Food was hot, fresh, and good! My first time getting food here and I was extremely happy I picked this place for lunch! I got the nuggets and Mac and cheese.
Kinda expensive but it was very VERY good!! Service was great as well.
Very welcoming, friendly, and professional service from the lady working the front today. April 4th around 12:00PM

If you want "Nashville Hot" style chicken then absolutely give this place a try.
The "Warm" spice level is just a little hotter than regular "Buffalo Wings" (traditionally made with Frank's Red Hot" and are probably just right for folks who want spicy, but not pain.
If you're a chili head, or thrill seeker, then you'll want a higher spice level. The place was nice and clean, the temperature inside pleasant, and the assistant manager who helped me at the counter was very pleasant and friendly. If you're looking for more affordable prices then try the M-W $10 lunch special. The only reason that I didn't give 5 stars is that some of the prices, especially the $3.50 for coleslaw or $3 for a soda are just too damn high.
I can't accept any place charging $3 for a fountain drink when it's essentially ten cents worth of corn syrup + water. And $3.50 for coleslaw? Why? Cabbage is known for being cheap, it's what you eat when you're too poor to afford something else. Normally coleslaw is something that just comes with a meal, not something you pay extra for? Anyway, sign up for the app, save $5, and give it a try - who knows, maybe you'll love it and maybe you'll find the side prices to be worth it.

This was the best chicken I've had in a fast food restaurant.
The HOT level sauce on the chicken was on point.
I had the big tender sandwich and big they were.
The tenders were very juicy, the pickled onions were delicious and the waffle fries were finger licking good.
