4.0
Cute spot. Love that they do all different events like karaoke and bingo! Wings were okay. Def needed sauce. To me it kinda reminded me of KFC or Popeyes but less greasy on how it was breaded. Crunchy. The chicken parm was a good size portion. It was good. Can’t complain. Brought the leftovers home the mushrooms were wonderful! The burger was very standard. Food was normal not exquisite that was like OMG. Service was wonderful. Atmosphere was cozy. I would probably come back for bingo and karaoke and possibly try other things - Emma Rogers
