    The girls that was in there in the back where they was cooking and handed our food. Those two girls are so rude and disrespectful. I have been coming here for years and have always asked for extra soup and the girl that was in the back the White Gurl she wants to say well don’t do it. You should’ve never have done it because the other girl that was I asked for more soup she said we don’t do that and I said yes we do because you guys always have done it for me. It shows that well. This is the only time I’m gonna be able to do it and that’s when the White Gurl said you should have never done it then and she was so disrespectful kept on talking crap about me in the back.these two an the native woman

    National sandwich day... Called to se if participating in offer posted several places online. Was told they are and dont need to order online but can come in and order. Left and was there in less than 5 minutes to be told they are no longer participating and was going to people's app. After saying we just called, they kept saying the same thing. Worst part, one who kept telling me this was the same one I talked to on the phone. So disappointed, so we left.

    Food was great, the group of people on their laptops being loud and arguing over renovations of a business was not ok..
