“ I didn't go to the store, I got it through door dash. I was very disappointed in having ordered two medium drinks and being brought one medium drink and a can drink.. I was honestly pretty disappointed. I feel like they should have given some warning they only had the diet coke in a can.. the food was pretty good though. ”
“ Food was very very good! I got the 10 pc wing w fries and a cheesecake and donut bites for my boys! The wings were so good and sauced very well! I went to order ranch and the blonde woman said “I got you on ranch” when our order came up the lady opened our plates to Check them in front of us and asked if we wanted seasoning. Atmosphere was weird but everyone was so nice. ”
“ Me and my wife ate here today. I grew up in Atlanta and these wings reminded me of home super good very crispy and they do not skimp on the ranch great atmosphere cool employees highly recommend 10 out of 10. will definitely be eating here again. Also, the price was relatively decent. ”
“ I got a 10-pc. hot honey lemon pepper, extra wet like it just left the club. All flats, because I got standards. Came with a side of okra and a piece of that Black Cajun catfish that tasted like it was baptized in flavor and raised by aunties who don’t play in the kitchen. The fish? Seasoned to perfection, not crispy-crunchy disrespectful. The okra? Tender, not slimy. And them wings? So wet they might need a towel. Just how I like it. Don’t talk to me.. I’m in a committed relationship with this plate. ”
“ Food and service is Awesome! The area is a little suspect especially at night if you're not from that area. Nothing bad, just can be a little awkward if you're an out of towner. ”
