I ordered a single smash burger and this is what I got. I grabbed my food and sat down, realized that the order wasn’t correct, and immediately went back. The buns were soggy and deflated from all the margarine. It seems like it’s been sitting there for a while. It was just bread, meat, cheese and no condiments, pickles or onions at all! Well, they closed the gate and wouldn’t come over to talk to me, they kept washing dishes and putting things away. I asked 3 times for at least some pickles and they kept saying, “I’ll be over in 2 minutes” so after 5 min of waiting I walked away and ate my soggy plain burger. Why didn’t they tell me they were out of ingredients or something? Why did they avoid talking to me? Pretty bad service.

Searching for Nashville Hot Chicken I found this place. They don’t serve N.H.C. but the menu looked decent with a small variety of items. I had the three piece wing combo with crinkle cut fries, Texas toast, and pickles. The chicken was good, really hot and fresh. The fries and the comeback sauce were ok, not hot like the chicken but not cold either. Texas toast was the perfect mop for the drippings off the chicken and the pickles were a nice touch.

way too overpriced for the buffalo loaded fries.They legit threw like 10 fries in my order and tried to justify it with the popcorn chicken pieces. Definitely not worth $13.80. You could get more at another locally owned restaurant for the same price.

I don’t often leave reviews of places I’ve eaten from but this is my favorite hot fried chicken place! And I’ve tried quite a few. All are good but this place gets as close to Nashville, Tennessee style chicken a SoCal guy can get. I tried the tacos and the sliders, WOW! They have a great selection on their menu from wings to breakfast burritos. Looking forward to trying something else on the menu and try their “hot” level of flavor.

I am really disappointed because I ordered food to-go and the burger was not included in the bag. I enjoyed the rest of the food, but it was a huge buzzkill to waste money on the missing item.

This place has fantastic fried chicken. Went there for the first time tonight and got their hottest chicken slider. So tasty, good heat, good sauce. The sliders themselves were simply awesome.

I don’t know where to start… The chicken was okay at best. I really wish y’all had not put pickles on my 3 tender, completely ruined one. The menu didn’t even say anything about pickles with the meal, so why would you put that on there? Also, for “no spice” it was pretty hot on the lips. Next, the Mac and cheese… Why would you drown it in oregano? Sure a little bit to add taste, but damn it only tasted like oregano. Otherwise might have been okay. Then the Texas “toast”… Was just bread… Plain, UNTOASTED, Texas bread… What?!

Ordered the loaded wedges and it was Delicious! Went for the hottest level for the dish, and it was not disappointment. My husband loved it as well! We were so sad to notice it is local and not in bay area yet, so u happen to be in the area, it is a must try.
