Honestly love coming here! My husband and I barely found out about this place about 3 months ago and we are hooked! Service is always good, one thing I noticed is the restroom is always very clean so that definitely adds a star! Food is very fresh tasting, I think they have some of the best wings I’ve ever had, especially the bbq flavor. I also like how they have appetizers, I haven’t tried them all yet but the fried pickles were really good! The portions are pretty good for the price. This place is good if you want restaurant quality food but at a fast food pace. Definitely would recommend giving them a try!

Got the 5 & 5 meal and a side of fried mushrooms. 10/10! Food was all hot, super fresh, and tasted amazing. We always get Ranch &Cayenne Ranch, but they have tons of sauces to choose from. Sweet tea is on point. I only wish there was one closer to my house.
