"Everything was good and hot. I got the combo with 2 pieces Catfish fillets and 2 whole wings seasoned with seasoned fries for 13.99 plus tax. Nice deal and filling."

"No frills just a simple and inexpensive menu. We ordered whole chicken wing combo extra crispy with French fries. Another order of the mix and match pick 2 with catfish filets and big buffalo with fries. The portions are huge. Made to order so a little bit of a wait. Total $30"
