Me and my teenage boys just happened to be in the area looking for fried chicken sandwiches. We saw a Chik-Fil-A nearby but thought, "hell, let's try something new." Yelp took us to Nash Bros. Upon entering, the menu looks a little intimidating. From burgers to hot chix sandwiches, to tenders, loaded nachos, loaded fries, and even Bubble tea. Sometimes a big menu at a fast casual spot can be a bad sign, just trying to do too much. The good news is that the staff member patiently took us through the menu and asked us what we liked, and what heat level we were comfortable with. Between us we got a hot chix sandwich, chicken tenders, seasoned fries, and where else could you get chicken and waffles in the middle of the day? First off, there are a number of sauces to choose from. And the fries came out crispy and well seasoned. Both good signs. But most importantly, the star of the show just has to be the chicken. Specifically that unique Nashville style of chicken with that unique Nashville cayenne-based seasoning. Ok...so the chicken tasted incredibly fresh, it was thick, juicy, and meaty. There was no way it spent any time under a heat lamp. The spice level at a medium worked for me. A slight glisten of sweat on the ol' forehead. The flavor was there, keeping in mind this isn't a drown your chicken into a pit of bbq sauce type of place. It's a dry rub Nashville heat. So be mindful of that. I am used to Nashville chicken having an oily finish, but this didn't have that (which didn't bother me). The place appeared 5 stars clean. The service was 5 star fantastic. And the food was 100% fresh tasting. Technically, I give it 4-1/2 stars for two reasons. A half star off only because they really are missing a drink station with a sweet and non-sweet tea option for some authenticity. Also because the sauces didn't "Wow" anybody. And sauces that punch you in the mouth can really make a place stand out. But I'm pushing out 5 stars because of the service, the cleanliness, and the freshness. Recommend a stop-in if you are craving that unique Nashville hot chicken flavor.

I always order a chardog with the fries on the side. A chocolate cone as a treat, and sometimes a shake. They are always super nice and fast! The food is fresh and made to order. There's lots of seating inside and outside. And, it's always sparkling clean! CharDog-This hotdog is absolutely perfect! I savor every last bite of it. It's a Vienna Beef hotdog. So, it's the real deal. It's not the traditional Chicago dog. So, don't expect that. This hotdog is juicy, smokey, and charred with a bold beef flavor. Loaded with mustard, sports peppers, relish, and onions. On a nice plush bun. I personally get it without onions. And, it's heavenly! Chocolate Cone-If you're in the mood for a creamy, dreamy, and delicious cone. Then, make sure to get this! The chocolate is nutty and bold. I love this tasty treat. It brings me so much joy! I every now and then will treat myself to this family sized cone. And, I happily finish every last lick of this. So, next time you see Rand Red Hots. Make sure to stop here! You won't regret it!

The prices here are very reasonable. I didn't experience sticker shock when I glanced at the menu. The restaurant pays tribute to the soda shops of 70 years ago. Oldies even pop through the sound system. I even heard "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" by Louis Prima. I did order a Maxwell Street Polish. I was amazed to discover that it was bursting with fresh cut fries just like another establishment called Gene & Jude's. The onions and the sweet peppers that came separately gave the Polish, which I believed was charred, a tangy touch. Regarding the fries, there was so much that I was done with the Polish first. I'm kicking myself because I thought I took a picture of the meal, but failed to do so. Apologies for that. Sadly, I must move on to the negative that prompted me to rate the place three stars. I didn't appreciate the attitude of the woman who took my order. On top of that, she apparently had a poor grasp of the English language. But still, if you have to have a nicely cooked tube steak, bring yourselves to Rand. I could envision myself returning so as long as the same woman isn't at the counter.

I don't normally leave negative reviews, but this experience was unbelievable…read more Three of us came in for dinner and spent around $60. Two of my friends ordered their burgers with the bumper sauce on the side. When our food came out, there was only one cup of sauce for both burgers. My friend politely went up to the counter and explained that both burgers were supposed to have the sauce on the side. That's when Garrett, who identified himself as the manager, turned what should have been a 10-second fix into an unnecessary confrontation. The most unbelievable part was watching another employee try to make things right by handing us a full cup of sauce, only for Garrett to take it away, pour some of it out, and hand us back a half-filled cup just to prove a point. I've honestly never seen a manager act that petty over something so insignificant. Seriously...what kind of business sense does that make? Three customers spend $60, and you're willing to lose them over sauce that costs less than a dollar? Instead of taking care of customers and supporting his employee, Garrett chose to argue over a condiment. This wasn't about trying to get something for free. We were simply asking for what was ordered. A good manager understands that customer service is what keeps people coming back. Unfortunately, Garrett showed the exact opposite. The food itself was good, but customer service can make or break a restaurant. Because of how Garrett handled such a simple issue, we won't be back, and I certainly can't recommend this place to anyone looking to be treated with respect.

There's a whole halal menu I didn't get to try. I wanted something that was fast but not too fast so I settle on a burger. The bun was decent but the patties looked preformed and kinda bland. There's a whole leaf of lettuce ( iceberg lettuce) of course on top. The tomato slice was double the thickness of a nice slice you would get at any other place. I asked for grilled onions and got this 1/2 thick slice slightly charred whole onion piece like a piece of tree with all the rings. When I tell you about the flimsy over pickled pickles , it was all down hill. Overall their burgers aren't the greatest but there's a whole other side to the menu .

The gyro meat has a unique, delicious flavor that keeps me coming back, and the pita is exactly how it should be, soft with just the right amount of crisp. Their fries are consistently fresh, perfectly seasoned, and always served hot. What makes this place even more special is the service. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about the customer experience. On my most recent visit, Verda was exceptionally kind, patient, and welcoming to every person who walked through the door. I was especially touched by how warm and thoughtful she was with my sons. That level of genuine hospitality is becoming harder to find, and it made our meal even more enjoyable. Great food brings people in the first time, but outstanding service is what keeps them coming back. The Works delivers both. It's the kind of local business worth going out of your way to support. I highly recommend it, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit with my boys.
