“The McWhat was an awesome burger. You could definitely taste the chicken and the burger separately in the sandwich. The toppings were crisp and I’m not rating the sauce because I put the sauce on the side. Overall service was good, although I would want the establishment to be more lively”

“Overall a solid go to option for a burger. Bun held together and sauce was plenty and delicious. Not much to really complain about for what it was.”

“Bun was alright. Burger was not a greasy as previous times I’ve been here. The old fashioned was good. Cheese was melted and double cheese as well. Burger was cooked well and wasn’t as greasy. The secret sauce was good.”
