Overall good experience, when I got there I was waiting for someone else, and the employees were nice. It was super slow (only 2 families) at 5 pm which was slightly surprising. I ordered the classic tender meal with fries and got the extra toast on the side with the og slim sauce. 4.5/5 exp!

Reasonably priced to a bit higher, but the food was hot, fresh and tasted good. The seating left a bit to be desired. Inside was noisy with a lot of kids running around. We sat outside and enjoyed the food and weather.

I've been to multiple locations in several states and only Chick Fa La and Raising Canes are as consistent.
Really like having multiple side dish options.
