“Got to experience this restaurant today and it was absolutely amazing! I had never tried a chicken salad sandwich before but when meeting the manager I decided to give it a try, Patrick was super friendly and puts a lot of work and passion into the restaurant and customer service but my food was so good! Such a relief from other fast food restaurants that I’ve tried especially in Jacksonville + I felt full, and good after I ate! So glad I found it, will definitely be going here again often!“

“I placed a to-go order on the app and apparently ordered it twice. My server, Corinthia was very observant and brought it to my attention immediately. We got the issue corrected and I was still able to enjoy my order! She is a very pleasant server who presents very helpful and with a smile EVERY time she waits on me!“
