"We have been making our way through this menu, and everything has been fantastic! We have tried most of the Italian entrees, calzones, pizzas, subs, paninis, and a few appetizers. I would order every item again (or already have!). Ingredient specifications have been met every time. Food is always packaged well, very fresh, and great portions. This is my new favorite place on Door Dash!"
"Ordered the Scallops Entrée and Seafood Chowder. The portions with the Scallops Entrée were proportionate with the included rice pilaf. The Seafood Chowder included oyster crackers and tasted wonderful. The food came in containers that kept the food fresh. The external packaging was a standard paper bag, stapled and taped shut. I ve had this exact order a few times and would highly recommend it to anyone that craves a seafood dinner."

"The Quesadilla Burger was phenomenal! The toppings were fresh and added the perfect flavor to the dish. I would definitely order this again!"
"Server, Isabella, was very rude when we went to pick up the food. The chicken wonton tacos (double order as 2 of my 3 options) had chicken only, no coleslaw or tomatoes/lettuce. The double fried shrimp (my 3rd option of the trio) consisted of 5 shrimp total, had asked for cocktail sauce, it wasn't in the container. No napkins or utensils either. Not impressed AT ALL & such a disappointment!"

"The 9 Pc Tenders w/ Fries was outstanding. The photo only showed what we had left after my kids obliterated it (we added a biscuit its; not included). I'm obsessed with the 10 Drumsticks! They are always seasoned perfectly, and cooked to perfection. You cwnt beat that price either. I always add sauces, and the honey mustard is the kids' fav, the white sauce is my favorite. If I could order a tub of it, I would. I also appreciate that this establishment is always punctual too! "
"i didnt take photos but this will always be an amazing choice in food. the Loaded Fries are literally so flavourful and delicious. the inly thing negetive i have to say is i wish there was an option to not include the pickles that come on top as this store doesnt take special requests but i can easily pick them off as the pickles are sliced. best flavourful chicken around in my honest opinion"
