My hamburger was very tasty and done perfectly. I like the chili on my chili cheese fries too. It had a little kick to it, but not too much. I'm happy!

I tried KnightFire last time I saw it here and I have been so excited for them to come back! The chili cheese burger with the jalapeños and everything is the best burger I've ever had! BIG FAN!

We didn't ask about bbq sauce for the ribs. Not sure if we needed to include that when we ordered- or ask for it when we picked up.

Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.

Both the Cuban and pork sandwiches were delicious. The beans were cold but overall the food was excellent. I hope you come back!

There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.

It was such a great hit! Everyone loved it and the people that came to serve were unbelievably sweet. Thank you!
