No Comments

Shakey’s is one of the few restaurants my little man would agree to dine in. He enjoys their delicious fried chicken and the fact that they are one of just a handful of restaurants that serve his favorite drink, pineapple juice. He loves eating at Shakey’s and always enjoys the experience.
