The restaurant is so much bigger and livelier and were so excited to see all of their success. Definitely come early to be able to try their brisket and Tony Mac! You wont regret anything you try but those are defnitely our favorites. Oh and the ribs, if you're looking for the incredible smokey juicy flavor look no further. Any of their bbq sauces are great and pair well, but we highly recommend giving their original a go because of the perfect balance of sweet, savory, with a bit of a kick.

I used the drive thru to take my order and there's wasn't many people there at the time. But normally this place can get packed. They do have a couple of tables inside for indoor seating. I ordered the 8 piece family pack. Which comes with a whole chicken with green onions and jalapeños and 3 sides. I got rice, mashed potatoes, and extra green onions. Everything is so delicious. It also comes with 4 sauces. 2 red ones and 2 different green ones. My favorite is the lighter green one. It has a little kick but it's still pretty good.

My go-to flavors are the Cheesking and the Mala Spicy--both are packed with flavor. For me, the real standout for me was the tteokbokki. The sauce is incredible--it has a mild sweetness from tamarind that really elevates the whole dish and keeps you coming back for more. I'd honestly come back just for that sauce! I had to order one to go. The chef even came out after our meal to check in and offered candy to all the kids. Such a thoughtful touch--great hospitality all around. Definitely come support them when you're craving wings!

The computer was able to get everything I said correctly. There's no screen to see if the order was taken correctly, so you just have to trust the computer heard you. After ordering the classic mothercruncher with cheese, no tomato, fries, and a 4pc monsterella stix, I pulled up to the window. The employee told me my price and my food were made pretty quickly. Everything was nice and hot. I love their mozzarella sticks and the marinara sauce that comes with them. Checkers has some of the best seasoned fries around. The chicken sandwich was good but not my favorite. I may stick to their burgers. They are one of the few things around that close if you need a late night snack this could be for you.

Absolutely recommended with 5 stars!…read more I heard about this restaurant from TikTok as it is rated the #1 restaurant in Lake County, and now I see why! We stopped in for some lunch. We were greeted by owner Marlene, who is absolutely wonderful. We placed our order and got some fresh lemon water. I ordered the lunch special Chicken and Gyro plate, and he ordered the Lamb Kabob Plate. While we waited for the food, we chatted with Marlene, and we were given some baklava (love that stuff). My goodness, the aroma coming from my plate was so good. The meats were cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were just right. He told Marlene that was not his first choice for food, but this meal changed his mind. The pitas and sauces were delicious as well. The presentation is nice, and portion sizes are large. I brought some home. I feel so bad because I forgot to tip, which is crazy for us. But, this just means we have to return soon and give a large tip. Don't skip trying this place. You won't be disappointed! Closed on Sunday, so plan accordingly.

At first from the outside it looked like it was closed, but I don't judge it on the looks of the outside of the building. I ordered the original cheesesteak hoagie, and it did not disappoint. It's not the healthiest sandwich in the world, but it's not supposed to be. The staff seemed like it was the same staff from Highwood many years ago. When I opened it up out of the package, that distinct smell hit and I was pleasantly surprised at how it tasted just like it did back in the day. The 6 inch was just perfect and I'll definitely be back for when I have this craving again.
