"Food: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall: Standard fare. The extended review... Food: Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich - 3/5 - A decent sized piece of chicken. Flavor of it was standard fare. I do love me some fried chicken. Service: 4/5 - Friendly staff. Ambiance: 4/5 - Has that old school diner feel to it with some counter seating along with some outdoor benches."

"Pretty perfect hot chicken sandwich. I got the spicy one, which definitely had enough heat to notice, but was far away from being “too spicy.” Everyone at the table loved it. The sauce really rounded it out, and the bun was equally on point. The fries were actually pretty noteworthy in their own right. Definitely not filler. When we showed up at 1:50p they were closed and a sign saying they’d be back at 2. It wasn’t until 2:20 when a couple employees finally opened up. So while the service leaves something to be desired, I can’t not give them 5 stars - and hope they improve on any rough edges over time."

"Came here on a weekday afternoon. Lots of take outs but it was just me inside the store. Since it was the first time coming to this place, I asked the young lady at the cashier for recommendation and she suggested the southern bird combo which was what I ordered. I sat outside and the lady brought the food. The sandwich tasted good overall, the chicken had a crisp and crunch to it, very well seasoned. The meal came with fries and they were also good. The portion was big and filling. The only thing that I did not like was that the chicken and fries seemed/tasted a bit greasy?! The young lady at the cashier, Star was very nice and pleasant to talk to. She even gave me a complementary drink (half lemonade half iced tea) which was sweet and refreshing."

"Came on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed the Mac and cheese and their bird fries. I got the Nashville hot and he got the southern style. Both flavorful and delicious!"
