There is a long wait for the food. The person standing at the front does not call out the names as orders become ready. So your food is sitting in the window and you have to return to the desk to ask them each time. Is your food ready. I don’t understand why he doesn’t call out the names as the food becomes available. Customers would like to have their food hot. And by doing that you’re causing more people to congregate at the front desk. The people waiting to order the people waiting for their food and the people who have to keep coming back to ask if the food is ready. Nobody wants to eat cold fries.

A small hole in the wall place with limited outdoor sitting, serving spicy dishes. We ordered a Take Away, they did not pack a part of the order and we check after reaching home. You may try for once.

🍗 🍞 🥒 Simply delicious fried chicken sandwiches here, big chunks of chicken, tasty pickle, and your choice of spice level. There’s limited seating so it’s perfect as a to go option. Around lunchtime it can get busy so it’s good to order ahead online.
It was so good I forgot to take a photo until after the first bite. That is how you know it’s good.
Low-key and casual. The chicken waffles are really good!

These ratings are for counter serve fast food with outdoor seating.
The food is great. I've had a chicken sandwich (hot) chicken and waffles (medium hot) and they were both great. The chicken is juicy and tender and the spice has a good flavor.
Service is friendly, attentive, and pretty fast.
Atmosphere - I really wish I could eat the waffles on a plate with a fork. The outside tables can get a bit grimy, it can be windy. It can even rain. It's not ideal.
But I got back. The food is good.

Visiting from out of town, the gentleman who took our order was charismatic funny and welcoming! Out of all the restaurants I've visited, I've never felt more at home. I had the hot tender sando and when I say it was it was Definitely HOT! 🔥 🥵. BUT DELICIOUS!! 10/10 would recommend!

Had the pleasure of being serviced by Angel. Fries and chicken sandwhich are solid. The decor gives the place a vibrant old school quirky vibe. Free city street parking after 6pm(?)

The food is excellent. I had ordered the dark meat bone in but they had run out of dark meat and instead provided the white meat bone in instead. I was confused until I was able to clarify the reason for the discrepancy. The white meat was excellent, perfectly cooked and juicy.
