BEST WINGS I'VE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I could cry from happiness. The nachos too. it was a mountain of deliciousness, I only wish I had an extra stomach to eat more. The bartender was super chill, some loud college-aged patrons, but being on my own, traveling and tired, I still ended up having the most genuine and kind convos with some regulars. thank you for making my first night out in Philly so memorable. I ordered again a second night and the Philly cheesteak was GOOOOOOD!!!!

Wasn't packaged well as my Mozzarella Sticks were soggy since the lid was off the marinara sauce which spilled all in the contaner. Large Wings are good, not best I've had nor the best in the city. Tater Tots are advertised to come with cheese and bacon but they came plain for over $7.00. First time ordering and not sure if I will order again.

All around bad experience from this restaurant. The Bang Bang Shrimp came as a gooey puddle in a Togo box, the Mozzarella Sticks come with only 5 even though they show 6 in the photo and charge you 11$ for them.. "homemade marinara is no good either" will not be going here again.

I was craving a good homemade baked Mac n cheese, and the photo online was appealing. Unfortunately it didn't look just like it, more so scooped into a container. It was very good though! Def worth the price, you get A LOT!
The Mashed Potato Bowl was really good, my only feedback is to make the bacon pieces smaller, I hated how big they were a they were making me gag. BUT overall it was really good! Great for the price too.

There were some clear issues with frying. French Fries were undercooked and not crispy. Maybe 1/4 of the fries were so hard they were inedible (not sure what happened there since they weren't crispy?) Cheesesteak Spring Rolls not fried long enough. Chicken Cav's Nuggets were incredibly dry. Disappointing, we used to love Cavanaughs.
