There’s a reason this place is going out of business. The ice cream tables are kept at -18 when rolled ice cream is supposed to frozen to -25 because it won’t freeze right and it’s soup before you have a chance to finish it. I’ve had rolled ice cream in Salina before and it was cold enough that it was still pretty frozen by the time I was done with it even though I’m a slow eater. As for the chicken, it’s always way overcooked because there’s no consistency to the size. The strips are between 1-3 oz and every piece is cooked long enough to fully cook the biggest strip. All of the smaller ones are really dry. And they only use 1 oz of salt for 10 lbs of chicken. That’s the only seasoning. Also, most card tips get kept by the owner. He can legally take them for any reason so if anything isn’t up to their standards, they steal tips from the employees. The employees are all really nice except the manager, Dee. I saw her being rude to a customer one time for absolutely no reason. He asked why you have to pay separately for sauces if you order a la carte chicken and she told him he needed to take that up with the owner because she’s not the one who made that rule. She said it with a lot of attitude. She also told me when someone from DSNWK applied that she wouldn’t get hired specifically because she’s from DSNWK and apparently she tried to hire one of “those people” before and it didn’t go well. So clearly all severely disabled people are the same.Kid-friendliness: Not kid-friendly because the food is gross and the manager is mean

The place looked cute but their chicken is bland, ridiculously overcooked, and far too expensive for the quality of the food. I definitely prefer overcooked to undercooked chicken but at least season it so it actually tastes good. The rolled ice cream was slightly less disappointing but it was still way sweeter than any rolled ice cream I've ever had and it had an odd chemical-y taste that just made it off putting. A complete waste of $60 I could've gone to Popeyes and gotten way better food for half the price.

Not really sure why this place has so many good reviews. Food doesn’t taste seasoned at all, chicken is dry, and it’s way too expensive for the quality of the food. Place is cute, could be good if they actually knew how to season and cook food.

We ordered a 25 piece chicken and overall the chicken was great! There were a few pieces that were overcooked, they made it right with us right away and we are very happy with how they handled our order, keep it up!!

First time visit. The chicken strip combo came out hot, juicy, and very generous in size. Waffle fries nicely seasoned. Called in the order, and they almost had it ready when I showed up, so I knew it was fresh.

$60.00 for 16 chicken strips, fries,and small drinks. It was way too expensive. We could have had (3) delicous steak dinners at thristys for $60.00. The food was good but not $60.00 good.

Chicken is pretty good, really hot and juicy. Fries are pretty bland. Ranch is excellent. Biscuits need to be warmed up before served. Parking is limited. Prices are high. Smells like grease inside and kind of quirky decoration. I definitely like the chicken better than Popeyes tenders.

Chicken strips fresh , big and on point. Home made ranch excellent. Service was positive and who cares if the ambiance is a " kids room " lol In town last weekend for X-Country meet will eat here again the next time in town.

This was a last second decisionI am so glad we stopped. Alot of food for the price. The staff was super nice. We had the 4 piece stips and split it. It was like having a full chicken breast each

Basic menu done well. Portions are large. While it did take a while to get our food, knowing it was cooked to order made it worth the wait. The white gravy is the way to go for sauce. The chairs are a little uncomfortable because they're hard metal and most are high tops, and it can get a little noisy when they're busy, but the food is worth the stop.Parking: Getting in and out of the parking space can be difficult.

Wow. Had them for the first time yesterday and as much as I love chicken, Can't say I'm just a chicken strips guy. I've changed my mind. Exceptional chicken. Juicy, tasty and crunchy at the same time, even without sauce. Delicious. Would totally recommend.
