This place is fantastic. A go to for an endofevening meal with friends. The food is always delicious, service always friendly and attentive, and the music is always on point. The spicy seafood casserole is our favorite and always leaves us full and satisfied and with a fair amount of take away for the next day.

I requested no white sauce maybe mayo? on top, and they didnt forgetreally appreciate that! The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the seasoning was wellbalanced. The portion was generous, making it a great deal for the price. The sauce was a bit heavy and sweeter than I usually like, but overall, it was still delicious.
