Amazing Food and Service! We got Cleveland Hot Sandwich, Tenders, Burger, fries, Mac and cheese. A true gem and must stop!

Food is amazing, however, I can no longer eat here since they took away the one item I was able to eat, the Mahi Mahi as I don’t eat meat other than fish but I understand this is a chicken restaurant. I’ve been coming here for years and tell everyone about it, often get gift cards here for birthdays and holidays for people so they’ll try it. I really love their house sauces ESPECIALLY the ranch! The cornbread and fries are great as well. I rarely leave reviews but this place is great and the staff is always so friendly. I really hope they consider bringing back the Mahi Mahi because I would love to have the option to eat here again since it was my favorite place in SE!

Chicken ranch always hits. The best chicken spot in Cleveland that I’ve been to. The to go orders are always hot and ready to go right on time. Can’t go wrong with any of the sandwiches or the crispy tenders. Gotta mix the comeback and Cleveland hot sauces together to dip the tenders in. Inside the restaurant is not usually very busy.

Food was great, especially for craving a good chicken sandwich. Breading on the chicken was flavorful and crispy. Really good portions. I heard about the chicken usually not being cook all the way through so I asked them to cut my sandwich in half to make sure. Friendly staff and did my request without complaint. Will definitely go again.

Was a bit chilly inside, but the chicken and Mac and cheese were absolutely delicious. Korean barbecue sandwich was one of the best things I've eaten in months. Sauces are totally delicious and creative. I'll be back as often as my health can withstand.

Sandwiches were great and weren't a long wait. Food was very fresh and hit the spot. Will definitely go back, but will do carryout next time. No beer; just soft drinks.

My husband and I stumbled upon this gem in the wild, and wow. So so good. The Korean sandwich was stellar. Tenders were hot and crispy. Cornbread was yummy. Sauces were great. Def recommend.

Wow, this place had amazing food. The wife had three tenders and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was creamy and great. The tenders were real chicken and hand breaded. I got the Nashville hot chicken with crispy chicken, real chicken and hand breaded as well, it was 10 but it is a large serving, I was not expecting the amount of food for that amount of money. But to conclude. We both enjoyed our meals and will be returning again in the future.
