| - After driving by this place a few times and checking out all the Yelp love it's received, I finally had the chance to stop by on Sunday. I was in a bit of a hurry so I opted to go through the drive thru rather than inside. The drive thru is set up in such a way that you order face to face which is nice so there's no miscommunication issues with a speaker box. After I placed my order (a 2 tender kids meal with ranch and a dr. pepper), the young lady taking my order asked my name. I told her and wondered why that was being asked at the drive thru. When I pulled up to the pick-up window, I was pleasantly greeted by a gentleman who said in a friendly voice, "How's it going, Tara?" A ha! So that's why they asked my name - nice touch!
The food. It was...good. Not great, not awful. Just good. The fries were my favorite part. It's hard to describe some things and these are one of them. All I can think to say is that they were cooked well - not too soggy but not hard, had a good potato flavor and despite the fact that I got a kid's meal the fry container was quite big - definitely bigger than most kid size fries. The chicken - and I know I'm going against the grain here - it was pretty underwhelming. Don't get me wrong - it was obvious that these were high quality and freshly made. It was just that the taste wasn't anything to Yelp about, you know? What really turned me off, however, was the ranch. Thing is, I didn't even taste it. Here's my issue. I like cold ranch. I don't want to dip my fingers in ranch that's as warm as the finger itself. The container of ranch was placed inside the same container as the chicken and I'm quite certain that heated it up to a temp way too high for my liking. If you're good with warm/hot ranch, knock yourself out. Me, eh...not so much.
I'll be back for sure cause the customer service was grade A and the menu had a lot more to offer than just chicken fingers - burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc., etc. I'm a fan of the place in general, jut not the chicken fingers in particular.
