We loved the cozy vibe of the place and our server was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, the ramen left a lot to be desired. I ordered the miso ramen and the broth was honestly like drinking water, completely bland and with almost no flavor. I tried the ramen my friends ordered as well, and unfortunately, none of them had much flavor either. The shoyu had the most flavor out of the ones we tried, but even that one was still missing something. Our server was amazing, though. She offered to change my bowl, but since I had already tried the other ramen options, I decided to keep it. She brought me soy sauce and spicy oil, which definitely helped. I also tried the pork gyozas and unfortunately they weren't the best I've had. I probably wouldn't come back for the food, but I'd definitely stop by for a beer if I'm in the area. They had some really interesting options and they were nice and cold!

We were on their bottom floor patio (which was lovely) but I did spy that they have a rooftop patio as well (what's not to love?!?). Everything from the food to the cocktails to the service was exemplary. For my cocktail I got their Old Colonel's Smoking Gun which was their twist on an old fashioned and was delightful. For my entree, I got their salmon entree. It's glazed and comes with a size of their crispy brussels and cheesy grits. The brussels were delish and their cheesy grits rank among some of the best I've had with sharp cheddar giving them the perfect flavor kick. The atmosphere was so pleasant. It's definitely the sort of spot you'll feel tempted to linger. Get to it!

But for real the customer service was amazing the guy taking the orders was friendly the guy cooking was amazing as well, they were slow the food came out fast I got the og combo they used 2 chicken tenders for each sandwich one of my tenders was dry and the other one was juicy you can tell it was sitting for a little bit of time the fries on the other hand were fried fresh so they were on point all in all 6 out of 10 on the og. The buffalo mac and cheese combo was better both pieces of chicken tenders were juicy and had a nice little kick so this one was 8 out of 10. Because it's inside a Walmart may be the reason they are slow but they should really do all sandwiches to order meaning they should fry it to order once they are more busy then start doing a few more pieces at a time.

Sandwich was pretty tasty and very filling and the other thing in the bag was the Loaded Fries that had the crispy chicken on top and I'm thinking melted cheese, scallions and bacon crumbles. This was ok but it probably would have been better if eaten there and hot. I had wanted to try the Chicken Guy just to see how it was in comparison to all the other chain chicken places and the food is decent comparatively but from what I've heard from others and this experience I do think that they probably could use better service.

That's a solid amount of food for $7.99. No complaints there. And listen... I REALLY wanted to try that peach cobbler roll. TikTok has been hyping it up like crazy. The app said my order would be ready in five minutes and that I could head to the drive thru. I pulled up in exactly five minutes, and my food was ready. Hot and fresh. Love that for me. The fish sandwich was good (though I probably should've added cheese). The fries? Always on point. The mozzarella sticks had that satisfying cheese pull we all hope for. And that peach cobbler roll? Whew. So good. Like... actually good. I'm glad I got to try it. Now let's talk about the Diet Dr Pepper. It was crispy and very fizzy, no issues there. I only gave it another shot because of that girl on TikTok who made up a whole jingle about Dr Pepper. After a few sips, I remembered why I'm not really a fan. But that had nothing to do with Arby's , it was not flat. The server at the window was friendly, and there were no cars in the drive thru, so I didn't have to wait at all. I hadn't been to Arby's in over a year, but this $7.99 box brought me back. So when people ask, "Who is keeping Arby's in business?" It's me. I'm people. Their food is always on point. Plenty of parking outside. Not too busy.
