The fried catfish. I only wish you would have added more packets of tartar sauce. I ended up having to use some cocktail sauce that I had.

To be honest I was kinda skeptical because of how expensive the burger alone seems but the food is totally worth it! Best burger I’ve had in a while! They are thinner patties but all of the flavors work so well together, and the fries are nice and fresh and crispy as well!

The unique option's were delightful. The sauces were yummy, but would have been better if they filled the little cups.
