With the exception of one Thanksgiving dish, the food was great. When we commented on the dish, the manager removed the cost from the check. Family members ordered other than Thanksgiving items and were very pleased. We ordered several take out dishes and it is true….BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER!! Enjoy.
