More Than Just Beef: The Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich
While our beef burgers are legendary, our Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich is a massive local favourite. We take a plump chicken breast, marinate it in seasoned buttermilk, and fry it until it's crispy on the outside and incredibly tender on the inside.
