The bartender did good, 2 sips in and my chest burns in a good way lol"

"DRUNKEN BIRD--Chicken Marsala was very good--the chicken was grilled beautifully, still juicy. Most restaurants bread the chicken and pan fry it; but grilled tastes so much better, gives another layer of flavor. And, the Marsala sauce on top had plenty of mushrooms and a great flavor. There was plenty of sauce too. Very good-sized portions of chicken and sides. Everything was packaged nicely, so it arrived in good shape. The mashed potatoes were homemade, not from a mix, so good! The green beans with onions and garlic were excellent; those are tricky to get right, not too crunchy, but not cooked to death either. And the green beans had plenty of sautéed onions, and perfect amount of garlic, not overbearing. I usually am not too excited about sauteed green beans, because I've had some bad ones--some half raw, some with no flavor, some too oily. But, everything was cooked perfectly. We would definitely order this meal again."
"I've enjoyed everything we've ordered from here. We usually get the DRUNKEN CHICKEN. It has great flavor. The grill on the chicken is perfect, plus the Marsala sauce is so good. It comes with a good portion of mashed potatoes and veggie of the day."

"Nashville Mac fries and hot Cheeto Mac n Hot Cheeto Mac & Cheese - Large really good!!! A lot of food !!!"
"Food was good but there were some issues with the overall experience. The ranch was spilled which dripped under the boxes, causing the bag to rip. I guess it was an accident but then the first Sweet Potato Fries - Regular I go to eat was stuck together and had a weird slimy texture. I'm assuming it was the oil but seeing that made my appetite sour. I try to move on to the Cup of Seasoned Street Corn. At first I thought it had a few char burns from a grill but most of the corn was just brown and grey. I share a picture of this other street corn from H-E-B to show it was not just grill marks. The rest of the meal was ok and I did enjoy the Mac and cheese. Overall 2.5/5 experience. I understand accidents happen but the quality of the food also matters."

And I also didn't appreciate how they wrapped my veggies and just placed them in the bag rather than a paper carton. Other than that, the taste was delicious!"
