The best chicken I have ever had in my life! I want to give a big shout out to Elisa for always being so attentive with her on pointe customer service. The flavoring of the chicken beats Porto's just more authentic home made. There is so much more on the menu I want to try but haven't even gotten around to it. My decision to move to Bakersfield was influenced by places like this that I found in the city. Love this place!

The chicken there is completely overpriced and it’s not even that good, it was very dry and had no seasoning. I ordered a hot link as well and it was cold. Completely overrated.

The place is small, but the food is delicious, the only thing was that the ribs came with very little meat and were a little burnt, but the chicken and Caesar salad are delicious.

I absolutely love this place!! It is by far one of the most delicious foods out there. Joe is simply one of the kindest and sweetest owners I have come across. He is professional, has an incredible attitude and is amazing. I highly recommend this place for all of your catering needs or to Just sit and enjoy their food inside.
