The food was very good. The chicken and fish were nice and crispy. They have, however, cut down the amount of food in the sides. The containers used to be full to the top. Now, they're only about 2/3 full. The coleslaw was basically raw cabbage with a few pieces of carrot because there was so little dressing you couldn't see it at all, and there was only a slight hint of flavor. We also ordered 2 cherryand 1 apple pie, which was written on the receipt, but we got 3 cherry pies.

The chicken was good, except a lot of the breading had fallen off the chicken before it was put in the box. They were really heavy-handed with the black pepper in both the mashed potatoes and the gravy. I like to taste my food, not a pepper shaker. People can always add pepper, but I can't remove it.

Everything was fine, except they use way too much black pepper in the gravy and mashed potatoes. I hate black pepper. People can always add pepper to their food, but I can't take it out. There should be an option to not have it, at least in the potatoes.

The chicken was good, as always. I couldn't eat the coleslaw, though. It tasted like it had gone bad. It was sour and not in a vinegar type of way.

Definitely good flavour chicken, but in chicken strips I have a weird thing with fat or tendons. This had a bit too much for me. But good for anyone who doesnt have that issue!
