There’s no tomato, no jalapeños no buffalo pack not, no groovy sauce, no anything. Nothing that I paid for. How do you not even think to put in a ketchup when you got fries or tater tots? My strawberry drink is disgusting by the way I don’t know who put all that syrup in there, but that’s not how it goes. What is wrong with you people? I ordered the DoorDash. My order came up over $50 and you couldn’t give me one thing that I asked you for And paid for?! Curse you

Thank you the young man that provided the best level customer service 👏 I have had in years from anywhere. He even ask me if I has any trash he could get throw away for me. I wish I got his name for this review but thank you so much.

Charging for the marinara that comes with the mozzarella sticks? 26$ order including a large and small mozz but they are going to charge for something thats free.
Updating: Just got home and they didnt even put them in the bag after charging. Greedy company
