I made an online order. The chicken wasn't as hot as advertised. I had the 2nd to hottest setting. The customer service people initially didn't acknowledge me, then just awkwardly handed my order. Sorry to put you out, guys.

The single blandest mac and cheese I've ever had in my life. If you're in a space where you're competing with Popeye's and KFC your mac and cheese needs to be on par. The chicken was ok. I had "hot" and it tingled a bit. It was strangely sweet. Not a fan of the kale slaw at all but I'm not a coleslaw person. Overall for me it's not worth the price point. Other chicken places have better sides and better chicken at a better price.

What in the world did I just eat lol! Got the small to try --Chicken was dry with white wonder bread & pickles. husband's fries bland tasted like high school cafeteria frozen style. If I want fast food chicken next time, I'll just go to Central Ave or where my dad used to work KFC and Popeyes. Or any of the Asian spots that sell fried chicken. What does Thomas Keller have to do with this? Lol

They get O stars from me, I waited 50 minutes for overpriced, over-seasoned chicken and french fries that tasted like lard (old oil) I spent almost 460 dollars for my family and it was awful. I waited for 50 minutes with many other angry customers, while my parents waited in the car in the parking lot for me and witnessed several employees going out the back door taking turns getting high. Great customer service and quality. You should be ashamed...I was truly appalled and robbed too!

Arrived at 2:20 and left at 3PM for a take out order. I ordered the Dave #3 combo. I understand it is a busy spot but over 20 minutes for fast food is a little insane. There are deli's that work faster than that. Not to mention they seem to think salt = flavor. The food was HEAVILY salted to the point it was almost impossible to eat. It's a cool spot, but the lack of urgency for customers and the heavy salting is a no for me. Won't be back.
