I found TLC via a viral food review on Facebook! Traveled 30 minutes to try their food. Awesome…read moreexperience from ordering to tasting their smash burger and wing combo. It is a take-out restaurant, with limited outdoor seating, neighboring Chevron gas station and across from Lakewood Baptist Church. The food is made to order; my order was ready in 18 minutes. I got a single smash burger, fries, and kash (hot honey-lemon pepper mix) flavored wings (4 ct), and bottled drink--lunch plate combo for $21. Everything was yummy. The burger was delicious. The fries were good without dipping sauce. The wings were pretty good; they weren't fried crispy as requested, and I only tasted a hint of lemon pepper--definitely a sweeter sauce flavor. Overall, good tasting food here!! I hope you'll encounter Nina; she patiently answered my questions, aware that it was my first visit, and she offered for me to sample the TLC sauce ( house-made, mayo-based aioli). Great customer service! Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'd make the drive again for this meal!

Also worthy of note, the buns on the burger were significantly better than any bun I've had at a burger place. I'd guess they are getting them from a local bakery, they are that good.

We got a great table for our party and we ordered some drinks. My only complaint is I could tell our server as new at this because I felt quite forgotten at times as he would just disappear but otherwise it was a great experience! The cocktail menu had a bunch of great choices and I loved my drink! For an appetizer, we got a flat bread and some spinach and artichoke dip both of which were amazing! Super tasty and flavorful. For my main, I got the chicken caesar wrap with fries and this was a massive wrap! Super yummy and I loved that the salad was finely chopped.

We went late lunch during the week but it's hard to chalk it up to time of day. The burger was less than average. Maybe a different beef supplier than in the past. Small, overcooked, relatively flavorless. Tiny plate with few tots. May give it a try again when I'm up that way, and hope it was just a fluke. Service was slow for it being an after lunch and no one there.
