I came in today at around 6:30ish, and the service was amazing. Even the worker on her break eating her lunch welcomed me warmly, and the nice girl who prepared my plate along with the man coming through the door all interacting so well with me and had a wonderful attitude. Thank you so much. It was a rough day and I had nothing but good attitudes all day lol

We tried it out since we got a coupon BOGO. So today we got one steak (a little bit dry) one white meat chicken bowl that came with mixed steamed cabbage, broccoli carrot veggies and your choice of brown or white rice and topped with green onions. Be careful to take a look at the address on the back of the coupon because they are location specific. I happened to be at my local shop so I scored. They have a full compliment of beverages. Pretty straight forward set up. Small staff and I didn’t need to wait in line. Clean store

Best Flame Broiler in town. So nice, and I don't feel bad asking for no carrots or white meat chicken (unlike some of the other locations that roll their eyes when I ask). ALSO, they handled an angry customer SO WELL! The guy did not know how to order a plate. They explained it once while they were making it and another time while he was paying. He said he understood every time! He GRABBED the plate out of their hand when they said they were waiting for beef to cook. Then, he stormed back in cursing up a storm because they was no beef and demanded a refund. The employees handled it super well, which really earned my respect. The food is delicious too!
