Staff is always nice and the food is hot every time. I hate soggy room temp takeout but they make it fresh every. single. time. My go-to order is the catfish, okra, and corn nuggets. Wings are good too.

**UPDATED REVIEW** June and Erica reached out and assured me that their customers matter!! They were so kind and considerate. They gave me a meal on the house and this time was a much better experience!! I say give them a chance because they care, and the food is great!! We will be back I visited the location with the hopes of finding a great local seafood place... I was very disappointed! The service was subpar, and the wait was not terrible, but I felt unsafe... once my order was brought out to me, I told the young lady that I was not given my drink, and she rudely said, pull up to the door, and it took her another 5 minutes to bring it out! I get home and start eating, only to realize the purchase was a complete waste of money! The food tasted like it was cooked in burnt oil, and if you have ever tasted that, you can understand how it tasted... also do not pay for the cheesecake because you can find the same quality in a grocery store... overall, I gave two stars because of the initial lady who was kind to me in the drive-thru. I tried to call about the food, but I was left on hold forever!

We got two wings and fries combos. One wet lemon pepper and one hot. Both were delicious. Highly recommend. Well priced and yummy.

This place is incredible. I had always driven by it and never paid it much attention until today. My wife wanted a hole-in-the-wall looking place and this location popped into my head. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with 6 wings sweet and sour, Cajun ranch fries and a Pepsi. It did not take too long for the food to be ready, it was an average wait time. After all, you cannot rush perfection. Cheese was cheesy and steak was tender, seasoned to perfection along with the peppers. Bread was soft and fluffy. Wings were crispy, had the perfect crunch when bitten and sauce was fantastic. Fries were fresh and crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Even the Pepsi tasted good, it did not taste watered down and funky. Inside of establishment is clean, and customer service is great. I will be coming back.

My favorite location! The wings are great with many flavors to choose from. Combos are reasonably priced as well. Cheeseburger on texas toast, you say? Certified. Great customer service as well. Will be back!
