The store front is so clean and has really cool art inside. The people are friendly and the food, omg the food. My mouth was watering on the drive home it smelled amazing. Good price and the flavor is so good. I got the party wings and fries. The buffalo is a slow build heat and the chicken is moist. The fries were so delicious. They were not seasoned with just salt and pepper. There was a little zestiness that brought it to a new level. My mom had the sweet potato casserole and green beans. She was raving the whole time about how good and seasoned everything was. She said the sweet potato casserole was legit. We didnt have the desserts but they looked well worth it. Next time

I ordered catering delivery for an office meeting and everything was perfect! The food is absolutely fantastic. Everyone was raving about the chicken, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and their sauces - we got the buffalo, parmesan, and BBQ sauce. They responded super fast to emails, stayed within my set budget, arrived on time, and set everything up beautifully!! They were well-prepared with the sauce bottles, chafing dished, silverware, and food labels. It is evident they really care.
