Portions were huge and the French fries order too. We had pretzels and beer cheese for appetizers and they were very tasty. The fried chicken was very good could have been more crispy. I probably could have asked for that?? LoL Super busy local favorite restaurant.

Absolutely amazing food! Even the side dishes had the down home wonderful taste. Prices are great too. Watch out or you’ll order enough food for 2 days! The chicken is their signature item and we enjoyed ours. We can’t wait to try some of the other offerings like the special of the day.
