The fried chicken hype at this place is justified. The meat was tender and juicy and jus the right amount of batter. We order the half Bird (5 piece Chicken),the Juicy Lucy and a Cheese Burger with a Jug of Beer and Load Em Up Fries and Sweet Potato Fries as sides The Cheese Burger was aight but The Juicy Lucy was good also The Load Em Up Fries had Cheese,bacon and gravy and I gotta say that gravy made all the difference,it was soo good Would definitely come back again to eat here as the fried chicken was amazing Highly reccomended!

Funky pub food at its best. We ordered the cheeseburger (excellent) and the peach fried chicken burger which was super tasty but unruly to eat. The Mac n cheese would have been excellent if it wasn’t lacking a little salt.
