This is more than a review of their food but most importantly their service. The guys at this location were so kind and very helpful. Now for the food, they did not miss on the flavor, the wings were crunchy and had such good flavour. I got BBQ, lemon pepper and mango habanero. Loved their seasoned fries and Tres Leches(not pictured) also. Lovely service!!

Food is so good and they made it so fast. Place is super clean and pricing makes this even better. I went at like 3:50 and got my food at like 3:54. The workers are super super nice and respectful so if they want me to give honest rating then this is what they deserve. 10/10 I will be coming here more often when I carry money. Halal munchies on Springfield and Union Tpk is super great(red headphones)
