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...

Review is for the new Scotts Valley location. Overpriced and not delivering the value for the price point. Food was okay but not great. Spicy chicken sandwich wasn't spicy at all. Onion rings we're underdone and soggy. Waffle fries were what you might expect for fried previously frozen potatoes.$25-30 per person for a fried fast food "combo meal" is way out of touch with current economic conditions. No tables, cold white space.
