What to Order
Fried Chicken Sandwich
This massive sandwich features two juicy, crispy fried chicken pieces, often with a sweet sauce and crunchy slaw, making it a messy but satisfying experience.
"The actual best friend chicken sandwich, it's so good and the pricing isn't even much more if more at all then these fast food places, but 1000x better."
Maryam Razak
Mac and Cheese
A rich and flavorful mac and cheese, often served in a "big ass" portion, and can be topped with fried chicken for an even heartier meal.
"The Mac and cheese was also so flavourful (and I’m usually disappointed by Mac and cheese at restaurants)."
Samantha Cheung
Mac and Charlie Sandwich
This unique sandwich combines grilled cheese, mac and cheese, and fried chicken, offering a decadent and comforting experience.
"I had the Mac and Charlie sandwich with chicken. It was incredible. The serving size was very generous and it was delicious."
Natalie
Brussels Sprouts
These Brussels sprouts are prepared with a balsamic honey reduction, offering a sweet and tangy side dish that's a standout.
"Got a bit of everything BUT the brussel sprouts soaked in that balsamic honey reduction is chef's kiss!!"
Olivia Wilks
Coleslaw
A creamy, crunchy, and sweet coleslaw that provides a fresh contrast to the rich fried chicken dishes.
"the coleslaw was seriously SOOOOO creamy and crunchy and cold and SWEET and provided such a fresh touch to everything else."
