The portions were incredible the pic doesn’t do it justice. I wanted just a broth soup which wasn’t on the menu and they brought me a broth soup full of veggies I told them they need to add it to menu. Great portions, accommodating staff, great taste, at a great value. I will be back!

Huge portions on the Meals for 1. Enough for two meals each. Fresh and delicious. I wouldn’t get the fried shrimp again tho, all breading and little shrimp. My husband loved the lemon chicken. Fresh out of the fryer and served with the lemon sauce on the side so it stayed crispy.
