The chicken quality here is excellent and the staff is very friendly. However, for a single person meal priced at $26, including a beer, the side portions were disappointingly small – barely half full. While I understand inflation's impact, the value per buck, considering the skimpy portions, felt a bit off.

It was our first time here and Im glad we stopped in. Great service and awesome food. The medium sauce was excellent on the chicken sandwich with avocado and pineapple.

Our kiddo loved the grilled cheese that was on a Portuguese roll.

We bought the sauce. Will come back.

Service was pretty fast which was nice. I got one of the Peri-Peri bowls and it was pretty good, though I wish the piece of chicken 🍗 was a bit bigger (mine was kind of small). They did have a wide selection of sauces, though, which I enjoyed a lot. Prices 💰 were reasonable and it was a good meal overall.
