It's addicting!!! I had it 3 times in a work week about a month ago. Yep, that good! The staff is always friendly and professional. Don't be surprised if instead of calling your number they bring your food to you. Their burgers are something you would make at home when you want the little something extra. Oh, yeah, I met the owner today. He had no problem taking a few minutes to come out the kitchen and chat with me. That's kind of rare these days in any type of business. 🍻

In my fifth attempt at this establishment, I was initially impressed by the best friend chicken sandwiches I had in a while. However, the consistency of the food has been inconsistent over the past three visits. On the most recent occasion, I ordered a meal and returned home to find that the first bite of my sandwich had dislodged the chicken filling, leaving it on my shirt and pants. The chicken breading had separated from the chicken, resulting in a soggy and uneven texture. Considering the price of two meals around $50, I would expect better quality food. While I am not criticizing the establishment, I believe that the chefs need to improve their food preparation skills. As a chef with 18 years of experience, I can create a consistent recipe that remains intact and appealing. I was somewhat disappointed that my sandwich today resulted in so much food waste, didn’t feel like it was made with love just rushed . Despite the initial positive experience, I would rate this establishment three out of five stars. While the music and ambiance are enjoyable, the food has lost its appeal and excitement compared to the first time I tried it.

Sideshow Kitchen is such a lovely place to spend time outdoors — the patio is comfortable, relaxed, and makes you want to linger. The food is outstanding: fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels both hearty and creative, and it’s the kind of meal that leaves you full but already planning your next visit. A perfect spot for enjoying great food in a welcoming setting.

Delicious food! Grilled chicken with bacon comes with friends which are delicious! Strawberry lemon comes with free refills if dining in. They have to-go containers for guests to take their leftovers.

No frills burger stop where the milkshakes are my favorite. Full of flavor and made with real ice cream. They also have delicious burgers well-packed with toppings. I had the single patty Good Burger, which is quite filling, but for those a little hungrier, they should absolutely try the Sideshow. Their fries are right in between crispy and soft, but note that their garlic fries come with a lot of fresh raw garlic on top. They have a lovely outdoor dining area with plenty of heaters and roof cover. Plenty of picnic tables to sit on and fast delivery times. Staff are friendly and patient as we stared up at the menu.
