| - UPDATE: went back to try again tonight. The drive thru line was really long so we decided to go inside. The staff were all very friendly, I heard them shouting out "nice job" and "keep it up" in the open kitchen, which was really cool to see.
I ordered the Pimiento Cheese Crunch sandwich and fries; we also tried the BBQ bacon ranch sandwich.
We got our food fast! And when we got home to eat it, it was really good! The sandwiches were still on the salty side, but the pimiento cheese was really good. The chicken was crispy, the sauces good, but the fries were still a little underdone.
Overall, MUCH better experience, will be back!
Decided to try this place out; wondered how it would fare back to back with Raising Canes. Ordered the Smokehouse BBQ bowl and then my dining partner ordered the 4 piece tenders w fries.
First things first, we were in line for 18 minutes in the drive thru and then they gave our order to the car ahead of us, so it had to be remade. Plus: got a free cookie for the wait. It was good!
Got the food home and was really disappointed. The bowl had basmati rice that was SO salty it was inedible. Truly. It overpowered everything else in the bowl. I ended up just eating the chicken and fried pickles out of it and throwing the rest away. The fried pickles were really good; BBQ sauce was nice, chicken crispy.
The tenders came w a BBQ ranch sauce; the tenders were nothing special. A nice color but kind of dry and underseasoned. The fries were drenched in oil and salt, and sort of cold, so that was a bummer. And to top it off, the lemonade was like biting into a fresh lemon...very tart!!
Ultimately, I'll probably go back once they've been open a bit longer and see if the kinks have been worked out. But my opinion, for now, is that Canes is your better option for takeout tenders!
