Such a cute place! And the food was all delicious! The buffalo chicken sandwich was large and very tender. Definitely one of the best buffalo chicken sandwiches around! The employees were all very friendly and kept everything clean.
This is fast casual where you order at the register, have a seat, and they bring you your food. Drinks are self serve. Great place for families!

This was our first time visiting so we didn’t know what to expect. The online pictures and reviews helped us decide to try it. We had the chicken tender basket and the chicken salad sandwich. Both were excellent! They have a nice variety of food options for both breakfast and dinner. I wish I could have given them a 5 star review but the initial welcoming experience was lacking. We weren’t greeted by the gentleman working the counter and after we asked a few general questions, he still didn’t offer any help. After he realized that we were first timers, I would have expected more. The price was a little higher than we expected, but the food was great! We will definitely try the other location in Independence.

From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the staff we knew we were at the right place. Food was delicious, biscuits and gravy, french toast, lemonade, chicken fingers and fries. Exceeded our expectations. We had a very large team of families and football players. Almost 30 people. The staff handled it patiently, professionally and made us feel right at home. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I honestly can’t say more about the staff. The really cared about the customer experience. Attentive, informative and helpful. Walking around tidying up, running food, etc. We will certainly be visiting this place again. Thank you for your hospitality and EXCELLENT customer service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Such a wonderful staff. I was ordering through the online system and had accidentally selected the wrong side and didn’t realize that it did not come with fries until I got home. I called up there and went to pick up fresh fries and even offered to pay for the mistake on my end, but they were very helpful and kind. The food here is phenomenal and always fresh. Plus the atmosphere is absolutely beautiful.

Was our anniversary. My husband found it on line for somewhere different. It sure was. Very relaxing but nice. Order at window off lots of options on the menu. Was hard to decide, but we ended up with triple BLT and onion rings. My husband got catfish basket and hush puppies. He also tried beans and ham with cornbread. Food was outstanding and freshly cooked. They bring the food out to you when it’s ready. Will definitely return and we told everyone about this place, don’t pass it up for sure. Has outside seating.

Yum!! Adorable place for burgers, sandwiches and salads. First time visiting & it’s made our “I’d eat here again for sure” list. HIGHLY recommend the Cuban sandwich & onion rings. My Cuban was delicious with shaved meats that made it so tender while eating. Husband had 2 piece catfish basket & fries. Hand battered and delicious as well. We will definitely be back when we’re in the area.

Went for Burger week and drove 40 minutes and we will be back. We do burger week every year for the past several and this was hands down our favorite! Cowboy Killer. From the flavor to the juiciness. Cooked to perfection. They have great fries and onion rings. Homemade ranch(I’m a ranch girl for my fries) The place is so clean and every detail is beautiful. We sat outside and the landscape is gorgeous.

We came in hungry and the food was delicious! Food was up quick and fresh and hot. I had the catfish meal and my hubs had the black and bleu burger with onion rings. My platter had two large pieces of catfish, lots of fries, hushpuppies and a condiment cup of slaw. It was perfect! The burger and onion rings were also very good. We will be back. I would love to try their breakfast sometime.

I’m as much of an architectural nut as I am a foodie so when I saw this place being built, I couldn’t wait to see what was going into it. I was surprised to see it was going to be a restaurant and happy to see it wasn’t another chain. I reviewed the menu before going and it left me scratching my head as I guess I was expecting something closer to “scratch home cooking” vs sandwiches and “baskets”. Regardless, I’m always up for an adventure so I rounded up my wife and son and headed their way with enthusiasm and anticipation.
The flow of the restaurant was a bit confusing with three different places to enter, 2 of which require you to snake thru the dining area to get to the ordering station but hey, they’re new so I trust they’ll work it out for future newbies. We ordered three of their signature items: the Cowboy Killer smash burger with tater tots, the Classic Cuban with onion rings, and the Catfish Basket with fries. I also order a side salad with blue cheese dressing.
The winner by unanimous consensus was the smash burger which could have used a bit more sauce but was delicious none the less. The tater tots were a bit cold and lacked salt.
The Cuban was pretty classic but I felt like the yellow mustard and pickle hid the flavor of the pork and ham on the sandwich and half of my sandwich had a good deal of meat on it while the other half felt like it got short-changed. I’m guessing this had to do with how the sandwich was pressed. The onion rings were good but also lacked salt.
The catfish breading caught me by surprise as I’m used to seeing a traditional cornmeal breading on our catfish – the less the better because I want to taste the fish and not have the breading be the star. I’m really not sure what type of breading this was but my wife wound up pulling it off and eating the fish which she agreed was good. Her fries were good but lacked salt.
My side salad was served in a to-go container and the blue cheese dressing tasted like a combo of Tatar sauce and blue cheese – different but not offensive.
I wanted to say we loved the food as much as we loved the building but I unfortunately couldn’t. We’ll cut them some slack and definitely will go back to try another smash burger but we’d really like to see some other options down the road.

I was a first time visitor yesterday evening with a friend of mine. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was equally as good. I ordered the burger that is similar to what the Frischs Big Boy used to be before it got tiny.. It was amazing. In addition to all that, the atmosphere was very warm and relaxing. And our server was very attentive, making sure that we had everything we needed.And that we were happy. Definitely going back.
