My son and I went by a few days ago and he got the real hot which was almost more than he could handle, and I got the Gangnam Style They were both in the service and that was excellent as well in a very nice atmosphere

Chicken was good. Service needs a little work. We ordered meals and they gave us child cups. We didn’t know until we started looking around and everyone had adult size lol. They did fix it after I asked about it.
