    This is my go-to chicken restaurant for delivery. I get the whole chicken with 2 sides, and it is almost always perfectly cooked. I have also tried the burgers, ribs and Greek sandwiches. They are all usually good.

    I am not crazy about many of the sides, though I like the coleslaw (good commercial type), and the fries are fine. They have a good price on tiramusù (yum). I sometimes get the macaroni or bean salads and doctor them up, though.

    Delivery is on time, and if there is any problem, they are responsive.

    Chicken is  normally order whole with two sides option of pita bread thank you. I have just moved to this area and I have been testing delivery food in my area and this place is A1.

    My experience is only delivery:

    Food- always hot ( this is hard to come by sometimes  with other places I have had)

    Order always right- made through yelp

    But when my order was off I received a call to confirm from the restaurant .

    Overall I am pleased with this place maybe I'll go in ‍

    Craving chicken on a Saturday night and figured I'd try this longstanding joint a shot. Not much of a place to sit and eat at, so ordered through Yelp for delivery.

    Fairly simple menu of chicken (and other meats) with various side options. Decided on the Half Chicken meal with Two Sides ($10.75). A large offering of grilled chicken served alongside my options of potato salad and roasted potatoes. Chicken is only lightly seasoned but cooked well while not being greasy. Potato salad is your standard fare - potatoes are a little too hard but fine enough. Roasted potatoes were much better and similarly lightly seasoned as the chicken.

    This no frills spot offers up no frills food at a good price. Would order takeout/delivery again.

    This place used to be mediocre now FLAVORLESS! I ordered 1/4 chicken with cabbage and Yuka uneatable! The chicken was dry no flavor, the Yuka cold no flavor and the cabbage. A waste of money!  I will never go there again. This place should close the food is disgusting!

    A Heathy alternative not overly seasoned/salted.  Great taste not oily.  Sweet potato fries deserves a 5 star - has just the right amount of crisp.
