Our restaurant is more than a place to grab a great chicken sandwich. We're your neighbors, committed to investing in Lincoln Park's future through mentorship programs, youth sports initiatives, and second-chance opportunities. We believe in supporting people and organizations that strengthen our community.

What makes us different? Our mission is to R.I.S.E.—we're Relentless in pursuing excellence, Intentional about creating opportunities for our team, committed to Service that goes beyond transactions, and we demand Excellence in everything we do.

We're closed Sundays because we believe in rest, family, and faith. We invest in scholarships because education changes lives. We support local causes because when Lincoln Park thrives, we all win.
