Great service, as always! My husband got the burger per usual - he loves it every time. I ordered the Roasted Green Circle Farms Chicken. I don’t typically order chicken at restaurants because I feel like there’s so many other things I could order that I wouldn’t normally make at home. This chicken dish sounded too good to pass up though & it did not disappoint.
