    Good lord save your money. The girl was very patient since it was our first time. We ordered. Waited, waited and waited for our food. I kept noticing food being placed on the counter. But just sitting there. All orders for take out were getting filled. Over 10 mins later we finally got called. All of our food was cold. Hard bread for sandwiches. Fries cold. Yuck!! Spent $60. Nothing even service wasn't worth this much. And we drove over half hr to try this.

    I went here for lunch today to try. First of, the chicken is yummy with the chicken not dry. The fries are perfectly salty to where you don't need the sauce to make it better. I love the ice too, best kind of ice. However, if you have sensory issues bring headphones and your own hand soap. It's a little noisy and there is a high pitched noise which didn't feel good to my ears. I also recommend bringing your own hand soap in case you use the bathroom because the soap in there feels like snot that you're rubbing on your hands which is really not pleasing for someone with sensory issues. It's rather expensive for one person. I wouldn't go here all the time, but for some chicken tenders and good ice I would come back. Also I really like that there's paper towel rolls for the napkins, just like home, but I'm worried I'm going to accidentally get something on them if there's a time where you end up with messier food and didn't grab enough napkins before. Everyone is pretty nice and informative. Will come again.

    While not quite the same as the first in Vegas when it had first opened up, big chicken gets me salivating until the sweet moment of absolution when I take that first chomp.

    If you told me a chain restaurant would be one of my favorite spots in Tacoma a year ago I would've laughed. Probably the best chicken strips in the city.
