    Can’t believe I’m saying this, but we were very disappointed today. Ordered the chicken sandwich and it was more burnt than the Griswold Turkey from Christmas Vacation. We understand mistakes happen and that’s where the second part put us over the edge and felt like leaving a negative review. The server dropped off the food and didn’t come back until we were finished eating our sides or whatever was edible on our plates. She asked if we wanted to take the burned, fried chicken on our plates home. She didn’t offer any type of solution or any kind of alternative for the meal and simply comped it. Wouldn’t want anything else other than not paying for food that wasn’t consumable but felt very dismissed and server seemed like they couldn’t care less. There’s a million options for us to eat at on a Saturday and sadly this won’t be in our list moving forward.

    Our chicken was dry and way too much breading. Service was good.
