I was extremely disappointed with my experience here. The chicken tasted like it was fried in very old, reused grease, and the smell was honestly off-putting,almost rancid. It was noticeable the moment the food was served and made it difficult to eat. Fresh oil and basic food quality standards are essential, especially when serving fried food, and this place missed the mark completely. I won’t be returning and would not recommend it unless major improvements are made.

BE AWARE!! Im not sure how this place is still in business. First time eating here and it was horrible. I may have to contact the health department for a check-in. It took soooo long for the food so we assumed it would be good. NO! The food is cooked in old grease. It was burnt and very oily, so nasty. The Texas toast smelled like a cleaner, which is alarming. I paid a ridiculous amount of money just to throw it away. Please Please Please take your business elsewhere.
Ok let’s dive deeper, since the terrible manager response. I live an hour away so there was no way I was bringing the food back. I was not greeted upon entering and the menu was not explained to me. I was ignored. Overall my experience with your restaurant was terrible. Yes, I paid $80 for a family meal to go in the trash!! Own up to your restaurant not being up to par. We’ll see if it is what you say about being up to health codes……

Perfect place if you crave Hit Nashville Chicken. Sandwich is so big and delicious you need 2 hands. You wouldn't want to miss out on any morsel. The loaded fries are....very loaded with hot juicy chicken smothered the signature waffle fries. They add jalapenos and cheese and their signature sauce that makes it difficult for even the hardest appetite to finish. It's our go to place for Hot Chicken.
