What our guests are saying

Coleslaw and loaded fries with the extra hot chicken were delicious! So much food for a low price, sauce and Mac and cheese were amazing and Texas toast was the best 10/10 recommend.

Best Hot Chicken Sandwich I’ve had in Santa Maria, hands down. The flavors were on point, and the fries were perfectly crispy. Definitely coming back with friends!

The loaded fries were super delicious. I also got the loaded burrito and loved it! Tried both with original spice level, and it had a nice heat to it without being very spicy at all. Good for those with a low spice tolerance.
