    The chicken oysters are the best! I love both the original and the hot ones, though I might like the hot just a little bit more.

    I got the coop de ville burger. The lime mayo, napa cabbage a little sour for my taste. But the chicken breast is big, moist and crispy.

    Get the firebird burger and 5 pieces of fried chicken. The deviled eggs were pretty good. Loved the sauce station.
