The sheer quality, as well as quantity, of food you get for the price is darn unbeatable. Fast food chains cost far more for the same amount of food, and... read more you hate yourself after eating it all because it's such low quality slop; but that is not the case here. Your stomach thanks you for getting full on on a plate from Big Kahuna. If a second location ever opens up, please please please, come to Chattanooga, TN. It would be a total hit.
