My Husband and I rode our bike from Rock Hill to here. Excellent Philly cheese chicken. The fries are so good. Had two Long Island iced tea’s which were perfect. the owner is a very nice man. We will definitely be back. Place was spotless and had cool lights inside. service was excellent!

Amazing food, service and ambiance! Absolutely loved the Philly Cheesesteak and loaded fries. Will definitely be back!

Stopped in for lunch during our travels and this was a great find. The service was amazing, very friendly and offered recommendations. One of us had the Patty melt and that was very good. They do use sourdough bread and not rye though. The other had chicken wings (salt and vinegar and sweet Asian). Both were fantastic in flavor. The fries were also very good. Now I will say the wings were very very small and for 10 was $12.50, nothing else included which is a bit high in my option. They were smaller than my small finger as you can see in the photo. But would definitely come back and recommend. Because it was fantastic flavor and service was great.

You have to look for this hidden place in the corner of a strip mall but it’s well worth the hunt. I just had the best seasoned Philly Cheesesteak Inhave had in years. Please go support this small business.

Had the Chicken Philly. I will make sure and order extra onions and peppers out of personal preference but flavor was spot on. Was not soggy and bread was buttered and crispy. Wings were definitely on the small side but made up for it in the teriyaki hot flavor. FF were great. If you wanna step out the box. Put the teriyaki hot on the chicken Philly and thank me later. Drinks were good 420 Friendly was not too sweet and the Bloody Mary was as expected. Server was friendly and attentive. Might not suggest for a lunch stop on a time limit. Got our food and had to run. There at 11. Food at 11:40. $50 for two people with drinks. Not bad.

Great hangout spot! Food is great, service is great and guaranteed a good night!
