I tried the barbecue turkey tips and did a small order of the jerk turkey tips. Let's just say they're going to see me a lot more.

Not sure what happened but I just ate here today and it was terrible. Not being mean but a Mexican guy answered the phone that can barely speak English. I knew I should have passed. I travel miles for this food and today is the last day. I will miss this place but the tips were garbage. I also had the hot link and it was garbage too. More

There was a time when I enjoyed my food, however now it’s getting worse, the food and customer service. I am thinking maybe it was an off day but NO that is not the case. I am done with the location in Bronzeville , also when I ordered Uber eats they gave me what they wanted me have and not the food I ordered. More

Good food. Great prices. I had the turkey spinach lasagna. It needs more spinach but it was delicious. My mom had the turkey tips she said they were tender and tasty.The only downside is the parking. They in a very small strip with about 5 store fronts each with 2 parking spots each. Will be back to try more items from their menu

8:00 PM is when they close according to the sign on the door (20Dec2025) and not 10PM as listed on Google, cost me a wasted trip but I hope it helps others. (Could've been avoided if someone simply answered the phone just once between 7:45pm - 8:00pm) ...the food is good, duh, lol, which is why I had a fit hahaha.

Please update times on 3rd party apps. Just made an order through GrubHub because it says delivery closes at "7:45pm", but order was cancelled before 6pm because the restaurant is CLOSED. BEFORE 7:45PM. May as well start ordering for breakfast at this point, because it looks like y'all close when y'all want. More
