"Crispy wings with no bad pieces. Boneless are a little small for how much it is but still good taste. "
"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

"The food was great as always! I got the 3 piece chicken meal with all white meat. The meat was tender and flavorful. I love their house salsa! They didn't give me the amount I asked for, but they gave a close enough amount this time. One time, I ordered from here and they gave me 0 salsas when I asked for 10 of them. I usually try calling to see if I can talk to someone about the salsa before it's picked up, but it's extremely rare for the to answer the phone. I find this absolutely rude! There are several stores on Doordash that don't answer their phones. El Pollo Loco is one, Subway another and 7/11 is yet another one. It's totally ridiculous! It's horrible customer service. Well, at least the food was good. Lol!"

"The shrimp were so big and so flavorful. They were cooked perfectly! The hush puppies were delicious crunchy little balls of goodness too. My daughter lived her wings dinner and the portions were huge! Definitely new fans!"
"DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE. I’m SERIOUS. I came in expecting something average and instead got one of the BEST fish meals I’ve had in a while.
The fish was PERFECT. Not greasy, not heavy, none of that nasty oily after-feel you usually get with fried food. It actually tasted CLEAN and fresh, like you’re eating something that’s GOOD for you and still DELICIOUS. The seasoning was SPOT ON and didn’t overpower the fish at all, it just made it better.
The portions were HUGE. You’re actually getting REAL VALUE here, not some tiny overpriced plate. This is the kind of meal that actually FILLS YOU UP.
The jumbo shrimp was INSANE. These things were MASSIVE, literally as big as my mouth, and SUPER JUICY. Not dry, not rubbery, just COOKED PERFECTLY.
They didn’t cheap out either. ALL the condiments were included, no missing sauces, no having to ask for anything.
And the CRAZIEST part is I ordered ONE MINUTE before they closed. Most places would rush it or mess it up, but they still made EVERYTHING PERFECTLY.
If you’re thinking about trying it JUST GO. This place actually DELIVERS."
