I said yes! to the Chopped Asian salad with grilled chicken. It. Was. Amazing. I could eat that salad every single day. Bravo! My fellow dining mates each had a burger and said they were delicious.“

“Well this was the best chicken nacho I've had in a long time! And a big plate full. My husband's grilled chicken was very juicy and tender with a lot of flavor, the mashed potatoes and green beans were very tasty as well. We also got a bowl of chicken tortilla soup. It was just eh' , mostly broth. The pretzels and beer cheese were great. And we're drinking water next time! Pop was well over $3 each! We figured 2 pops with tip was almost $10, yikes!
It wasn't busy at all, but the service was a little skimpy. Our table didnt seem too important to her. We still left over 20%tip. 🤷‍♀️“
