"My friend & I shared the Froehouse burger with duck fat fries & the Ahi Stack. We were literally staying across the street & wanted a lazy lunch in bed. Everything was very tasty! We added an extra patty to the burger, but even with one it would be quite filling. The fries were great! The poke was fresh but wish it came with some soy sauce or toasted sesame oil. Also wish you could customize the cheese for the burger. Had to call the restaurant but they were very friendly. It was a very nice lunch!! "
"Great portions for a wrap and tasty. Fries don't look like anything special but they're good and have just the right amount of salt in them. Honestly a great price for it all."

"This review is for the Big Pecker. I love the Big Pecker. I've ordered it twice now and I have been very impressed each time. I considered the Little Pecker, but when given the option, why choose a Little Pecker when you can have a Big Pecker.
The Big Pecker is huge. I don't think I've come across a meal as big as the Big Pecker at a price this reasonable. The meat is thick and filling and there was enough Big Pecker to leave us all satisfied. So far I have tried thr honey butter toss and the sweet heat toss. Both are quite tasty but I think I prefer the sweet heat toss. I also have to give a special shout out to the french fries included with the Big Pecker. French fries don't always travel well, but these do. I don't know what the secret is, but it makes the Big Pecker that much more satisfying. The biscuits are also absolutely amazing.
To summarize, I really enjoyed the Big Pecker if you were on the fence I think you should give the Big Pecker a try. I know I will be going back for more."
"The Crack Shack was the bomb before Covid happened. Everything was delicious and tasty. Previously, the chicken tenders were crispy outside and juicy inside. Now it's just bland and hardly has any crunchy texture. You have to have some sauce to dunk it in to have some meaningful flavor. It's sad to see how the quality has gone down. I would say that Chik-fil-A has better tasting chicken tenders than these. Also the fries were bland as well, very oily and unevenly seasoned. The Chicken Oysters had good flavor but I only got 5 whole pieces for $9; not worth the price. Also the photo on the portion size on DoorDash is misleading; it looks like there's at least 8 to 10 pieces of chicken oysters but like I said I only got 5 pieces. To make matters worse, they forgot to include the miso butter with my Mini Biscuits! I won't be in a hurry to order from them again in the future. Overall my experience with The Crack Shack was very disappointing and mediocre."

"The original #13 The Original Italian is one of our longtime favorites but the last 4 times we've ordered, we order exactly the same - always Mike's Way - but the flavor is different! Not as consistent recently dependent maybe on who is preparing... one time it tasted like all olive oil, perfect the 2nd time recently, last time was quite dry not much red wine or olive oil + just today, sooo much red wine vinegar! Couldn't eat the top bread because it was doused in vinegar, overpowering the flavor. Hope the prep gets consistent again!"

"My new favorite chicken spot! Mouth-watering chicken with amazing prices, incredible portions and a spicy heat that can't be beat. Simple menu with simply delightful offerings. Fed me and a hungry friend with food to spare for under $40 (including delivery)...We are not light eaters.
The MC Sandwich and Dark Meat Sandwich are my go-to meals. A little bit of bun, a lot of chicken, and just the right toppings — pickles, slaw, sauce. The quarter leg is an absurd amount of food for the price. The tenders are... well, tender. Well seasoned fries with a crisp that somehow sticks well after they've gone cold.
Found this place a few weeks ago and I've already gone back 5 times. I'm really looking forward to the next 5. "
"I hate to be that person that orders 10 minutes before they close, but I was in a bind. Did not disappoint, in fact exceeded expectations. It was still so fresh and flavorful and tender, good sized portions, and the seasoning on the fries was really just the cherry on top. That literally ate--new go to for real."

"Fresh bagel of the day is described as having cream cheese, but they definitely used Neufchatel which has a very noticeable diffefence in texture and flavor (worse imo). Cold Brew (with or without milk) had maybe a splash of milk, I also added toffee nut syrup for $1, but the drink had almost no flavor and was very watery. It tasted like an unweetened iced americano for reference. Probably would not order again online, might be better in person so you can ask barista for asjustments. Half Order Avocado Toast was exactly what it claimed to be at least, and the bread used had a very good bouncy sourdough texture."
