Good Example (65 words)
“Tried the spicy chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. The chicken was crispy outside and juicy inside with the perfect amount of heat. Fries were seasoned well and served hot. Our server Mike was friendly and checked on us regularly. The restaurant was clean with a nice casual atmosphere. At $12.99 for the combo, it's good value. Would definitely return!”

“Food was good. Service was okay. Place was clean. Would go back. Nice restaurant overall. Prices are reasonable. Recommended.”
