“Honestly our first sight was sad because none of the customers were there at middle of the lunch time. My husband said “They…bought good reviews???” 😅 NO! it’s not!! Their burger was actually FANTASTIC 🥳 Buns are fresh and soft, juicy beef / fried chicken and rich taste of sauce. We all loved their burgers.”
