Product: Blue cheese

Hello I ate at this place on 1/5 /21 evening . The day after I got an 101.1 fever , stomach cramps and pain I couldn’t eat . I am sure that I got food poisoning from this place. This place should be shut down , it... See More is unacceptable . I am going to pursue legal action and will be contacting the department of health.

I ate the chicken wings and blue cheese dressing as well as a cheesecake. I’m really disappointed with that place, on top of that, they are not following covid protocol and this is not the first time this happens, The Health department really needs to take a look into this because I don’t know how they are operating a restaurant without covid protocol and serving food that is probably spoiled and in detriment to one health, that is unacceptable and I’m still feeling sick of it, please look into that.. | Symptoms: Nausea, Vomiting, Fever, Cramps, Stomach Pain See Less

Last night I ordered an 8 piece hot flavored boneless nuggets with blue cheese & a side of french fries with regular amount of seasoning.. They told me 30min, it was ready in 15 & the food was a little cold but I did not think anything... See More of it. Four wings in and some fries later I was so full so I put the rest in my fridge and went to bed. I woke up once an hour later to go to the bathroom; I had regular bowels so I thought nothing of it. Now it’s 4am (where I’m sitting typing this up) and I have watery bowels with a slight stomach ache which gets worse as time passes. I definitely regret my decision getting that for dinner. Please be careful you guys! This is definitely not the first time this has happened to me, but because I haven’t had it in a long time, I must have forgotten. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Stomach Pain See Less
