All Lunches Great and Cheap start here. For under seven bucks, you can get enough food for two lunches, unless you're an athlete or you routinely overeat. The Spicy Chicken is the signature dish, made up mostly of dark meat, not very spicy hot and even a little sweet, but so-o-o good. Try the Szechuan Chicken and the Kung Pao Chicken as well. If you're going there on a Friday during Lent, you could do worse than the Tofu chicken. They have combos that include a Coke/equivalent, but I usually do free water. It's super fast, too. One caveat: sometimes the food is not so temperature hot, but they are very good about switching it out for you if you flag that.

Good stuff! Four stars as a quick lunch joint.

A-a-ah..."Slick Road", yes I have to agree that there's something addictive about the Spicy Chicken. This review brings back memories of Slick Roads close to the office.
