We wanted the chicken special they did not have anymore chicken. We wanted yams for hey didn’t have any more. We got smoke wings they were ok came with greens they were dry with no flavor. Mac dry I added ketchup! They didn’t bring cornbread we had to ask. At this point we were ready to go. Ordered a soda took so long the man forgot. Then received a can of soda with a glass of ice smh for price and pay for parking. I would say 50/50 I just would come back.
