The food is very good. The smoothies are very good although one of them was very weak. I took it back and they replaced it with a new one which was very good. They did mess up once by not giving me my complete order. When I got home I saw I was missing part of my order I went back and they made me another one. Major bummer though.

I just got a smoothie right now and because I added peanut butter to the normal drink, I couldn’t get it replaced because I modified there smoothie and They said it is not there fault I don’t like it. They made it with all ice and watered down so it had zero flavor. I told her I managed one and know exactly what happened this is someone who added more water and ice than the normal recipe.
So because it wasn’t there own and I added peanut butter….They couldn’t replace it for a different smoothie. I couldn’t believe the unprofessionalism and would never return to this location they clearly do not know how to run a business!

Ordered pickup 2 sandwiches, 2 smoothies and 2 chips. They gave me 2 bananas!?!? So I go back around the drive thru and say Hi do you guys have chips here? And they say oh yes! Like what the hell? Okay so give me the chips I paid for not bananas. Not the first time they’ve done weird things like that.
