How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Great staff, great atmosphere, but the tenders weren't as good as Daves Hot Chicken(all be it still really good). Better options amd sides then Daves.

Loved it. It was amazing I would say it is pretty similar to Dave’s Hot Chicken except there were more options.

Food absolutely slaps. Price is mid to high but worth it. I like going to a chicken place with more than just chicken! The burgers and fries are both fire! 2 things though... 1. If you pay with cash, they do not give change. It is NOT clearly marked. So even if they owe you 99c in change, they are basically stealing and probably against some kind of consumer protection laws since its not marked. I think thats fine because then i wont tip and be totally justified in not doing so. 2. The lids for the cups are by the counter, not the soda machine. I find that to be counter intuitive.
