“ Delicious food, nice staff, food doesn't take to long to cook, nice menu, and many choices, and regardless of what you want you'd be able to find it on the menu. It's like a Chicago eatery in Minnesota. They've been in that location for almost 2 decades. ”
“ We've been satisfied every time we order. Knowing our food is being cooked when ordered makes the wait worth it. I hate food sitting under lights getting dried up like most fast food places. ”
“ Wow the catfish and hush puppies were amazing. I recommend splitting the combo meals. They are HUGE as you can see. Also buried under all the chicken are 2 pieces of white bread. The lemonade is the best I have ever had... watch out state fair your days are numbered. ”
“ The cauliflower was on point and so were the prices! A friend bought me dinner and with her gizzard meal and my wings meal plus cauliflower was only 16 dollars. Fresh and hot and delicious! The fries were plentiful as well. The line was long but they move fast. From the time we ordered we were out the door in less than 10 minutes. ”
“ The best Philly cheese steak! And their fries mmm don't get me started on those! Yummy!! I love driven the 100 some miles for them ANY DAY or TIME! MMMMM!!! ”
“ I'm from the south and I can put my stamp of approval on the wings here. I stopped here twice and both times the wings and fries were hot and fresh. ”
“ Probably the best fried food I've ever had. The catfish was really hot and fresh, very well seasoned. I didn't really get the drink that I ordered, but I really can't complain when I keep looking for a fix of anything like this like crack. Going to this place literally saved fish for me. Thank you fire and ice. ”
“ Absolutely love the Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and the wings are top of my favorites, and to top it off the Fire & Ice lemonades are sooo thirst quenching! ”
