    The whole experience at OG was memorable! Not only was did the food measure up, but the service was top notch. We ordered breakfast: smothered burrito and chicken and biscuits. Both were portioned perfectly and served hot. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and the hot honey dressing was not too spicy. We'll be back!
