★★★★☆ 4.0 sonia garcia · Feb 2026

This place was recommended by a friend. It was very welcoming. Service was great. I wish I could remember her name. We were there yesterday. Chicken was very good and moist not over breaded! Definitely will be going back!

This place was so nice! A very nice atmosphere and great food! They serve chips and salsa while you wait for your food. I tried the chicken strips and fries and I really enjoyed it.

★★★★★ 5.0 Zackery Billhorn · Sep 2025

We got take out on a Sunday evening and really liked it. We got a 3 piece chicken tender and chips, and the Italian beef with steak fries. The chicken strips are thin, but they are delicious. They have good flavor, they aren't dry even with them being a bit thinner, and the breading had a nice crunch. I would order them again. The Italian beef was also good, but didn't have quite as much flavor in comparison to the chicken, but it was still good. Chips and steak fries were also really good. I don't know if the menu said they are seasoned, but they are, and we really liked that. And nothing was excessively greasy. We were impressed. If they can maintain this quality I could see this place becoming pretty popular. Total was $26 and I left a $4 tip. I think it was worth it.

This place has a full salad bar- pleasantly surprised by the options. We got their sat night buffet with chicken and ribs, and the chicken was real good. No complaints on any of it, but you can believe I'll go back just for the salad bar alone and try more of the menu.

Our server Marla was the absolute best! She makes some amazing Bloody Mary’s! And the wings are really good aswell!
