“Before I ordered i didnt notice how close it was to closing time. They close at 630pm I completed my order at 620 when I realizedthey were about to close . I told them I can cancel it if they already had everything cleaned but they didnt mind. Great food cooked to order. Not fastfood if u want quality this is the place to be. Will be adding it to my maps for when im passing through again. Cheesecake is awesome too made by cottons blue brand! Took about 20mins , they had to drop more fries in.”

“We visit when we can considering it’s about an hour & 12 minute drive for us . The chicken today was very salty , the rice had lots of juice in it (not normally like that) so it’s flavor watered down like - but overall still was good I ate my roll of course & my husband had the shrimp plate -”
