Open and check your box / order before leaving. I've been to this location 5-6 times and of that they have not included food twice that I paid for. Today I got home and was missing the 6 shrimp that were suppose to come with the 4 fried … More

The chicken is always over cooked and dry, the worst blue store of all their locations. You would think after so many complaints and bad reviews they would try to do better,but apparently they don't care and will keep serving you burnt over cooked chicken. They are no longer getting my business, I will go elsewhere

Chicken was extremely over cooked. Decided to try again and same thing. I know other locations aren’t this bad but skip this one! Now the fried chicken livers are worth stopping for. Guy at the counter had ZERO personality and not friendly at all. Need better customer service there!

Absolutely great prices overall, I got three breasts for $4 (and got extra). If you get a bad experience, you likely were rude. The people working were nice and I got my food very fast. The chicken is seasoned well but slightly on the dry side, but I will not complain whatsoever because the value is unbeatable. More
