“This place literally made my night from how sweet and energetic the staff was. I got out of the gym after a pretty mid day and found out that the three chicken fingers have approximately 47g of protein, so I was super excited to go out to eat. When I pull up to order, the guy on the mic starts with “Yo yo yo – what can I get for ya?” and that made me laugh and smile for the first time today. When I got home, I found that the employees gave me one extra chicken finger. This made my day. I definitely will be back at this location soon.”
