    AWESOME, friendly staff. A great place to catch up with everyone. Musical bingo on Fridays and karaoke on Saturdays!

    This is my favorite TITS location of the bunch. I've found that service, food quality, and ambiance…read morehere all seem to be a level above the rest. This location sets the bar. For appetizers, we usually always get the wings. They're smoked and then I believe flash fried. Always tasty and tender. The fried pickles are great, too. Having a food allergy can be tough, not here. Virtually anything can be accommodated for, and the managers bring your food over with an allergy alert. For entrees I always get the bbq chicken pizza, or the Cajun pasta. I also LOVE the buffalo mac and cheese, which can feed you for a week. The drinks are very good. The beer menu is huge. I would give this location a 10/10. Always check for see the wait prior to coming. If you're in the area, definitely stop by!

Not offensive, not memorable, just existing on the plate doing its job. The place was pretty packed, but somehow still calm. Lots of people, low murmur, nobody yelling over table noise--basically a small miracle. The beer list is huge, which is great if you like choices, or terrible if you're the kind of person who panics when offered more than two options. All in all, I liked it. Good atmosphere, great broccoli, and enough on the menu that I'd come back. Might even pretend it was my idea.

    Love this place! We've eaten in before, and it's a great space, but this Tuesday was take-out. We…read morewere inspired by their 20% discount on Tuesdays (via a code on the website that you enter when ordering). We had the quinoa bowl which was both healthy and delicious as well as an old favorite, the Chicken Bayou pasta. We added chicken tenders to the quinoa bowl which were a great match. Amazing flavors. Ordering online is easy - just remember to enter that discount code if ordering on Tuesdays (I nearly forgot!). If eating in, there is a ton of parking, plus it's near a nice path you can walk after lunch (cross the footbridge). All around a good experience every time.

It's a chain American restaurant but the food is overall good quality with some standout dishes. Our top favorite dishes from our recent binge were: Korean Crispy Chicken sandwich - Absolutely bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, 10/10, as someone who NEVER orders the same things twice, we got it all three times XD Chicken dumplings - This was a special they are trying out, I hope they keep in on the menu! Super tasty Bang bang broccoli - I'll eat any veggie if you slather it in bang bang sauce and this is no exception. I got The Solstice cocktail which was good, not a top ten cocktail but solid. Prices are around $10 for starters, $15-25 for entrees. The Lowell location has lots of parking. Overall would recommend and would go back.
