    The lady that took our order, nit friendly at all. No smile, no thank you or come again. Seemed pissed off at the world.

    $5.50 for two small ice waters? "You're paying for the cups"... But a kid's ice water is free. It comes in a cup too. So strange

    We placed our dinner order which included "Sundies" and ask to hold off making "Sundies" until we finished our meals, the guy taking our orders said "ok" but our ice creams were made right then so they could melt while we ate our meal. Told them No we did not want them before our meal and she put them in the freezer waiting on us to ask for them. I just don't feel that they were fresh.
