Dining experience was great! I like the food, the restaurant the service highly recommended my take away bbq spicy sauce restaurant newly and clean.

Ordered food through the drive thru and when I got home, our chicken wasnt tossed in the buffalo sauce for our Mac bowls. Bridget, the manager was so kind and made sure we could get free entrees next time or she'd remake our entire order. These are the type of employees that need positive reinforcement for doing a great job and turning a not so good experience into a positive. The eagerness of all the employees here to help and provide a good experience is something to be proud of as an owner/manager. Keep up the good work!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Kalab Sidlinger · Feb 2026

Great fast food place to eat. I come once to twice a week. The menu has enough variety to get something different and mix it up. Lots of customizations can be made too. The staff is always friendly and if something goes wrong, they are quick and eager to fix it.

Food was way too salty… except for the chicken sandwich, which somehow had zero flavor. Dry, bland, and definitely not worth it (but hey, that’s what the fries are for, right? 😂). I ordered the 5-piece chicken tender meal and only got 4 tenders — and yes, I was still hungry. I called to let them know, and they told me to drive back to pick up a single tender or they’d refund me for just one tender. Seriously? That’s what passes for customer service now? 😂😂

Some of the nastiest chicken I’ve ever had. The chicken “strips” were the size of my toddlers hand. He wouldn’t even swallow his chicken, it was that bad. My husband and I were both desperate and hungry so we ate ours like idiots and are both now majorly regretting our decision at 3am on the toilet. The chicken is rubbery/slimy, the fries are too salty and were cold. The only decent thing was their cherry dessert. Do yourself a favor and go to Raising Cane’s instead.
