    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the 6-chicken finger basket with onion rings today and it absolutely hit the spot. The chicken fingers were hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, with juicy meat inside and a great crunch on the outside. The portion size was generous and filling. The onion rings were outstanding — golden, crunchy, and not greasy at all. You can tell they were cooked fresh and with care. Everything came out hot, fast, and exactly how comfort food should be. Simple, well-executed, and satisfying. I’d order this meal again without hesitation. Highly recommend if you’re craving a solid chicken basket done right. 👌

    The lady that took our order, nit friendly at all. No smile, no thank you or come again. Seemed pissed off at the world.

    We placed our dinner order which included "Sundies" and ask to hold off making "Sundies" until we finished our meals, the guy taking our orders said "ok" but our ice creams were made right then so they could melt while we ate our meal. Told them No we did not want them before our meal and she put them in the freezer waiting on us to ask for them. I just don't feel that they were fresh.
