- BWBrandon WilkinsonNov 8, 20255.0Tried this place out for the first time today and my family and I absolutely love this place. The chicken was amazing and their fries are probably my favorite out of anywhere else. Also, the hangry sauce is so good! The guy running the register was really nice and very helpful. We will definitely return.

Went back today at 130 and the open sign is on. Pulled on door it was locked the team member inside was wiping tables. We left and seen another team member walking down from the restaurants thru the store.

What’s the difference between a “Chicken Sando” and a “Mega Sando”?
The “Chicken Sando” is our classic chicken sandwich, featuring two crispy chicken fingers on a bun with your choice of toppings and sauces.
The “Mega Sando**, on the other hand, takes it up a notch! It includes a mega crispy 8 oz chicken breast but is generously slathered with our signature Hangry Sauce and topped with fresh slaw and pickles, making it a bit more loaded and messier to enjoy!
If you're in the mood for something extra saucy and flavorful, the Mega Sando is the way to go! 🍗🥪🔥
