Fire. Just fire. Meaty sandwiches, spicy bites, and creamy sauce all combine to a great spicy chicken experience. If you're dining in, the tables were clean, staff was nice and drinks/sauces were plentiful. Will come again if I'm in need of spicy sandos.

AMAZING chicken! Even better service from Carter! He was extremely helpful and attentive to my every need. :) P.S. I love the spice options, even those who don’t like spice can enjoy the chicken as they offer spice levels from Plain to Reaper!
