We had friends in town from Minneapolis. We were looking for something to do on a Sat. afternoon and came across a post that said that this was a fun way to spend an afternoon.
It is situated in the end of the Triad strip. There are a whole bunch of small businesses in the Triad strip mall and then it stops and there is Chillax. A friend of ours said it used to be a donut shop.
It is very odd when you walk in. There are 2 separate businesses. The bar (drinks) is one business and the food is a 2nd business. So, we found a table and looked at the menus. Mike went and ordered drinks and I went and ordered food. We got a shrimp platter. It had butterflied fried shrimp and fries. We also ordered some toasted ravioli. They have many different beers on tap in small and large glasses.
Tim and Vicki ordered drinks and then ordered some fried fish and fries. Everyone (except me) ordered some type of beer on tap. Tim got some kind of blueberry beer that Mike really liked, so Mike then ordered a 2nd glass of that.
They text you when the food is ready and you go pick it up at the food counter. The butterfly shrimp was good but would have been better if the shrimp hadn't been butterflied. Yes, butterflying them made them look bigger, but it dries they out. The coating on the shrimp was good and flavorful. I liked it. The fries were just OK. The toasted ravioli were fine, nothing exceptional.
Tim said the fried catfish was really good.
The place was loud and very casual. The cement floors and super casual tables didn't lend to an ambiance that made me want to return. Because there was friend chicken on the menu, there were families here to enjoy the food. It was a cross between a restaurant and a bar and it was just and OK place to spend a few hours.
