Nashville hot chicken sandwich is phenomenal. It is called the big rooster. Big proportions and the skinny fries are great. The ceasar salad had great reviews. The servers are very attentive.

The steak wrap and sweet potato tots were really good. The cajun shrimp taco was amazing and the shrimp had a lot of flavor. Seared Mahi-Mahi taco and smash burger taco were good. The carnitas taco was a little too sweet for my liking. The churros were good, but the chocolate sauce that comes with them isn't that good. The staff were super friendly. Will definitely be back!
