cut garlic and could have been amazing with just a hint of crusted/melted cheese. The fact they said my order was ready and then took another 5minutes to make it because the staff “messed up” with no apology or extra anything partially removed the 5-star. The small Mac and cheese portion and $20 for a chicken thigh and breast portion felt high from similar chicken restaurants. I liked their sauce and bought a bottle to experiment with on wings at home. The bird’s eye chili they use is a nice balanced heat."

"The chicken is good here. I had kabobs with mango lime sauce and a side of rice. They were both delicious. I liked that there was a sink in the dining area so you could wash your hands before eating. That was very convenient. The place has a fun vibe and African music plays. I'm not sure if they are heavy on dark meat, but as food connoisseurs know it's more delicious than white meat owing to the larger fat content. It was juicy and worth the extra calories."

"The food was good and presented nicely. The chicken was juicy, well sauced, and delicious! The staff was friendly and the wait wasn’t long. I loved the variety of sauces available! There is also a hand washing station near the fountain machine, which was super convenient. The atmosphere was open with ample seating. You order at the counter and the food is delivered to your table. The drinks are self serve at the fountain machine - unless alcoholic. I came during lunch and it was a pleasant experience. I recommend giving it a try!"
