  I’m from Kansas City and I came all the way to Chicago for a concert and after the concert I was looking for a place to eat, and I found out that this place was still open. I went in there and the environment was pretty nice. It was laid-back. The menu was good with a bunch of different selections and What’s the family got my food I drove back to my hotel room and my food was still hot and ready when I got there The chicken melts in your mouth as soon as you take a bite probably the best chicken I’ve had since I’ve been down here. Would definitely recommend.

  To put it simply, it's a nice chicken spot where the fried chicken is the reason you'd stop. I got mild sauce and although in terms of mild it had no kick, it wasn't as desirable as the internet made it seem. If you stop here, I'd suggest to get the chicken of course but any sauce you order, get it on the side as it's not palatable for everyone. When I return I need their fried chicken with some tried and true as well as the best hot sauce in the planet Tobasco. I will be back.

  I ordered the fish expecting something fresh and flavorful, but it was a huge disappointment. The smell hit me right away—strong, unpleasant, and definitely not what you want from a seafood dish. The taste was even worse. It had an overpowering, “fishy” flavor that made it hard to take more than a couple of bites. Fresh fish should be mild and clean-tasting, not something that makes you question how long it’s been sitting around. The texture didn’t help either—it felt off and didn’t seem properly prepared. Overall, it tasted old, poorly handled, and completely unappetizing. I wouldn’t recommend this place for fish at all. If you’re craving seafood, you’re better off going somewhere that actually serves fresh, properly cooked dishes.
