Always had good food from this place since they’ve opened. If the owners read the reviews though I want them to know they need to add the option to select Laynes Sauce in door dash. They’ve got every other sauce to select as an option but not the laynes sauce.

Great chicken. Good service. The menu is small, but they've perfected what's on it. We go once a week.
