"The Gum-Gum Fruit Lemonade was very tasty. Only 3 pickles on the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, more of a spicy just to be spicy with not enough flavor. Next time I would get it with added cheese.

"The Philly Cheese Steak was bigger than my head and absolutely delicious. Most places would charge $15 - $20 for a Cheesesteak that size, only $10 here! The Chicken Over Rice with the Spicy Rice was packed full of flavor in every bite, especially when paired with their sauces! If you can't handle spice, be very wary or the hot sauce! The 6 Pc.

The sandwiches were sizable, filled with an excellent mix of what they described perfectly cooked and grilled. The fries were on point, crispy and seasoned The onion rings were also crispy and savory. Priced reasonably. This place slams"
"Probably my favorite real I've ever gotten. I'm not usually a sandwich person, but this was phenomenal. The fries were perfectly salted and peppered just right to the point where it was yummy delicious The sandwich was even better. It was the perfect amount of soft, but like a hint of crunchy and without the caramelized onions, it was phenomenal and I definitely will be ordering again for lunch It's just such a wonderful rich amount of flavor and it's perfectly made to such perfection and I enjoyed every second of eating it and will be having it again "
