    I ordered the lions mane with mild sauce and there was too much mild sauce. The next time I ordered mild sauce on the side and the nuggets were too salty like someone dumped a bullet of salt on them. I was unable to eat it and had to peel the fried part off. To the cooks, Please try not to be so heavy on the salt. It was a waste of money. Was hoping to be able to enjoy the lions mane both with and without salt but that didn't happen. I also had to add seasoning to the chilli. It needed more chilli powder and salt. Tasted more like a sweet pasta sauce than Chilli. The garlic bread wasn't worth $4 but it was decent. I enjoyed the Oreo shake (no complaints on that end). I have tried other food from them in the past that was better than this. I will still give them 3 stars since their new app, was nice, delivery was fast and it was cheaper than Uber Eats. Hoping to see some improvement and then I would try them again! They used to be so much better so I'm a little disappointed.

    we ordered the pizza puff and Philly cheese steak eggrolls. I ended both but wish the pizza puff came with marinara sauce and not BBQ.

    I have eaten at I can’t believe it’s not meat before. But the food I got today was not good. Went to the Orland Park location and got what used to be the best Patty melt. It was super oily and did not taste good. I hope this was a one time occurrence I can’t afford to spent that amount of money for something to throw away.
