"We've been wanting to try this place for a while now and we were in the area today so we decided to go since all the other places we were looking into had a wait. We should've walked out after waiting to place an order. We were in front of the register for a few mins and no one acknowledged us at all. The restaurant was not busy at all. There were 2 guys in the front just standing around. Then when one of them finally realized he went to the register. Not even a hi or anything. Just stood there waiting for me to tell him my order. Had no enthusiasm at all! Placed our order then after I sat down he told us they don't have cassava fries and offered regular fries instead. Not a big deal. The food took a long time. There was a big group from the table across from us that left when we got there and pretty much the table was left uncleaned till we were leaving. They also played the same song over and over the entire time, song title was Deep End. Food finally came. I ordered my 4 yr old the kids chicken tender meal. He couldn't eat it due to the chicken being extremely dry. We ordered the original meal and got both mild and medium option. Couldn't really tell the difference on which one was what. Pretty much the chicken was just slathered in their sauce which was really salty. The veggies were those frozen store bought medley that was really soggy. The only part we enjoyed from our meal was the fries and that's not saying much since how can you go wrong with fries. We were just watching the workers hangout and eat their ice cream cone and using their phones. Really regretted coming here! Overall, if I can give this place a ZERO for both food and service, I would!"
