What People's Say About Place

It's our go-to spot to order halal burgers and chicken mac from last few years. I dined in recently with kids for the 1st time. Their burgers, fries, and Mac chicken tasted even better, crisper, freshly fried. We love their sweet potato fries. We also got chocolate shake and mango shake. Mango shake was missing mango and tasted like vanilla ice cream. Restaurant was not that clean, and the attendant only wiped the table after a group of students left, ignoring a whole bun on the floor. They have 2 tables, not much sitting, I guess their dine in customers are usually students, so they don't care much how clean the area is. Anyhow, good food. I wish they had their grilled chicken and cornado available. Overall, it was a good experience to grab a quick bite with kids while in the area to do groceries.

Walked in and immediately noticed probably one of the most beautiful cashiers I’ve ever seen. I ordered 4 different burgers and honestly, they all tasted amazing. The fries were ok, the Mac and cheese was not bad. The sides were tasty but nothing special. The burgers are where these people rock. The pulled chicken sandwich was probably the most unique taste ever. The sauces were very nice too, try them all.

No frills take out style chicken and shakes place. Great shakes, chicken is crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. The chicken is made to order, so it's a bit of a wait sometimes, but it's good eating for sure. Random flies might pester you in the summer because the food is so fragrant that they wander, but otherwise, good spot for a casual bite of fried chicken

Beautiful experience. Wonderful food. After a while visited a place which has unique taste of its own. BEST THING ABOUT THIS PLACE. EVERTHING WAS MADE FRESH. Its a fast food joint but no frozen food was reheated but actually made fresh. Fries were just amazing. We ordered buffalo wings, spicy chicken sandwich, fish sandwich and fried chicken. Spicy chicken sanwich was really nice. Loved its unique flavor, bun pickels and patty were all very nice. Fried chicken was served very fresh. Nice and crispy. Overall everyone in my family loved their visit. Definitely recommend this place to others.

MY TASTE BUDS ARE SCREAMING WITH JOY…2 Words!!! REAL CHICKEN!!! This is not my first time at this place, in fact, every time I come here the food gets better and better and better if you are reading this review please visit and satisfy your stomach! I promise you will NOT be disappointed. Every think is made to order not Precooked like Wendy’s , chic-fle or Burger King. So be aware to wait cause it’s worth it. Try their new addition beef burger. Be sure to try the shakes that are out of this world. thank me later. Enjoy!

i ordered the shredded bird sandwich and a chocolate milkshake. not gonna lie I was kinda skeptical about the sandwich since I haven’t tried anything like it but it was really good. the chocolate milkshake was very good too. their spicy chicken sandwich is also really good. would definitely recommend this place.

With all the rave about their mac n cheese, I didn't like it. Their spicy chicken sandwich was good and their corn was not bad. I found their shake to be the best!

The peanut brownie shake has actual chunks of brownies and has a really nice touch of peanut butter. I also got the strawberry shortcake shake which also includes chunks of strawberry. Both signature shakes are amazing and are the perfect amount of sweetness. Although it is on the pricier end for shakes given the size, I would say the shakes are off the roof and better than Shake Shack’s shakes! As for their Cool Chic Chicken Sandwich, it is potentially better than Popeye’s. I will definitely be returning for more chicken sandwiches and shakes!
