This is real Southern fried chicken, marinated for 12 hours in special Texas spices and fried until golden and crispy. There’s four flavours to choose from: Texas crispy with honey mustard, spicy teriyaki, New Orleans-style hot wings or Texas BBQ. We suggest you try ’em all, as it’s hard to pick just one favourite.

This fun American diner will transport you to the heart of the US with its tasty menu of American comfort food.
