★★★★☆ 4.0 Sarah Kelley · Oct 2025

The guy who took our order was super nice and Informative, it was our first time there! Food came out quickly ans hot. I'm not sure if it was the seasoning, but the chicken had a weird texture to it, just on the outside. So I wasn't the biggest fan The fries and pickles were great!

Great atmosphere and location. The environment is very colorful and staff was friendly. This was my first time visiting, as I wanted to try the Fallout meal. Food looked amazing. I ordered mild and the chicken was coated well, fries were seasoned nicely too. When I tried the chicken, I was disappointed as there was wayyy too much flavor happening. I feel it’s the equivalent of mixing every spice in your cabinets together. The fries were excellent though. May have to order a different flavor next time. Just was overloaded with spice this time.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lucas Mayer · Sep 2025

I don't think the slider is worth it, just get the tenders, save the carbs. Bread wasn't anything special, pickles were just alright, but the sauce was pretty good. The tenders were super - juicy and soft with a nice crisp on the outside. It wasn't burnt or dry, and the medium heat seasoning was really delicious. Shout out to the cooks in the back, this is some good chicken! The lady working in front was nice and overall the store was clean and modern. Gonna come back again try the spicier options to see which spice level has the best flavor profile. So far I've only tried medium, which to me was mild and pleasant - a hint of spice without outright burning your tongue - would recommend.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Julie David-Jones · Dec 2025

First of all, this is a fast food establishment and nothing more. We went to the counter and ordered our food then retrieved our food when our order number was yelled. We cleaned our table before we could sit to eat and discarded the trash left behind from others. One cashier on a Saturday night is just insanity to me. The lobby is trashed from the floors to the tables. The fountain drink area, just a wreck as well with wasted products left behind. The trash cans were overflowing so badly that our trash was only able to sit atop the trash unit. And the first thing you see when paying at this establishment is Gratuity percentages. 15% and on up. They were so busy with a bus load of middle schoolers behind me that I didn’t even have a second to process if I wanted to leave a tip or not. And

The food is good but come on, we’re talking about chicken fingers and crinkle fries. Heather at the front was very nice and knew it was out first time there and was helpful and polite. I paid by card and it immediately asks to provide a tip. I HATE that. It automatically makes me not want to leave a tip since it’s not like there is waitress or someone refilling my tea. (I gave a couple of bucks anyway since Heather was so nice. The atmosphere? Well we stood with other folks waiting on a table to sit at until our food was ready. I will say this about the atmosphere, at least they weren’t playing Christmas music like every other store!
