The drink is a fountain drink a sweeten raspberry tea and I added lemonade to it to make my own Arnold Palmer. I also got one of the cookies, which was the salted maple cookie and it all cost before tip about $16 bucks. We now walked in, was greeted by the cook in the back and the gentleman at the register. Very inviting very helpful because it was my first time being there which made me very happy. They're seating inside. There's a TV on the wall that has sports on it. I was looking at anime so I didn't pay attention, but it was a nice base and not too loud.Not too quiet it's okay. The food was amazing. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy inside of the soft tortilla wrap it has just enough lettuce, just enough pickle, it was so good.I ate the whole thing with the tots in one sitting my plan was just to only eat half but I couldn't stop eating it. This is definitely a place to check out.

It's also very cold inside which didn't help with keeping my food warm. The sneaky sauce I got on the side was so extremely salty that I didn't try it more than once. I would maybe come here again but I would definitely get something different.

    I've had Chickenhug on my list of restaurants I've been wanting to eat at for a while. We were…read moregoing to an event in Tempe so we thought we'd stop in for dinner beforehand. The restaurant has a lot right next to it for easy parking; it's a pretty small place with only a few tables but while we were there, it seemed most people order takeout as we were the only ones dining there. For me, my husband, and my son, we ordered the whole chicken meal. Since our son was eating too, we got the chicken as half original and half garlic basil. They have options of getting the chicken over rice, fries, veggies, or any combination of the three, so we went with all three. It was served with two pieces of pita, coleslaw, garlic sauce, spicy sauce, and yogurt sauce. It was an ample amount of food for all of us. The chicken was very tender and fell off the bone. There was a lot of rice, lesser amount of fries and veggies; I understand the concept of serving everything platter style, but it would've been better if the fries were served separately as they got soggy when covered with rice and from the juices that dripped off the chicken. I think the biggest issue with the food was that every single item was overly salty. You can see in pictures that they coat their chicken in a lot of seasoning, and then if you ask for one of the sauces (garlic basil, spicy, or smokey BBQ), it's added on top of that. The fries too had a lot of seasoning. Veggies were perhaps a little less seasoned, the rice was also salted. I did appreciate the simplistic menu. If items are made with less salt and other spices are retained, this would be a really great meal to share family style. If you're in the area, check them out. Everyone was friendly, food came out pretty quick after we ordered.

Be careful if you're sensitive to heat because it does have a little spice kick to it. It's expertly cooked and we all liked it. I had a side of the fried okra which was second to none and some turnip greens that I relished. Gus's has a pleasant atmosphere and is nestled in an old warehouse I believe.

There is sidewalk seating for days with good weather, and the dining room has several tables, too. There is a counter to order to-go for, or you can sit and eat at the counter. The decor seems perfect for fried chicken eating--lots of exposed brick, and some interesting paintings of blues artists. Our server today was a real easy of sunshine. He seemed to have a genuine smile on his face the entire time. I commented to my friend that he just seemed like a happy guy. The manager came by and asked how everything was. I love when managers check in! If you have never been to Gus's, put it in your list! You won't be sorry!

On the way home, it felt like a sneakybird dinner. The staff is always pleasant and today was no different. Aleah welcomed me as I walked in. Gavin came over as I was debating what to order and expressing my appreciation for the restaurant. Jaeden was the manager on duty. I love that everyone in this family run business is so pleasant. It makes a difference. It was a slow afternoon since it was well before dinner. If you have not experienced sneakybird, this is your encouragement. Today I got 2 8-piece wings with tater tots. One with the garlic butter Parmesan rub and both tossed in teriyaki sauce. Of course, my order was all flats. I also order a side of Sneaky Slaw to try. The spice isn't for me but I added a "secret" ingredient and enjoyed my dinner. The decor is bright and inviting. The music is at a decent level. The restroom is always clean. Winning with sneakybird!

I got the chicken sandwich, while my sister got the tenders. Between the two, I'd say the tenders were the better choice. The sandwich was good, just a little too salty for me, but it was huge, so definitely come with an appetite. Overall, the food tasted fresh and made with good ingredients. I'd definitely come back to try something different next time.

If you follow him on his Social Media pages he says where he will be. I've had it pinned for months in my Yelp Collection. So worth the wait.

    This is my first and only experience with Kings. I ordered food at an event for a friend from…read moreKings based on what she saw others had ordered because it looks great. My friend and I waited and waited for the food. I opened the order when I got it before leaving the window and the lady working the window gave me someone else's food. Thankfully, and the other customer recognized their order and got their food just fine. The lady working the window apologized, gave me a water, and I waited longer. She apologized again and said that they'd bring the food to me. They didn't bring the food and instead gave part of my order to a different friend to bring to me. I went back and asked for the rest of the order. The lady working the window said that she gave me my order. I said no, we only got part of it. She then became unbelievably inappropriate saying that I'm lying, stealing from a Black man business owner, not well, and all kinds of things that were uncalled for because they were paid nearly $40 for the order plus a 20% tip! I told my friend what happened and to do a charge back. I went back again with the partial order to try and explain that this was all that was received. Instead, the woman working the window immediately started berating me, threatening to embarrass me, and other things that were incredibly unhelpful to reconcile the situation. Mind you, I am not the type to act a fool and was at the event representing an organization so at no time did I raise my voice or return the treatment I received from this business. She asked what I wanted her to do and I told her that a refund because I know how chargebacks are bad for small businesses. She said okay and asked for the last 4 digits of the card, so I had to get them from my friend. I went back to my friend to get the numbers, got back in line to give them to her, and I gave them to her. She asked why I kept getting back in line...well, how else was I supposedto get help because that line was the only line. Instead of refunding my friend, the lady shut the window, talked to the owner, and reopened the window and started taking more orders. I got back in line again to find out if the refund had been done and she said that they were not going to refund and there was nothing else that they could do. I told my friend this and she's going to move forward hopefully with the chargeback. Mind you if the order and had been fulfilled correctly, then I wouldn't have had to go back multiple times asking for the order nor would I be writing this negative review. Our other friends who actually got their orders said the food was good, so there's that I suppose. This type of exchange is why so many businesses fail. Simple things like decent service and order management. I was not the only person waiting for an extended period. I was not the only person whose order was messed up. I encourage this business to invest in an digital order taking CMS and not writing things in dark pen on the boxes themselves. If digital order taking isn't possible for now, and that's OK if it is, then invest in guest check server notepads. They are less than $10 on Amazon. The orders can be written on them with customers' names and phone numbers, the bottom can be torn off for customers to have while they are waiting for food, and, in order for a customer to receive their order, they must surrender the torn off portion. Doing something either electronically or handwritten like explained would provide a system for checks and balance instead of relying on someone's memory. Also, consider coaching, retraining, and/or replacing the woman that was working the window today as her behavior is bad for business. She was not able to or chose not to maintain composure, decorum, and handle the pressure of all of the customer traffic. Though I did not get loud, she did get loud with me and other customers saw this every time she did this. That affects business. Her choices and behavior today cost this business vending opportunities with me, my employer, the organization I was representing at today's event, and probably with other customers who saw her disrespect, treatment, and unkindness towards me.
