I had a OG Fried Chicken sandwich with their fries , they are very generous with their fry servings. It was my first time trying the flash sauce and I couldn’t get enough I had to get my hands on more . The kiddo working there had broke down the options thoroughly and had my food out at a very reasonable time . Great food and Service .

When I saw the sandwiches, I thought they were going to be dry. I was pleasantly surprised at how juicy they were. I really liked the Crisy Fried Mushrooms, which were good, with the buttermilk ranch sauce. The Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich was a little spicer than I expected, but it was still very good.I will say that I did think the food was overpriced.

The workers are super nice and chill. I got the spicy chix sandwich (not too spicy) but was literally delicious. Prices are great! You get what you pay for here. Definitely coming back.

Vegetarian options: The mushroom burger was crispy and juicy. Great seasoning. Super filling!

Parking: You gotta park downtown at the parking structure. Then walk 3 min here!

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Not too loud bot too quiet.

Wheelchair accessibility: There...
