Took my daughters here for early dinner. The staff wasn't really friendly, mediocre at best. What was the most disappointing was the food. I understand the area. but for $13 dollar burrito I get 4 pieces of steak and a salad wrapped in the tiniest flour tortilla I have ever seen. My daughters had the rice and chicken skewers and the chicken was flavorful but I've seen unused sponges less dry then that. really disappointing I've seen this place many times and been wanting to try it out, well now I know.

What a shame!!! The chicken has no flavor,no seasoning. Couldn't they have marinated it before cooking??? On top of it, being dry. The green beans were very salty.... straight out of the can. We were here before covid, but this place like everyone else....hit bottom afterwards.

The food is absolutely amazing and the service is absolutely amazing. I have been going there for probably over 20 years now, and will continue.

The food here is delicious! I’ve been coming here for 3 years and I try to go here at least once a week. The food for the price can’t be beat in terms of how good and fresh it is. Thanks for the great meals!

I had some family coming over and decided to try this place for dinner on short notice.I order the 2 chicken family meal with 4 sides with ribs ( spent over 70$) The chicken was extremely dry that no one ate it. The sides were tasty, but for a place that specializes in rotisserie chicken I think they would know how to make juicy chicken.Staff was friendly. I would not recommend if you are wanting chicken.

After reading other reviews I really wanted to like this place. First, let me say the steak and chicken skewers were very tasty and well prepared. You could tell they were cooked fresh. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the whole and half chickens we got. Very dry and underseasoned with rubbery skin. It was obvious they were cooked some time ago. You can tell there's something great here. I'm thinking this could've been a one-off. I'd be willing to give it another go. Especially at their prices.

Walked in and ordered two eight ounce sirloins. Both with baked potatoes and one with soup and the other with beans. They were extremely tender. Not sure what they do to tenderize them but it doesn't chew like a normal steak. The potatoes had a huge dollop of margarine on them . A sour cream packet was served on the side. I asked for mushrooms and they were an additional cost of $1 for a small serving of canned mushroomcredit y give you a garlic toast with the order. You got a very small cup when asking for water. The bill was $33.00 and there is an extra cost to cover the credit card cost on your bill. So there is a 4 percent surcharge. The booths did not have any cushion in the seat and they were very hard and uncomfortable. The restaurant was clean and well lit. They have tvs in case you want to watch sports. You had to clean your own table.

We had dinner here before going to the Arboretum for the Illumination show. As we walked in, it seemed to be a take out place, but there's a large dining area to the right. After we studied the menu, we ordered a chicken plate with two sides, and kabob triple treats (one chicken, shrimp, and steak kabob) over a bed of broccoli and rice. I added soup of the day as my one side. After order, they brought our food to the table. The chicken was moist, but can use a little more flavor. The shrimp and the chicken kabobs were cooked perfectly. The steak kabob was my least favorite. The texture of the center was too soft - unlike an undercooked meat, and not sure how best to describe it. Overall, a good spot for a quick bite.
