“I’m biased - since 2016, it’s become my place to go to unwind and relax, converse with friends, drink a SnakeHandler or Margarita (freshly squeezed limes - no mix) and try to decide if I’m eating healthy or not 😁 Between the amazing bone-in fried chicken, sweet-heat wings, Delta tamales or am I getting a shrimp plate or chicken salad that’s grilled 🤔… it’s all so good and hard to decide! All the chicken is made fresh from order, so don’t expect that 3-piece snack to be ready in 5min - get something to drink and chill because it’ll take 20min to prepare. If you want quick, the tamales is the way! The owners and staff are super nice and fun to talk with, so if you’ve never been, I highly recommend stopping by to see what it’s all about!“

“First time visiting Ashley Mac’s Kitchen and I will definitely be back. My sister recommended the trio with chicken salad, mandarin orange salad, and Baby Bleu, and everything was absolutely amazing. The food was fresh, flavorful, and honestly out of this world. The portions were great, the service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a clean, welcoming atmosphere. I had a great experience from start to finish and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious lunch.“

“generally we had a good experience. food was good. the new York strip steak was surprisingly good, cooked right, juicy and well seasoned. Madison was terrific service wise. I did note a number of deficiencies at the management level. we had to wait about 10 min. for my wife's decaf coffee, none was ready. also had to wait until almost the end of our dinner for biscuits, none were ready on time. I was very disappointed that the only sugar free drink options were Coke Zero and sugar free Coke. there were sprite and Dr. Pepper available, but not sugar free. used to have sugar free bottled root beer, but no longer. also used to have NSA apple pie, but no longer and no other options. all of these things mean a lot to a diabetic. Madison tried her best and did great, especially when my Coke Zero had a strange taste to it, she got me a sugar free right away. CB has succeeded in removing a lot of the reasons I ate there. you'll always have my wife because of the biscuits, unless your kitchen organizer doesn't have them on hand.“
