Jasmine AyeDecember 29, 2011I was here a few days ago. Don't get the fried pickles, they are less pickle, more batter. The lunch chicken Philly is mostly mushrooms and bread, limited chicken. Split a burger and fries.Upvote3Downvote- I absolutely love this place. Bring your appetite cause your gonna need it for these serving sizes.UpvoteDownvote

Mahala LogueNovember 15, 2010The onion rings are good, but a bad idea, especially if you plan on getting an entree. The grease from the onion rings is still making my stomach wave the white flag a day later.Upvote1Downvote
