It is a gas station parking lot so the ambiance is found at home. I was disappointed with the Mac and Cheese - essentially warmed Velveeta, and the biscuits - both seem to be fried and not baked, but not as tasty as a good fritter or hush puppy. The honey biscuits seemed to have fake blueberries in them for some reason. The potato wedges were very good.

The first time we came, it was just after this reel went semi-viral so there were a bunch of people lined up. Upon entering, the staff immediately let us know they were having issues with the kitchen and that they had no idea when it would be back up. We decided to leave and return another time. The second time, I made an online pre-order. I decided to get the meal deal for 4 (and a separate order of the blueberry biscuit fried chicken sandwich) for the most variety. This deal includes: - Chicken Option: 8 pc tenders, 16 pc wings, or 16 pc nuggets. I went with the 16 pc wings. They were heavily battered, and the wings were cooked through and still juicy. I wasn't too wowed by them though. - 2 Sides: I went with the honey mustard pasta salad and chipotle potato salad. The pasta salad was soggier than expected, but flavors of both were pretty good. Chipotle potato had a nice kick. - Loaded Wedges: This was literally a potato quartered into 4 wedges. Tastewise, I really liked the seasoning they used on the potato though. I didn't care for the loaded part (cheese, bacon bits, green onion). - Choice of 5 sauces: Personally, the best part of the meal. Their sauces are on point. I went with the strawberry heat, pineapple pepper, XXX, fuego, honey mustard (accident; I wished I had gotten the hot honey blueberry bbq instead). - 4 Can Drinks: Cool I guess, but wished the deal was focused on the food options. The separate blueberry biscuit with chicken was also only just OK. The biscuit wasn't fluffy or buttery and the blueberries were there visually only (barely any blueberry taste). The chicken was fine and not dry at least! The wait the second time around also wasn't bad. I scheduled a 12:15PM order, and I think I got my food about 15-20 min later. Overall, it was a good one-time try!

Extremely extremely disappointed looked online looking for a place that had steak sandwiches or…read moreribs found this place online it said steak sandwiches were $11. I called and ordered two and an order of jalapeño poppers. I get there to pick it up. The young lady behind the bar says it's $48 that's excuse me $48. How does two sandwiches for $11 and an order of jalapeño poppers come up to 50 bucks and I showed her online what but it said on your guises online thing $11 for the sandwiches because all that's an old man she was $48 so the service was terrible. She was rude. I already posted on Facebook for people to be aware. I will never come back and to top it off. The food wasn't all that good solid. If your prices have changed, you should change them online. Also, there is a law against price gouging like this I don't expect a response, but just let everybody know beware.

Winner! Ordered it with no mayo, and a side salad with Italian dressing on the side. She said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I went on to get it shortly later. Greeted by a kind worker and order was ready. Abs brought to me. Paid for thw order and wished a good day! Very nice bar! Hidden little gem. Seriously though. It took a bit to find. You wouldn't know it's back there. Right, very end corner of the lot. Lunchtime! The sandwich is large. Already split in half. I had half and it was really good! Nice, spicy kick from the pepper jack cheese. Fresh bread, tomato and tasty Philly steak. The side salad was good. Fresh tomatoes, cheese and lettuce. Definitely missing something crunchy, like croutons, but still good! Good service and lunch! Recommended!

Ordered from the food truck today…read more Was craving spice today and boy did it hit the spot ! Got the 2 piece chicken tenders , fries and sauce flight for about $12, a steal because the portions are big. Ordered HOT and it was HOT! I can't imagine the extra hot. The sauce flight did cool down the heat. Although spicy , very flavorful still. Fries were great. Well seasoned and crispy. My only complaint is that they don't sell drinks !!!! Maybe not on this particular day or if they sell any at all. But they need to sell drinks to go with this spicy a** delicious chicken !!

Since she has graduated, I won't be in town anytime soon, but I highly recommend them for some good Thai and Laotian bites if you're ever in Merced! They have a selection of delicious dishes and I have loved everything that I've tried. My go-to orders are the Papaya Salad and Khao Poon. The papaya salad is a must and the spice level was the perfect amount. The Khao Poon is a coconut curry based noodle soup that is so flavorful. I've also come to really enjoy the Nam Khao (Laotian crispy rice salad), each bite is crunchy and absolutely delish. Your Asian comfort food cravings will definitely be satisfied here. Wishing The Papaya Lady continued success!

Located off on the corner of 16th Street and G (same plaza as Little Caesars), the Papaya Lady is actually tucked away inside a carniceria. The aisles of the market nearly block the counter to this little kitchen. It's the neon sign of "The Papaya Lady" buzzing that guides you to the back. We came in the late afternoon on a Saturday and they were already out of the fried chicken and sticky rice (next time!). We ended up ordering: Papaya Salad (extra spicy) - The little peppers in this gave the dish a nice kick. Super refreshing on a hot day. Nam Khao (crispy rice lettuce wrap with pork skin) - I highly enjoyed this one with all the crunchy textures and flavors. Will 100% get again. Khao Poon (noodle soup) - This broth had a subtle peanut flavor which was delicious. Wished it had more toppings. Nam Vanh (tapioca drink) - My drink seemed to lack the other jellies that I saw in other pictures and only had the lil tapioca balls, sweetener and coconut milk. It felt like it was missing something for sure. The owner is so nice and friendly. I don't know if it's a psychological thing, but every time he acknowledged or spoke to me, he used my name. It just felt automatically more warm and welcoming lol The price per portion is also legit. You get so much for what you pay. Our order kept me and the SO fed for almost 3 days. So nice to have some good Asian food in the Central Valley. Will definitely be back!

Lord where do I even START!! This place is amazing beyond belief I'm not kidding!…read more We made a reservation for a company luncheon with 16 of us. Made it 1 week in advance and they were set and ready for us! The employees are so sweet and helpful and the food came out before the other half of the table even finished ordering I'm not kidding! The fried chicken combo (3 piece) was phenomenal! I got Mac n cheese with yams and cornbread and then added on a chili for extra $ Everything was piping hot so it was very fresh. The chicken was juicy as all hell and that flavor oh my gosh! Best fried chicken I've ever had. The yams were so sweet and flavorful all the way through, and the Mac n cheese had a nice crust with the perfect creamy texture to it! The cornbread was as good as any and the chili beans had the perfect kick! I do prefer a more soupy meat based chili myself but no complaints here! A lot of my coworkers had the fried fish and were RAVING about it! The type of fish they use really shows in the taste and quality! The spicy fried fish was good as well and the sea food gumbo was also delicious all according to the table! Prices are to be expected, it's not your cheapest option but babe it's the yummiest so get on over there! The inside is cute and cozy and they accommodated our party size nicely. They had some good music playing in the kitchen too which we appreciated! Nonetheless DONT MISS THIS PLACE! Please come support and give them your business! Not too many soul food places in Fresno so make this your go to fr!
