What our guests are saying
Our friends brought us here to eat—my family had never had chicken and waffles before, and this was my first time trying the schmear!! I got the gingerbread with cashew caramel drizzle and maple pecan smear!

I had a really nice experience at the restaurant the other day. My server was incredibly friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. I was also pleased with how quickly our food arrived, and it was served nice and hot. The only thing was that the mac and cheese tasted a little different than what I expected. We were seated immediately Overall, it was a very positive experience.

Everything was great! The waitress was nice. The food was sooo good. I had the dwelling roosters. My wings were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I chose the vanilla-almond and maple-pecan schmear. I have no complaints.
