Yum food was good. I got the Chicken wrap and ordered on the screen. Food arrived to our table quickly after ordering. Also got a water cup, which tasted terrible. Bring your own water or get a soda here to avoid that bad water.

Fresh, fast, and super convenient. You order at the counter and the food comes out quickly; everything we had tasted fresh and delicious. Great spot for a casual, no-fuss meal

The food is fresh and good. My chicken tastes good but it was dry. I enjoyed the lineup, squash, and kale mixture, the sweet potatoes were too sweet. Overall, it was a great Fast serve restaurant, but I reserve a five for outstanding.

The service and soeed of the order were great! Food was delicious and very healthy. We had the pork and the chicken, I prefered the Pork. The sweet potatos and Brussels were fantastic. There is patio and inside seating and free parking in the parking garage. We will be back.

This was our first time here, and I can honestly say it was really good! My husband and I ordered the two-meat plate with sides. We chose the pulled pork and wings, along with Brussels sprouts and the quinoa kale salad.The pulled pork was flavorful and tender, and the sides were fresh and delicious. The only thing that wasn’t my personal favorite was the wings. The quality of the wings was excellent, but for me, grilled wings just don’t have the same flavor as fried wings. I’ll probably stick with fried wings next time.Overall, this place gets two thumbs up from us and is definitely worth trying!
