This place has a clear culinary point of view and does what they do very well.
It's all about the chicken and the egg. The chicken they're most famous for is their fried tender, though there are other options. They even had meatless options. But the restaurant is a celebration of the chicken tender, which they do very well.
What could compliment the chicken better than the egg. And which came first? Here, it's the egg. Their deviled egg ("heavenly egg") is their most famous appetizer and it is extremely good.
Our server was hip, made us feel at home, and took good care of us.
We had the deviled eggs (five halves - so I guess the chef gets a half, lol). They were creamy, well seasoned, had a little kick, and were liberally topped with candied bacon. Yummo! We are big deviled egg fans and have had many variations. These stand up to the best!
My wife had two chicken tenders with a side of fries. Two was plenty. It's like a whole chicken breast cut in half lengthwise. Crispy, moist and flavorful. The fries were standard though not excellent. She says next time she'll try a different side - probably the broccoli salad.
I had the cobb salad with chicken tenders. I highly recommend this. It's not available with blue cheese dressing, which is usually my preference. But I wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect. So delicious! And it also comes with a whole deviled egg (two halves). It's not exactly a healthy, low calory salad. It's a cobb. It's a bowl of decadent flavor. But it's amazingly delicious and you still get to check the box of, "I'm making healthy choices; I had salad for dinner." :-)
For any chicken you order, there's a scale of heart level (spiciness). I choose, "hot," which has a detectable but lower level of heat. They offer several degrees higher than that. My wife had "mo spicy" and she has a pretty high tolerance but it was too spicy for her, so we traded out one tender each, to balance the heat.
They're spiciness chart is as much about the source of the heat as it is about the level of heat. "Mo spicy" has ground, dried peppers of some sort dusted onto it. It was very unevenly dusted, and in some places downright coated. It was a very flavorful spice mix. I really enjoyed it. But don't go for 'mo unless you're really prepared. I loved it, but it made me sweat a bit. My nose ran and my lips burned. But I couldn't stop eating it, lol!
I tried a drink there that sounds wierd but I really liked it! Their bar advertises, "stiff, cheap cocktails" (clever marketing). I had the 60/40. It's a beer glass filled 60% with Modelo on draft and 40% filled with a frozen blood orange margarita. Sounds crazy. But dang it was good. Bright and refreshing. I will absolutely order that again next time I'm here. And I'll order another cobb with hot chicken tenders. But since that comes with a deviled egg, instead of ordering an appetizer, I'll save room for their buttermilk pie, which looked amazing. read more
