This was such an incredibly pleasant experience. Firstly, the associate at the register greeted me and after apologizing for ordering slowly as it was my first time, she offered a brief history of the restaurant and how they developed their batter and ideology. The restaurant was clean and well-lit. I waited roughly eight minutes for my order (a wait the associate had warned me of), a five piece chicken tender and fries. They offer cheese and BBQ seasoned fries but I wanted a fresh perspective of their plain fries, I'll definitely try cheese next. As with every other customer I saw receive their order, she went over each item to ensure correctness with me. I was blown away at the value. I anticipated the portions of other casual dining establishments and I was wrong. Five chicken tenders were obviously over a pound of incredibly juicy, succulent chicken breast in a very crispy, almost beer batter style breading. The chicken was gently spiced but complimented the taste of the chicken very well. Two sauces were provided with the order, I didn't want to bother her to ask the names again so I apologize that names aren't included. The first, lighter sauce, was a spicy mango flavored viscous sauce that was fantastic. The spice and fruit flavors were complementary, the sauce was not overly spicy and it definitely added something great to the crispy chicken. The second, darker sauce, was barbecue style but more tang than sweet, which I enjoyed. Packaged hot sauce was also provided. The fries were crispy and had a distinct flavor, I believe they may use a different frying oil than is typical. They were phenomenal and I will absolutely include them in every future order. I was unable to eat more than the fries and three tenders but the cookie looked and smelled delicious. Between the courteousness of staff, cleanliness, value, flavor and quality of the food, I am sure I will frequent this restaurant...
