This evaluation is for both dine in and pick up 2 days later. I had 2 coupons that I could not use at the same time. For dine in I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with fries plus shared a fried shrimp appetizer. The food tasted very good, however, the slice of chicken and bun were very small for the price. My dining partner said that the cheeseburger tasted very good and was satisfied with the meal. The shared appetizer of fried shrimp was very good, although the breading was a little thick for the shrimp size. For pickup I ordered the dinner “one meat and two sides” - chicken wings with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. The food was portioned small for the price. The chicken wings were tough/chewy and small in size and number. There were only 5 pieces for a total of 2-1/2 full chicken wings. The potatoes were overly salty and dry. The creamed corn was more cream than corn, although it tasted ok. If it were not for the coupons, the value would be poor.

The food is just not to my taste. Too much fried food and heavy sauces. My friend loved it, so it’s just not for me.

Fish & chips would be better if you used malt vinegar rather than malt vinegar powder.

Fried pickles were good, sliders were good, cobb salad was good. Cauliflower was mushy and no flavor-not good. Ambience was great, service was average.

The food was not great. I had to send my BBQ chicken salad back. I could not even eat it that’s how horrible it tasted. Was giving them a second try but sadly won’t be back,
