As soon as we entered the place was very tidy and clean, the staff were very friendly and helped us by recommending some burgers, I got the hot chick and a cookie milkshake, the chicken was very rich and juicy the brioche bun complemented the chicken very well and the sauce wasn’t overflowing it was a perfect amount of sauce while also having good consistency. Now the fries had a good crunch while also being soft on the inside and it was perfect with their Brazilian citrus seasoning. The milkshake wasn’t blended in a normal blender but instead it was blended in a hand spun machine which gave it that extra creamy texture. All in very good experience and will definitely be back.

The food is always good from here and the variety while still sticking to their main theme is amazing. Had ordered recently and the driver left the drink by accident but as soon as the restaurant noticed they called me and offered to bring it over. I hadn't even noticed the can was missing so I really appreciated the honesty. If you haven't tried this place yet I highly recommend. I haven't sat in the restaurant yet so I can't really judge the atmosphere properly but I have been in so I've put 5 stars as it didn't feel right to mark down just because I haven't experienced it yet.
