★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Super cool and friendly owner, they have 3 locations and opening a fourth. Burger bun was soft, burger juicy and fresh. Lettuce and tomato were crispy and the sauce had a nice punch. It was served with coleslaw and pickles and a mound of fries. The French fries did require just a little bit longer in the fryer, seasoned great though. The mild Nashville hot chicken was one of the juiciest I've had, the heat was just enough to creep up on you. The zesty sauce was a nice accompaniment to the chicken. He offered me the firefighter discount and made recommendations of what to order. 2 meals and 2 sodas came to $26 and change. That's value! Be sure to stop in. Food is made fresh and takes only about 10 minutes to prepare. He told me that they get fresh meat delivered 4am daily. It shows.
September 23 · james luskiZalim Hot Chicken & Burgers is an absolute knockout! The food here doesn’t just taste good, it blows your taste buds away. Every single burger on the menu is phenomenal, but the butter chicken sandwich and the Nashville chicken sandwich are on another level of flavor. The loaded fries, whether you go beef or chicken, are stacked, saucy, and seriously addictive.On top of that, the customer service is excellent, friendly, fast, and welcoming. To top it all off, the kids were treated to free ice cream, which sealed the deal for us. Places like this are rare: incredible food, amazing service, and a family-friendly vibe that makes you want to come back again and again.Five stars all the way, highly, highly recommend!
September 14 · Hussein ShareenzadaDelicious chicken shawarma platter with fries and side salad and the honey butter chicken sandwich. The French fries were hot and crispy. Looking forward to my leftovers! Staff was friendly, I loved the atmosphere in here. Very well decorated, nice music and landscape video playing. Cute little claw game too for kids. Great addition to the area!
September 05 · Allison DamicoOn our trip from Delaware to Vermont, we made a quick stop to grab a bite to eat. Tucked away in a little shopping center, we stumbled across an absolute gem—hands down the BEST burger spot… and to our surprise, they also serve an incredible Butter Chicken platter that’s out of this world! 🌟This hidden jewel is now on our list to follow wherever it goes. A MUST-GO spot! 🍔🍛✨
August 19 · Kelli DiSabatinoI got the chicken shawarma and it was so good. The food was freshly made and very hot when served, the fries were perfectly cooked. The chicken had to be the best thing tasted. The spices are amazing used are amazing.
