Decent Schwarma in an unassuming plaza. First off, this plaza is very much your working class locale. It's not pretty, but it's close to the highway. It's very easy to look at this place and be a little put off because of the location. I came here to try them out cause my plan A option fell through. There was two men working, and a group of 6 people waiting on food. They had no physical menus and the tvs that were stationed above the register were off. There were blank QR codes next to the register, which are their digital menus. None of this was explained, it had to be interpreted. I wanted to try their shish tawouq, which was the closest thing to the picture on the menu. Was told it would take 30 minutes to prepare. Taking the hint, I instead opted for the chicken Schwarma. Took about 15 minutes to get my order. Took pics and dug in. The chicken was cooked and juicy. There wasn't very much spice or seasoning on the chicken. This could be partly due to the fact that the garlic sauce was broken and also very overpowering. I love garlic, but can understand how some people might not like that much garlic in their food. For the cash, it's not horrible but it's also not much food either. It's the type of meal that's perfectly fine for a quick lunch, especially if you go for their fried fare. The weird part is the space is very much decked out to be a fancier place than it is. They got nice chairs, a well decorated space, and lots of class. But then they use tissue boxes for napkins, and have loads of drinks and coolers in the dining area. I'm not sure if they have given up or just don't know how to present themselves. But based on the food I got, it's not bad but it's not good either. It's an option if you want lunch, but it's a mixed bag

SOS fried chicken was recommended by a friend, so I tried the chicken tenders, which are HUGE. The fries are just seasoned crinkle fries. You'll have to wait a few mins while your chicken is cooked to order -- which means it's served hot and fresh. The chicken was VERY moist and the breading was good. There is some seating, but it seems like more of a takeout place. I'm interested in going back to try the Mediterranean menu items like shawarma. So many options! The guys there were nice too.

15 minute wait for an expensive, soggy and greasy 12-inch teriyaki chicken grinder. Absolutely gross.

I once was a fan of the KFC. I recall munching the Kentucky goodness back in the day. But those…read moredays have gone down the friggin' tubes! I keep running into dried up, half a$$ed , wtf chicken. Then the Popeyes showed up, and im feeling better now. Yes I miss the Colonels taters and gravy, but I suppose I could get his sides and eat them with Popeyes chicken. ( Popeyes green beans are pretty good). Big fan of the elusive chicken sandwich as well. I was getting them before they became trendy and was happy to be able to get a decent crispy chicken sandwich. I'd tried the abominable thing they call a chicken sandwich at Chick Fil A, and was sooo not impressed. Lame chicken and shameful politics!! Screw those guys!! Popeyes Chicken sandwich with a pickle on it works for me. I should go get one right now. Decent friendly crew always seems to be running around. OOPS!! 06/06/2020 UPDATE!! IS THIS A GAME CHANGER?? So today I go in for some more chicken sandwiches and a nice counter girl takes my order. But while I am waiting, I notice a lack of napkins. Hmm, mysterious. But on the main counter IS a napkin holder, but its facing the wrong direction. More mystery!! So of course I turn the thing around and grab a few napkins, and suddenly... THE NAPKIN POLICE!!! Some other counter girl shouts ' DEBBIE! WATCH YOUR NAPKINS!!" ( named changed to protect the innocent) and she spins the napkin holder back around with a scowl. The 'napkin security guard' then proceeds to talk down to Debbie, not sure if this is cus 'Debbie' is new or 'Debbie' is latino, but when 'Debbie' finally gets my order on a tray in front of me.... ....she tries to give me a few napkins. Like a good counter girl should. The napkin gestapo girl scolds her, " THEY ALREADY GOT THEIR NAPKIN!!!" How lame is this? Ok, I guess they are cutting down on napkin consumption by monitoring their napkins, but FOR CRIPES SAKE, don't do this in front of customers!! And dont make your customers feel like NAPKIN THIEVES!! Still like those chicken sandwiches though, but...MINUS ONE STAR for the gal in glasses and her snotty napkin attitude.

This Popeyes is usually good but lately they've been slacking. I ordered via mobile app and…read moreselected for a specific time to pick up. When I got at my scheduled time, I was asked to wait 20 minutes because they didn't have enough chicken for my 10 piece meal deal. I waited, thought they forgot about me because so many cars and patrons had gone through the drive thru and in and out of the restaurant and was told there still wasn't enough chicken. Waited some more for a total of 40 minutes! Got home with my family's dinner after a long road trip only to find many pieces of chicken were undercooked! At this point we decided to trash the food because it wasn't worth getting sick over. I am so disappointed and disgusted with this specific location.

Went in today to have dinner w/family it was 5 of us. They tell me that there's a cover charge of…read more$15. Like what? I've been here countless times since it's opened. Mind you every time we go it's $180 or so not including tip. It's 2 adults and 3 teenagers. We always get their rocking nachos and sometimes fried calamari. Their food is good the majority of the time. There's been a few times there nacho's been stale but I noticed last time that the portion was way smaller. I noticed since it's 5 of us and I asked them about it and they admitted that they made the portion smaller due to whatever I don't even remember what their excuse was but whatever. My kids don't like any of their bbq menu or sauces they really don't like the smokiness or the taste. My son likes to order their steak frites which is $35. Usually there's 2 or 3 of us that have that. Lately though I've change my order to chicken alfredo which I really like. They're sauce is nice and thick and hot unlike some places I've been to. Anyways when we went there today HUNGRY and wanting to get some food they told me there's a cover charge of $15. I told them we were there to eat dinner and my bill was gonna be over $150 but they said it still applied. So I chose to leave and walked out. I could've paid the $15 but I was making a point. Why should I pay extra $15 cover charge when that $15 can go towards a waiter/waitress tip?It was annoying to know that we already there hungry and ready to sit down and eat and their charging an extra $15 like there was an event or something. There was nothing going on. Who knows, I feel maybe bcuz I'm Puerto Rican they wanted to charge me extra. For as long as I've gone there the owner never has acknowledged us as regular customers. I don't want to give them an extra $15. Everything is expensive everywhere we go. Gas, groceries, everything. I could've cooked at home but I decided to treat my family out to dinner and they ask me for a cover charge. I don't think so. So I walked out and went to Maggie McFly's and paid about $172 w/tip. So I'm writing this review to say that they weren't going to get an extra cent out of me. Another person probably would've just paid it but there's been plenty of times that customers just go there to line dance or play bingo an are just not ordering anything close to the amount of money I'm paying. They're probably getting a burger and a drink so for them to ask for a cover charge when there are 5 of us for dinner is ridiculous and greedy of them.. I don't think I will be going back for in person eating
