I used to like this place a lot. Recent order was sad. Pulled pork sandwich was just okay, with a very small portion of pulled pork. The side of cole slaw was a 1 ounce portion. Won’t bother coming back. Very sad to me that it’s changed.

Yesterday as of August 2, 2025, my son and his girlfriend decided to order a takeout food from this location and asked me if I wanted an order as well. I accept it and ordered 1 half beef/ chicken combo well done with yellow rice and french fries. When it was time to dinner by my surprise, I discovered that the chicken leg was extremely burnt. ☹️ Can the cook in charge make a difference between well done and totally burned? “With the benefits of a doubt” I will make one more tryout with this location. If this same situation repeatedly, occurs I would have to stay far away from it.

food is freezing cold. Management has Uber eats set for 35-45 min with out traffic away. 14 miles . My order has been taking over an hour and a half to arrive. The fault is not on the driver. It is on to greed of the owner operator. Portion size is very small not tasty. Do not order from these guys. There’s better places I feel embarrassed the tip that I gave to my driver because it is not enough for a person like that to survive on delivering. shame shame shame … tryed to call the place to tell them it’s not fair for consumer or driver . i’ve worked in the industry before
