    Market veggie plate is not to be missed. French fries are tasty. Desserts are also secret hits.

    The skate was a very generous portion and incredible. One of the top meals I've ever had in BK.

    Tip! "Tuna rings" are not actually real, and they will giggle at you if you try to order them.

    As Public Enemy sang "Don't believe the hype." Clam roll is nothing special and overpriced. Fries are separate at $5/order. Decent selection of beer. Service is ok. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
