“Nice and tasty food, good customer service“

“The food is the best in the area!!“

“Popeyes never fails when it comes to tasty chicken. The flavor is always great and the honey biscuits are one of my favorite things on the menu—always delicious.

Sometimes the chicken breasts can be big or small, so the size isn’t always consistent, but overall the food is still really good and satisfying. Definitely a solid spot when you’re craving fried chicken. 🍗🍯“

“Una queja de atención por llamada, es una chica. No atiende bien, no tiene paciencia y te habla mal. Después rico el chairs y Chijaukai. Siempre como ahí pero por llamada ya ni más. Deberían contratar a otra chica para llamada.“

“I had an amazing experience with KB Smokehouse! The service is always great, and the food is absolutely delicious. Ariel, the receptionist, is the sweetest—so kind, professional, and understanding. I had ordered a catfish platter via Uber Eats, and unfortunately, the fish wasn’t fully cooked through. It was late, and since the restaurant was close to closing and I was still at work, I couldn’t go back in person.

I called the restaurant, and Ariel picked up. After I explained the situation, she handled everything with such care and made sure the issue was resolved quickly. Her customer service alone deserves a 10/10.

As for the food—it’s amazing! Their catfish platter is one of my favorites, and their prices are very reasonable. Overall, KB Smokehouse has definitely gained a loyal new customer. I absolutely love this place!“
