I had a very different experience. I was there for the first time Sunday night around 6:30 and the place was packed. There were 8-10 people ahead of me on line but I got to the front and ordered within 5 minutes. I went out to my car to wait for my food, cane back in less than 10 minutes later, and it was already waiting on the counter for me.

And the food... my god. I don't think I've ever been so impressed with food from a fast food style place. I had the charcoal chicken, the steak fries, and the portugese rice bowl, and everything was absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and incredibly unique. After one experience I couldn't recommend more.

Can you sit down there?

What is portugese rice bowl? was it like yellow rice? I was there they only had one type rice was yellowish and nothing special, onion rings was very oily the batter, too bad they were out of portuguese chicken soup and was before 7 PM

maybe on busier nights (like a Sunday) they can make the chicken before you order it knowing that someone will be ordering it.  But on other nights they are only making it to order which adds a lot of waiting time.

I went last night around 8:45. Place was fairly empty and our order was ready in well under 10 minutes. We got the fried chicken and charcoal chicken. I havent had such good fried chicken since KD closed.

Went back for the chicken fingers (I think they call them tenders) and they were ok but not as good as the one on the bone for some reason.

Guy at the counter tried to push the rice bowl guaranteeing that we'll like it, but we didnt get it.

Did ABC tonight:

Aussie Burger and Pulled Beef Sandwich. Both tasted good and were ready for pickup within 10 minutes which I liked.

Conclusion: Good but not good enough at a price-point of close to $17 a sandwich.

Yup, seems imminent. Was crazy empty, was only able to get 6 out of the 12 things I needed (again)
If/when it happens, talk about end of an era...
