We walked in and the restaurant wasn't even busy, but it took almost 15 minutes just for someone to acknowledge us and take our order.After waiting another 35 minutes, our food finally came out lukewarm. To make it worse, the staff looked like they couldn't care less and were completely disorganized behind the counter. For a brand new location in an old Pizza Hut building, you'd think management would make sure employees are properly trained. Absolutely terrible service and a total waste of time. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Not only did they meat my expectations, but they grilled right past them! "One taste is all it takes" and they weren't wrong about that! The sauce that they served with the ribs really set it over the edge. I'll definitely be checking out more of their menu soon!

Okay the wings were good but I didn't order 40 wings and that's what I got!…read more I ordered 10 wings and 2 orders of chicken fried rice. Instead of them letting me know they ran out, they just sent me 40 wings. You can't just send people the wrong food without an explanation. I'm south Asian and needed some rice yesterday. But if you want to eat whatever they want to give you, this is the place for you lol. The lemon pepper wings were really good though. These wings are mini sized. Each wing has two bites in them. I liked it because it was easy to finish 10 of them. If that's not your thing, skip this place.

This place seriously impressed me from start to finish. The wings are the real star. They're loaded…read morewith flavor in every bite, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. You can tell they don't just toss on sauce and call it a day. Every wing is juicy, well-seasoned, and completely satisfying. The burgers are also excellent. Big, flavorful, and done right. Unlike a burger I had here before (a long time ago lol), the ones I've had since aren't messy or falling apart halfway through eating. They're cooked well, hold together nicely, and actually let you enjoy the flavors without wearing half of it home. The sides and drinks take things to another level. The peach tea is smooth, refreshing, and sweet, sweet, sweeeeeeet. It pairs perfectly with the food. And the Cajun ranch cheese fries are incredible. Delicious fries, bold seasoning, creamy ranch, and just the right amount of cheese. They're SO addictive in the best way. On top of the great food, the people here truly make the experience better. Everyone is kind, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. You don't feel rushed or ignored. They take the time to make sure your order is right and that you're enjoying everything. Overall, this spot checks every box. Amazing wings, solid burgers, standout sides, great drinks, and friendly service. It's the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit

For dinner I had the Gumbo and my girlfriend had the salad with shrimp, crab, and crawfish. The gumbo was seasoned excellently and tasted just how I make it at home in like 7 hours. My girlfriend's salad was amazing with the homemade ranch. We came in late and the service was still top notch. Finished off with banana pudding and my girlfriend said it was the best she's ever had. We were just in town for the weekend but to anyone looking for a place, do it!

Two weeks ago I had a salad with blackened grouper fish. My daughter has tried and I've sampled the seafood quesadillas and it too was good. Each meal is cooked fresh to order and worth the wait.

Upon entering, we told Mr Oli (the owner) that it was our first visit. Not only did he explain the menu in great detail to us, but he gave us samples of the chicken salad, lamb and baklava while we made our decision on what we were ordering. I had my mind set on the chicken kabobs, but changed after he showed me a plated salmon meal. It was cooked just as I like it so I ordered one for myself. My guy, who isn't big on trying new things, opted for the lemon pepper wings and fries combo. However, he did agree to try the gyro meal on our next visit. We also ordered a special dessert Mr Oli told us was a secret recipe from his wife that could only be found at his restaurant. I was excited to try it! A short time later, our food was brought to our table by Mr Oli. My salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. The salad was fresh and the dressing complemented it well. The pita bread was served warm and the hummus was creamy and flavorful. My guy enjoyed his wings and said that he could taste the special touch Mr Oli put on them. The dessert was something special. Crispy, and fried golden with a unique taste, it definitely was something we would order again on our next visit. It wasn't sweet but met the needs of a sweet tooth calling. If that makes any sense, lol. The creamy cheese filling reminded me of a decadent cheesecake. The ambiance gave quaint neighborhood eatery. As we sat and waited on our food, we saw regulars come in and order. They chatted with Mr Oli as he prepared their orders. He's super friendly and I want to see his business thrive. Great customer service, delicious, healthy food at comparable prices makes for a 5 star review. I can't wait to return for the chicken kabobs!

She was quirky, fun, and knew the menu! The food was great, it was exactly the way you want these classics to taste. It was fresh, flavorful, and the prices per portion were just right.

The restaurant is historic and has all the vibes of a classic eatery that make you feel good. We loved it, best meal I've had in a long while. In a sea full of Sysco restaurants, this place and its staff... stand out. Thank you!

Fortunately, this is a big restaurant and I had reservations! The decor in here is very old chic. It reminded me of my dad's favorite Italian restaurant in South Philly. He would love it here. We were seated fairly quick and provided with menus including a summer cocktail menu. I got a peach martini which was fabulous. Hubby ordered a banana breeze cocktail but they were out of banana liquor. He was bummed. Instead he got the strawberry Long Island iced tea. I tasted it and it was really good. We ordered our entrees which came with a salad or gumbo. I got the gumbo. It was sooo good. I enjoyed every bite. For my entree I got the Texas special which has the Greek steak, chicken and the seafood au gratin. All of it was delicious. I loved everything. Highly recommend especially if you want to try a little of everything. Of course, we had to get dessert. I had to try the baklava cheesecake since that seemed to be popular. Hubby got the chocolate almond pie. Hubby's was really really good. Mine was interesting for sure. Hubby tried it and said it tasted like pumpkin and he was right! Normally I love pumpkin but I didn't love this. It was okay. I just wouldn't get it again. Service was great. Lots of people coming around refilling drinks, bringing food, taking away plates, etc. we will be back for sure!

Ordering was easy and the people up front were super nice. Did I mention the food came out quick? It was just as delicious as it was quick. I went with an order of the Asian zing wings. They were sauced up the way I like it and the chicken itself was crispy and juicy. The sauce itself was unique and bold. I had a spoon to eat the leftover sauce on my to-go container. A coworker of mine had the Philly. While I didn't try it I can verify that based off their reaction that it was incredible. There's not many tables to eat here, as this seems more of the place to grab a lunch to go. I see more visits in my future!
