“We are so excited to finally be open in Roanoke,” said Clark. “We’re thrilled with the warm reception we’ve received so far, and we chose to open our newest restaurant in Roanoke because of the strength of this community and the residents, families, and visitors that make up this incredible part of Alabama. We know that everyone is going to love what are considered simply the best chicken fingers in America.”
