“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“Hell yes! It’s absolutely delicious!“

“This is the second year we’ve gotten your Thanksgiving dinner, specifically the Son of a Feast for my husband and I. Easily 6+ servings. Absolutely phenomenal! There was not a single thing that I thought was “meh” and the green beans were amazing, much improved since last year. We will continue to get these holiday dinners as long as you offer them! Can’t wait for Christmas!“

“My entire family devoured our food. We were comatose afterwards. We ordered rib tips, turkey, brisket, & half chicken. The meat was so good & tender. Baked beans were surprisingly delicious as well. However, $25 pp, complimentary cornbread would have been appreciated. Lasrly, the Mac & cheese was bland but edible.“

“We ordered a Thanksgiving catering package for our Black Friday get-together and everything was delicious, but the smoked turkey breast stole the show! The food was still hot even by the time we got it home and set up. The server there at 2pm when I picked up was very kind and helpful as well! We will definitely be back!

Parking: Patio is dog friendly“

“I enjoyed the brisket and green beans; however, I didn't care for the Bama chicken. The restaurant was nice and clean. They offered several different bbq sauces, which was nice. The person who waited on us was efficient but not very friendly.“

“Everything was perfect!“

“Went there on 6/22/22. We ate outside and were pleased to have a musician playing on the patio. The food was excellent as was the service. Bring your appetite and still expect to take home leftovers. Classic menu of steaks, chops, sandwiches and top notch BBQ. This will be a mainstay for us moving forward. Can't recommend this place enough!“

“Did you miss the crunchy, crispy, juicy bbq.chicken provided by excellent chef and staff?.. Not anymore. Just try this place.
Excellent food, homemade desserts , amazing customer service!!! Thank you for your hard work and wish you all the best!“

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).“

“Great food the gyros was amazing I think the New owner is doing a great job taking care the place“

“10/10 will come back next year.“

“I drove past this place for the last 16 years always meaning to try the chicken. Well today I did and I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was delicious, so moist and crispy outside. Yes please. I got a 2 piece meal. Come with 2 sides and a biscuit. It was under 8.00. You just can’t beat that. And they have a drive thru!?! 16 years wasted. Now I know.“

“great place to eat, very good service and very large portions. loved it here“
