    Love this place. Nice pepole, orders always right. Food is filling and tast good. The onion rings batter tast like birthday cake thougj, didnt mind that. Get the app, can save cash, and you can order online and pick it up super easy. They have a bathroom but you got ti ask for key. They got inddor seating and a drive through. Also saw a few outdoor seating as a bonus.

    Forgot the redbull in my dragon fruit redbull refresher. Tastes like straight up soda water. $6 for a medium. :(

    Visited this location for the first time and was not impressed. I ordered the most expensive item on the menu, the double patty burger with bacon. The burger, with only one strip of bacon, was very greasy and had no pickles, relish, mustard, or ketchup, so it tasted like eating beef and cheese only. The chicken bites, although expensive, were pretty good. Very overpriced establishment, and I would not recommend or return.
