By Top Chef winner Richard Blais. Parking at the back of the restaurant and you’ll have to walk to the front pass the soda fountain and sauce station to order your food. The French fries was really the star of the show. Tossed in chicken and duck fat, it’s crispy and full of flavor. Rest of the food were good and place was rather packed even for a Tuesday evening.

Terrific for young parents who still crave the bar scene. Full bar. Tasty Pricy Chicken. Fun atmosphere. Just not my cup of tea. But just because it isn't my cup of tea doesn't mean it should get a bad review. They actually have a game to entertain the kiddo's. Pictures included. We ordered 5 pieces of fried chicken $18.00. Fancy fries with chicken on top $12.00 and a double patty chicken sandwich $14.00. With tax short of $50.00. This is without beverage/alcohol.

It seems pricey compared to other fast food chicken sandwich brands, but the quality and portion totally worth it. The meat is juicy, thick and crispy. The sandwiches also come with a LOT of veggies. I recommend fire bird or anything that comes with fried chicken. The dine-in area also has a bar and fancy decor lollll!

Want the best of the best? This is the place for the freshest free range pasture raised fried chicken. Non-gmo eggs. Bread made in house always fresh. Produce from top quality boutique farms. Sauces top quality. You got to try it to belive it. Love the open air concept restaurant with a bar an area to have fun and pet friendly.

Yes...and for those that responded some variation of keeping them at home how bout this... I'll keep my well behaved dog at home if you keep your loud, screaming, whining, bratty, running around the place while you ignore them thinking that everyone thinks that's cute (hint: it isnt) kids at home. Deal?

We do not accept reservations and yes, we have Kid's Meal options made with the same top quality ingredients that we have across our grown-up menu. Hope to see you and the family here soon.
