Bought my wings here about 4 time. Always fresh and speedy service. But I see the wing size is decreasing. Please stick to the size you used in your opening month.

One of the best chicken places in the area with the tastiest food by far. Just dont go there is you are in a hurry as even when they are quiet food takes forever, but the taste of the food most definately makes up for the long wait Chicken and service good. Service is becoming a lot faster than it use to be tho
