Got the mixed platter with extra sauce and a Smash Burger with potato wedges. The mix platter was pretty good, yellow rice, flavorful chicken and some lamb. The hot sauce has like a Smokey flavor or something, I'll probably ask for it on the side next time but overall it was good. The burger was bomb, the meat had a bit of crisp on it, and the flavors were perfect. Also got the Superman and it was sweet af, I couldn't do it lol but I can see why people like the fruit punch/lemonade mix. Service was outstanding, everyone was nice and attentive. The guy let me try their secret sauce that was also good. It's a small spot so standing room only, order ahead and pick it up, they get packed during rush.

This place is my guilty pleasure out here in the AV. Service is always fast and there is public…read moreparking in the street as well as a lot pretty close by. An odd thing about this place is the menu placement. It will be behind you but in front of the cash register so you'll be turning your backs to them to look at the menu, it's not a big deal but adds a bit of charm. The portions are pretty generous. A single crunch is enough for both lunch and dinner. The crunch is my favorite menu item (not the cheese crunch, which adds nacho cheese). The crunch is basically chicken and other ingredients wrapped up in a flour tortilla, fried with cheese on the outside, and then cut in half. The sandwiches are good too. I've been getting them at the highest spice level, Sassy AF and it is manageable. The sauces help a lot too. If you order out they typically give you a few sauces (one is orange and one is ranch-like), and if you dine in they normally give you 4 squeeze bottles all containing a different sauce. The bottles can get a bit oily as the food here is oily. For the crunch in particular, I really like the tater tots. The chicken prices were also juicy. Finally, the fried layer of cheese on the outside adds a really nice textural component.

I ordered the Number 2, which comes with a chicken sando and fries. For that sandwich, I chose no…read morespice. I also ordered a Sassy Sando with everything on the side so I could try it the next day you know just pop the chicken in the air fryer, I selected the hot spice level for that one. The fries were amazing!!! perfectly seasoned and easily the best part of the meal. I'd definitely come back for the fries. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about the chicken sandwiches. I found it odd that the fries were so flavorful while the chicken lacked seasoning. Because of that, I wouldn't personally recommend the sandwich. The next day, I tried Sassy Sando using all the toppings that had been packed separately. Everything still tasted fresh, almost like I had just purchased it. However, despite the hot spice level, the sandwich didn't have much flavor beyond the heat. It was spicy, but not particularly tasty. The customer service was excellent. The employee who took my order was polite, read everything back to me, and even brought my order outside and reviewed it again to make sure everything was correct. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor area has a nice atmosphere and scenery, which I really enjoyed. The only downside was that the outdoor tables were dirty when I visited.

So I'm driving around in the (sketchy) center looking and calling the restaurant and the lady that answered could give precise instruction on how to located the place. When I finally gave up and was just leaving I made a right out of the drive and lo and behold it's on the outside of the center. Literally the highest numbered address and the only suite PRIOR to going into the center. Like hello why not say I'm not inside the center. She kept saying if you in the center near the beauty supply go around the back. Then around the back from Louisiana Chicken. Honey let me advise you, you are prior to the center go around back doesn't make people will at least me think the corner prior to or outside of the center. I was trying to drive to the back of the center and it was not where you'd want your customers going. The spot is off Kingtree and I Street and you can't park on Kingtree nor would you want to there's homeless encampments all over there with antique store directly across the street from her door so any street parking on I would be taken by those patrons. And I had a disabled person in the car who couldn't walk from all the back where the shopping center began. So I'm sure she's missing out on foot traffic and inconvenience of parking traffic. If I maybe so bold as to give my humble opinion, break you lease and find another spot that isn't as scary for lone females and elder patrons to visit, that has robust lit parking and that doesn't put Baby in the back corner !!

Despite the reviews, we still decided to try this place. We drove all the way from Lancaster, but we won't be making the trip over here any time soon. I ordered 4 pieces of chicken, 2 waffles, mac and cheese, potato salad, and a sweat tea. Waffles were fluffy. It was probably the only good thing out of the meal. I feed bad saying this, but Albertsons chicken taste better. Their potato salad taste like it was store bought from Albertsons. The mac and cheese didn't do it for me. The texture and taste was weird. The sweat tea at McDonalds is refreshing and taste better. Besides the lack of quality in food, the service is terrible!!! I got to the drive through and there was 1 car ahead of me. I timed how long I waited, it was 47 minutes! It wasn't busy inside either. No apologies for the wait. Food just wasn't worth the wait or price! I'll give them another chance in the future and hopefully things get better. For now, we'll continue to go to the one in Lancaster. read more

this was my very first time visiting after being so excited waiting for this place to open just to get disappointed by the drive through window lady who got smart with me after i asked if the gravy can be put on the side & if they can just add extra seasoning to my wings. she said we season them already overnight and that would be impossible!!! i said oh no worries, just asking if that was a possibility and she replied aaaaannnnd i was just letting you know!!!! (i could just imagine her head bobbing side to side while saying it). i will never!!!! go back there again!!! horrible customer service. she was really mean and ghetto ass hell, and that's why i drove off, went right next door to primos. good customer service and they gave me what i needed with no questions asked. read more
