We arrived around 1130am. It wasn't busy and Only 3 tables were taken Ordered fried cauliflower which was amazing and cheese fries that had maybe a tsp of cheese in the middle of the fries. I was not impressed. We waited for over 20 minutes for our food. I will give it another chance at some point but won't make a special trip as we did this time.

They won't let you use the bathroom without being a customer, that's okay. They don't have to worry about me doing neither! Chicken dryer than it was when I first tasted it anyway!

The chicken was dry and the spice was too loaded on there it was very dusty. There was no ranch. It was very expensive for small quantities of the food.

I have been wanting to try this place. today. we went for lunch. I liked the menu. it was very simple and I like the fact that we could order different levels of heat. we ordered something very simple. we both got two chicken tenders with medium heat with macaroni and cheese. this also came with some kind of sauce and some pickles and two slices of white bread. The macaroni and cheese was kind of gross. there is like no effort. The white bread showed no effort. The sauce was nasty and tasteless. the chicken was tender and g... read more

If I could rate a zero I would. Food isn't that great. General Manager was so unprofessional. Not very good experience at all.

Not sure what the hype is all about . If this is it then I was left confused. Dry tenders with dry rub. It was so underwhelming. I would go to Orlando or another city to try this again because it was not worth $19 and the drink isn't even included. I downloaded the app and got a free drink. The sauce tasted like mayo ketchup and was so bland. The meal needed something to elevate it because it was just one note. The cheese fries weren't generous on the cheese part. I don't mind the rub situation on the tenders but at least ha... read more

Was excited to try this place since it is new. Prepare yourself. I think for how expensive this chicken is, they can't compete with the other chicken places around the area. I got a #3 and was hoping it was going to be good... then I saw it was fried chicken with dry rub on it. Sure if you like choking on spicy dust then this place would be great for you. I liked their fries but it's hard to mess up fries unless you are McDonald's. The pickles was the best part! If you like eating jars of mayo then the Dave sauce is also... ... read more
