"Food was great, condiments could use some attention. Ketchup tasted funny, and I'm not sure if the ranch was mayo or something else I've never tasted. Will be back to reassess. A+ to the staff, they were friendly and helpful!"

"We were out of town doing some bed shopping and found this hidden gem on our way to Sioux Falls. Only place open in the area on Sunday. Service was amazing and food was great! My wife said it was the best chicken sandwich she has had for a long time. They were also very kid friendly. We left and already started planning our next trip with a group of friends."
