While I've heard of it, and driven by a handful of times, I am never ready to try it... but finally, I had my moment! The parking lot is quite tight (it was filled with very large trucks so it felt a little limited driving through) but we found a parking spot outside very easily. Once we got inside, we were greeted quickly, sat immediately and the server came by to grab our drink order within seconds! She even provided us somer recommendations for food and I decided to go for the chicken sandwich and fries. Honestly, it was HUGE and I absolutely loved the fries. The sandwich was juicy and flavorful and I really want to come back to try more of their options... I just need to remember to go to the westside more often to grab dinner.

Parking was a bit tricky as they have a small lot (made even smaller by the massive amounts of snow we have this winter!). The menu is large and has a lot of interesting and unique bar-type foods. Lots of burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, etc. We started with the dill pickle wontons, which were really tasty and nice for the group to share because they were cut into chunks. For my dinner I ordered the smokehouse burger with a side of tots. Nate got the junkyard with fries. Handhelds and burgers come with chips but you can upgrade to fries, tots, or onion rings for an additional charge. Our food came out pretty quickly and looked really good! My burger was huge and juicy and nicely cooked. The tots were interesting - they are housemade and reminded me of arancini. Very good, but not what I was expecting. I had a bite of Nate's sandwich which was kind of a loaded reuben, with bacon, haystack onions, smoked gouda, etc. Yum! Our server was really kind and service was great even though it was busy. I will definitely be back to this spot the next time I'm in the area.

Ok these guys just started a month ago, I discovered them on Google but it did not show up on Yelp…read more- because they weren't listed. Well now they are. Overall a 3.5-star experience but we'll round up to 4-stars. A lot of positives here: - they are open late. I mean, till 3 or 4 am he said? Wowsers. I wasn't sure this area gets patrons that late but I guess they do. - lots of options on the menu here. I like variety. - I got the Philly Beef Sandwich and the Lamb + Chicken on rice. The Philly Beef was good, it's not like a Philly Cheesesteak, but it's respectable for what they do. Meat was slightly dry, I may not get this again but he said it was a popular dish. The Lamb / Chicken on Rice was solid. I've had dishes like this before. Meat was okay, rice was good, they put that white and red sauce on it - - omg they put too much. He said people like it that way - okay - next time I may get extra on the side. - The white sauce they use here - it's not authentic, but it's okay. You can definitely taste the mayo base, but it's not the real McCoy. I think a few more tweaks it can be improved. - The spice table has a lot of offerings here - I like that. Make your own spice concoction. - They have a plethora of desserts to try too. - The burgers and fries here look good. Fries especially, but I skipped those on this night. - The customer service here was friendly. They are eager to please. You can tell they are excited to serve you when you arrive. So overall it was slightly better than "OK" but I would go back here to try their fries and their burgers too. Plus there's fried chicken, fish sandwich, and plenty of other menu options.

Chicken and rice combo is great. White and hot sauces hit right…read more Portion sizes have varied though, in the several times we've been. Other fried foods are fairly standard fare.

They need a better fried chicken recipe, because they don't know how to cook at all, I always order buffalo wings, or sometimes a gyro, im not understanding how either locations are still in business though, food is terrible, and their racist against African Americans/ Black people, assumed when you complain about your order you just want a refund and free food, instead of actually just remaking the mistake, also you can tell them BUFFALO wings and they will still give you those Gordon Wing Zings out of the box, like who would want something they can get at Gordon's and make at home, then they inflate the prices on them. Learn the difference between buffalo wings and chicken wings. Even if you order "hot" wings at a normal restaurant they usually come with buffalo sauce on the actual wing. read more

This was my first time here and I was very impressed! When we pulled in the parking lot, there was…read morea ton of parking on all sides of the building. They had a decent amount of handicap parking as well on the sides of the building. There was also a drive thru in the back that we discovered upon leaving! When we walked in, it was bigger than expected. There were tons of booths and tables. I was impressed by the use of space because there was still plenty of aisle/walking room and none of the tables were too close together. The ordering system was definitely different, but I guess it wasn't anything different than a place like Chic Fil A. There was a line against one wall, and when you got to the front, you ordered, grabbed a tray. You were then either expected to wait for your food there, or they would give you a number and call you up later if your food was going to take longer. The only issue with this, is that we weren't familiar with this process, so it was a bit confusing. The staff was very friendly though, and they answered all questions very nicely. After waiting in the line for probably 7 ish minutes, we ordered, got our food almost right away, paid, and sat at a booth near a window. I must note that the prices were very reasonable. They had a lot of cheaper options and upgrade options. The food was also very customizable which was nice. The food was everything you could want for a traditional burger and fries meal. The fries came unsalted, which I prefer, but they had salt at each table. The burgers were loaded, but they weren't too big to the point that they were hard to eat. The only thing I might like better was if they had a self-serve drink station. There was a self serve water station, but I guess even when dining in the soft drinks were not refillable. The vibe was nothing special at all. The interior, technology, menu board, and basically everything there was pretty outdated. I just think this is a place where you aren't going there for the vibe, so it doesn't matter. It did not take away from the experience at all, and I will definitely be going back! 10/10 recommended! Even if you're not in this area, they have several other locations too!

It seemed pretty popular as a couple of people had placed orders before me and were waiting for their food and then they were a few people after me as well. It does take a while for you to get your food, though. I was willing to wait. They did mess up my order and gave me a barbecue chicken wrap instead of a buffalo chicken wrap that I ordered. I feel like this may have thrown them off maybe not but my chicken was way over sauced it really took away from the flavor of the chicken itself and I'm pretty sure I don't even know if there was any blue cheese because all I could taste with sauce. The jalapeño poppers were meh and they didn't really have a special sauce that comes with them. I am surprised they didn't do anything to make up for messing my order and making me wait longer. I may give them another shot but will have to request that they only put a little sauce or on the side.
