The Friday fish was not good and wouldn't get ever again. But the Wednesday chicken and dumplings was awful. Even my husband wouldn't eat it and he was in the army and not a picky eater. For one thing it was supposed to be dumplings and it was like they tossed a hard biscuit in the overly salty mess. We would ever get either again. Sorry these specials are a big fat NO.
