    FYI They do take credit cards. We thought they took cash only and it delayed us checking this place out.

    The fried chicken was really bad. No flavor at all. Had to use the hot sauce. Coming from LA, I made the mistake of thinking all chicken and waffles were created equal.

    Went here for lunch and was disappointed. Ordered the Grilled Pork Hash, bad idea! It was so burnt. We were sat at the counter and saw the cooks use the same grease over and over to cook the chicken.
