I've long wanted to become a vegetarian but tbh this place is one of the only places that would prevent me from becoming one fully.

Fast service with friendly servers. My group and I were pretty satisfied with the food. The chicken and waffle I had was great. The white meat chicken wasn't dry, and it was well seasoned. The waffle was crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. I'd rather they put the syrup on the side next time tho. Would come back again! Parking was easy to find on the street. Nice and modern decor on the inside.

Resurrecting my Yelp from the dead just to shout out this fun place. Stopped in for an early dinner, alone, a few weeks ago on a lovely evening in between working. I ordered at the counter and decided to go out into their lovely patio in the back to wait on my food . When I ordered at the counter I had originally ordered something else but quickly changed my order when I realized I wanted something else instead. When my food came out, I realized they had actually placed both orders instead of the second one. I let the server know I had meant to only order the last order but honestly didn't even make a stink about it because I love their food so much and that would have just gone in the air fryer for lunch the next day. I was so impressed when a female manager overheard and came over and kindly offered to remove the first order off my tab. Great customer service all around here. This has quickly become my families go-to chicken spot. Both my partner and daughter are pretty picky eaters and they both enjoy things from the meñu here. My daughter and I are OBSESSED with the honey butter biscuits and the gorgeous patio is a plus! Also, they serve some really good local craft beers and cocktails.

When did these lovelies come to town! Oooohhhhh! Juicy chickie tenders and sweet cornbread bites with HELLO! Honey butter! Straight Outta Chicago, IL these folks dropped by and delighted us with their chicken. It's delicious. I order the chicken tenders which comes with 2 cornbread bites, I didn't know that so I ordered a side of muffin bites, cornbread muffins with a side of honey butter. So good! Very addictive. The tenders are fried with cayenne and paprika and dang if they're not the juiciest tastiest chickie tenders in the fried chicken world! I also ordered the pimento mac n cheese and it's exactly that. I didn't care for it because I'm a traditional mac n cheese kinda gal but it is tasty. I do like pimento but on crackers around the holidays. It's different. Everything is really good quality. Give them a try and definitely order a side of muffin bites with an extra honey butter!

YALL. Always a treat to eat here. The sweet chili BBQ chicken tenders are yum. I just got a whole basket for myself and it was plenty. Also the special blood orange lemonade is divine!!! Also, the back patio seating is lovely. Spacious, shaded, hip & fun, and a great atmosphere to enjoy. Food came fresh & quickly. Servers were hospitable!

It was my first time at this spot and I'm out of town but the fact that it wasn't busy around 1p for late lunch was awesome! As an adult, if you're wanting to try a little of everything I highly recommend the KID's meal and they won't make you feel bad at all for ordering it! :) 100% recommend the sauces they have and the jalapeño one is actually amazing as well as the classic honey butter. This is a super casual spot and the staff is very nice. Food is delicious and I'd absolutely return!

Think they renovated lately. Weekends they start brunch at 10 am now until 3 pm, check their website for the latest! The chicken is tender and fried to perfection. Portions are a little small but I'd take quality over quantity. Staff is very friendly. The chicken waffle was amazing, fluffy and crispy on the edges with just a touch of savory.
