What reviewers say elsewhere

  • “The service was fine. I ordered on-line. I got the wing basket. To say that the turkey was dry would be a gross understatement. The flats were okay but the drums were so dry I could not eat the at all. I was very disappointed.”

    — ROBIN ROBERTSON, September 16, 2026 · google

  • “Looked like turkey but was tasteless and not fresh off the bone. Potatoes OK,but green beans were also tasteless. $18.00 for that one should be ashamed.”
