I ordered the chili and got a French baguette, the chili was cold & so was my bread. Nothing was fresh. I ordered pickup and waiting in the drive thru line for almost 30 minutes.

Was given the wrong food. I was told the order was mine even though the buzzer I was given was not buzzing. I was told that was my order and I wasn't given the chance to check the bag I was given had the correct order.

The only reason I gave this restaurant a two star on anything is because my food did taste good but if you’re in a hurry don’t go here. I waited in the drive-through 25 minutes for a pick up order and my car barely fits through their little tiny drive-through, maybe some updates would be good here. Maybe some staff change too because the girl that talked on the intercom I could barely understand her through her mumbles Terrible location.

Nice place with good food. But the service was weird. No one there answers a direct question they'll give you a different answer to a different question than the one you asked. For example I asked them if the buzzer device buzzed and the guy told me all we're doing your food right now, then proceeded to hand me somebody else's order. Which he had to redo because not that touched it.

14 minutes in the Drive-Thru before you get to order. And now 10 minutes and still I'm not through the drive-thru to pick up my food. And at 8:00 a.m. after 2 hours of being opening you're out of everything bagels. So whoever your inventory and purchasing person is they really need to re trained. 2 hrs and your out.. Your employees and your managers need to remember and realize that the customers we're here to make your paychecks without us, you don't have a paycheck. This door needs to be reviewed and looked over. You need new management and nudes staff or everyone needs to be retrained. So I get to the window now and she repeated my order and then she asked me oh is it toasted ?? when I said five times when ordering it that I wanted it toasted. I'll go back to the one on University. They've got their act together over there. This store does not!!
