Ordered through the app, went to pick up food and it was so easy!! Order was correct and food was hot and delicious. My favorite is the onion rings. Cooked perfectly!

Absolutely never coming back. I’m pregnant and get off at 9pm from work and all I crave is a Reese’s blast after work and I manage to get there between 9:30-9:45 every time since it’s on my way home and the different women who taken my order have no problem making the blast on the last hour of their shift. However, today a guy took my order and he just said that they’re only making drinks and no ice cream since they’re about a close..I got there at 9:38 pm.
A majority of us have all worked food and we know how the last hour can be right before closing. Leave it to a “man” to not be hard worker. The dude just didn’t want to take my order because he doesn’t work hard as his other female coworkers do and was too lazy to make an ice cream 22 minutes before closing when I been served 10 minutes before closing.
I guess I’ll be going to McDonald’s across the street to get my ice cream or jack in the box..
