“Ok, this is one of those places you see on Foodnetwork DD&D!!! I drove passed it, then turned around because I saw they had fish sandwiches. It did NOT disappoint!! It took about 15mins from ordering to out the door! I tore into that bad boy as soon as I got back in my car (they wrapped it as if it was made to be eaten just.like.this)!! SO hot, fresh, tasty and filling! This will be my new errand running meal spot!! I do wish I could call ahead, but they don't have a phone...I get it though, the possibility of a call and no show is real. Maaaay wanna rethink the grocery part, but I'm sure that someone is benefitting from that section too.“

“My family had JD’s today and everything was hot and delicious! My son said the all beef hot dog was BUSSIN! Lol but seriously the whole wings were crispy and flavorful. The macaroni was cheesy and the baked beans were just right (lots of flavor and just enough sweet. We also order some whiting and it was crispy and flavorful. All the staff were welcoming and nice. I wish I took a photo but I was too hungry. Closed Monday and Tuesday FYI. Anywho check them out!“

“Love this new location! The owners are very nice and kind! The staff is fabulous and the chicken salad phenomenal! They opened a little over a week ago and I’ve gone three times including midnight for the grand opening, met some really nice people waiting in line for that. So if you’re hungry for something other than the usual burger and fries, definitely check this place out, they have 12 flavors of chicken salad made fresh daily, either a sandwich or with crackers you can’t go wrong. Located at 4345 W. Dublin-Granville Road in the Shoppes at River Ridge.“
