Absolutely love this place. The food was excellent (BLT w/ fries & fries were insanely crispy and hot), the music was a flashback to the 2000s and couldn’t help but sing along like a weird person. I also loved how they have mayo on the table with ketchup to cater to everyone’s tastes. I will 100% be back and giving them my money. Well done guys!

I was surprised that the kitchen staff was handling ready to eat food with their bare hands! No gloves no tongs were used when handling ready to serve french fries, buns and cooked chicken. Not to mention cross contamination going from French fries to placing chicken on a bun handled bare handed by another employee. I read the safe food guidelines for the state / parish. And all ready to eat foods must be handled with gloves or tongs. Food quality was average. We met a friend...

A friend recommended this place to us. We gave it a try and we’ve already been twice in one week! The fried green tomatoes were the best I’ve ever had. All the fried food was spectacular. The burgers are amazing!
