If you've dined here in the past, I highly recommend giving it another try!

It features a fluffy potato roll filled with fried chicken, slaw, cheese, and a tasty spread. It was absolutely delicious. There's not much more to say: it was juicy, crunchy, and utterly satisfying. I really enjoyed the potato roll, and the chicken reminded me of my childhood. I love the gluten-free sweet potato coating they use to achieve that wonderfully crisp texture.

The bubble tea is decent, but it's a nice option to enjoy alongside your meal. There's plenty of street parking available outside.

Fantastic prices. Good friendly staff. Came here on a Wednesday, and Wednesday is $5 cheeseburgers. A smidge smaller than a regular burger, but juicy beef patty, cheese, pickles and tangy Upperhand sauce. Damn tasty. Sell Taiwanese style menu options too; had some Taiwanese fried chicken (TFC POPPERS) were delicious. The peeking duck loaded chips were tasty too. Huge vegetarian and vegan selections on offer too!! Have beers on tap, home lager, and biggie juice and a few others at decent prices. Also do bubble tea, and boozy variations of bubble tea that are decent too. Get here and try it.

The patty is deliciously juicy, lightly pressed and housed in a superb bun (not the expected brioche but easily as good). A sweet barbecue sauce to offset the saltiness of the bacon and Mexican cola to wash the lot into an ever expanding belly. Do yourself a favour.
