Ruth was my server. I highly recommend her.The qualitative service she provided was superb! The food recommendations were outstanding. The food suggestions were popular sellers. Ruth possesses a candid display of humility with a touch a jazz. An amazing personality. The staff provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere! A few had even introduced themselves to me. A primary example of hospitality at its best. Come to Chickies. You’ll have a wonderful time. Excellent choice of tunes and sports,synergistically combined to enhance the energetic appeal of the establishment. Love it!
