The pulled chicken is very good. I wanted no salt on my fries, and they had to redo them, but they did so with a smile.

OMG! Everything was so delicious!!! It was fresh and not soggy at all! The flavors on each dish was amazing! Bang bang chicken, Nashville chicken, the burger thing ... wow!

It was good chicken and fries. There was a lady who was sort of blocking the window from the outside who was thinking about what she wanted. When I went around her because my phone showed my order was ready I heard her acting like I had cut her. Like I had to ask her permission to try to pick up a take out order. So that was annoying.

Maybe a different sauce on the fajita chicken wrap. The portion and food quality was very good. The okra was wonderful.

The bottom bun where the meat was put on top of was completely mush. Had to just eat it with a fork but it was very tasty!

Food was pretty good. People seemed to like the BBQ nachos. The wait time was a little long.
