This was my second time having food from the JT Desert Drifters. Not only have they been great/kind people each time, it’s also been a satisfactory meal each time. The first time I went, I got an order of chili cheese fries w fresh onions diced up and thrown on top. The chili? Phenomenal. The fries? Superb. They’re thick, crispy fries that don’t get too soggy from the chili. Which is always a pro to the meal. This time, while passing up the option to use rewards for a free meal else where, I excitedly saw them operating and decided that’s where I was gonna go. I got an order of the chili cheese fries again, along with the chicken bacon ranch wrap.. and let me tell you. Great size, great/tender chicken, not packed too full so it’s not hard or annoying to handle while eating, the bacon is perfect and the ranch is SO good. Overall, I absolutely love the fact that we have something like this in town. They have a variety of items and I’m looking forward to expanding my palette as far as their food goes. I will gladly spend the money here, at a locally owned and operated establishment ran by great people with great food. Between the wrap, fries w onions, and a soda, I spent about $24-$25, and it’s worth every penny spent.
