- JKJulie KimDec 21, 20255.0Loved our Sunday night fried chicken dinner! The portions are enormous and it fed all of us for several days, lol! The pizza bread and dipping oil was sooo good!!! Our server was terrific even though the restaurant was completely packed with holiday guests. Highly recommend!! Too bad we're not locals. Otherwise we'd definitely be regulars!!
