I liked the food, gizzards were the best. If they can clean up on the outside, this shark will be amazing. Abandoned car wash doesn't help, not their fault. But that volleyball court need to get a new idea to go there. But good stuff. More

We ordered tenders 5 PC and 10 PC wings and 3 pc perch. The fries were old not fresh. The fish was so dried out it parted under the batter. It was more oil and bread. The tenders were hard no batter barely. How are these people still in business
