What I Ordered
Four Tender Mac Combo
$11.75
The 4 Tender Mac Combo is a large serving of mac and cheese with four large chicken tenders. The chicken tenders are very large, juicy, and perfectly cooked. I was impressed by the breading. It is very uniquely seasoned, flavorful, and crispy. The mac and cheese serving was huge. It is very creamy and cheesy with a melted cheese crust on top. The mac and cheese was also very well-seasoned and flavorful. The serving was so large we were able to split this meal into two good sized meals. This meal came with two dipping sauces as well. I got honey mustard and the “Freak sauce” which was a house sauce. Neither was spicy but both were good.
