    This is a regular spot for me, my husband and my friends. This time I ordered the Fishwich with sweet potato fries. It was super good (definitely do a repeat on that one) and adding the fry dipping sauce to the sandwich gave it some extra zing. The portion was generous. See you in a couple of weeks no doubt! My husband and I are already planning our next food order LOL.
