Chicken is a little dry for my liking. Everything is so fast-paced that they lack a personalized experience. I understand it's fast food, but you can take a little time while interacting with customers to make people feel welcomed and appreciated, especially when money is being spent. None of the workers seem to be working in a pleasant environment.

I really do like your restaurant but the recent price hikes make it impossible to continue to patronize your business. $13 for a chicken salad just is not feasible. $14 for 2 pieces of chicken isn't any better. As history has shown, prices rarely go down, so I will have to bid you farewell. Maybe if I get a coupon I can once again afford your delicious eats.??

This was honestly a pretty awesome placethe food was super fast af ? like I order a 12 price meal and it was out in 3 mins It was a lot of food for only 40 sum dollars it was great it was a Lil dirty but they were cleaning it on my way out ... as for the food, the rice and beans needed seasoning, but the chicken was great
