But you can call in an order and go over in a bit and pick it up. Don’t wait to late to buy a duck or half a duck. They sell out fast.
It’s true. I’ve been there a few times, even in the early evening, and they’re sold out. But the chickens and ducks are always good. I also like the shrimp with scrambled egg.
