"I think this is the best chicken sandwich I have had in a long time. It was huge!! This was my first time ordering take out, but I heard my boss say that the establishment was so clean and the customer service was lovely when he picked the food up. 10/10 would order from here again."

"I had the OHS patty melt, and it was killer!!!! Service was super friendly and fast. I highly recommend. My food was so good that I munched down and forgot to take a picture of the sandwich. Came back again for the Grunt Snort Wheez burger with a fried egg. It was delicious!!!! Kids had boneless wings and loved em’ - 2 sauce covered thumbs up!!!"
Tony Jaffe
"This place came highly recommended by some friends and it did not disappoint! We got the Prime Rib Burger and the Boom Boom Pow Burger. Boom Boom sauce was just spicy enough, but not overpowering.
Meanwhile, the Prime Rib Burger (one of the daily specials) was simply excellent! Great flavor!
Also, the Fried Bread Pudding was delicious -- a great value topped with ice cream."
