    Their fried chicken dinners are fantastic! Besides the fried chicken itself, all of the sides are wonderful!

    We went for their Sunday fried chicken dinner, which is delicious. The service was Ok as we ordered an appetizer before lunch, but everything came out at the same time which completely filled our table with plates and bowels. Other than that issue, everything was very good!

    Nice place, and usually pretty good food. We were there right after a golf tournament this time. The golfers at the two nearby tables were LOUD and very amused at their own wit.

    Food was surprisingly disappointing. Normally it’s very good. I won’t come back for an event that offers family style preselected food again.
