    Diana P.

    Stopped here on our way home for an early dinner. I had a turkey club sandwich and fries. My hubby had the all you can eat ribs. He was very pleased with the ribs. He had 2 large helpings. We both thought the fries were very flavorful and crispy. The restaurant was new, clean, with a modern decor. Our service was friendly and attentive. The prices were fair and meals were plentiful. We were very pleased with our visit.

    Very good food, great service. I drive in from up north on purpose to eat there. Then broasted chicken is the best around.

    Great breakfast! Biscuits and gravy and hash browns. Free BJ's for any Hispanic males made my breakfast special.

You order your food at the door then sit down and they bring it to you when ready. I ordered the og sando and truffle fries. The fries were ok and the sando was pretty solid. It's a massive sandwich and could easily feed 2-3 people. It was a couple meals for me. If i lived in the area, i would probably come back. Good food and good vibes. Service was nothing special.

    The person at the front entryway where you could order takeout was so super friendly and helpful…read more He seemed very passionate about his job. I got some tenders for my kids, a medium spice sandwich for myself and a special pbj burger for my husband. We also got some truffle fries, onion rings, and jalapeño curds. The chicken was high quality and well battered. The tenders were large, and so was the sandwich. My husband loved his weird pbj sandwich. Unfortunately I discovered the medium spice sauce was essentially spicy BBQ and I hate BBQ it was described to me as "similar to wing sauce" so I was thinking of red hot wing sauce. Thats on me! Can't hold that against them. My husbaad ate both somehow. The truffle fries I wouldn't order again. They were thin shoestring and very greasy with some parm shaved over the top. The jalapeño curds were good. They also forgot our onion rings which was a bummer. I didnt realize til we were on the road and we didnt want to go back.

We went to Bonchon for lunch today and I got the 2 spicy chicken taco lunch special for $9.99 and my friend got the fried (not spicy) chicken taco special and both were great! Chunks of tender chicken, coleslaw with buttermilk ranch and spicy mayo. I added a side of the Korean Cucumber Salad with onion and red pepper flakes. Sliced, crisp cucumber with just a tiny heat. Delicious! They also have a full dinner menu and full bar with interesting drink specials. Love the Korean Chicken, Shrimp and Beef Specialties! Lots of Vegetarian options too. Our server, Jill was super friendly. Helpful and attentive. Atmosphere is casual and the modern dining room is large enough for big groups and cozy enough for two! If you are tired of fast food and chains, give Bonchon a try, you will probably see me there as I will be back here soon! Kate the Artist

Certainly will be back during my brief visit. I wish there was a 4.5 as the food was good. My only down side is the boneless were cooked a tad bit harder than I prefer, but did not take away from the flavor.
