Today our server Jeffery offered hands down the best customer service you could ever want. He was very informative of the menu. He also had a great sense of humor and was very attentive. We ordered the Cajun chicken with waffles and the waffles had a crispy exterior and a soft inside served with warm maple syrup. The Cajun chicken was excellent crispy juicy chicken. Not overly seasoned just the right amount for me as a person who cant have much salt. Perfect crunch and juicy succulent meat. The ambience was very nice cant wait to visit again and try other menu items. This was my first time here and there will definitely be more visits to come.
