    This place is kinda a mess. The kitchen was slammed so food was coming out slowly, but they had a couple big orders so I understand. My app order for dine in was prepared as to go so I waited extra time due to the confusion. Food was average corporate chain food. Not terrible but not bad. Not a good value for the money. The atmosphere was lively and customers seemed happy. Lots of people using the space as a 3rd place style hang out. I even saw a Scrabble group playing some games. It's surprisingly tight in the walkway which feels a bit constricting but it's a nice place.

    I found a big fly in my food. Absolutely disgusting that they allowed this to happen. I have tried to contact them numerous times and through multiple mediums. Phone calls and email and no response or resolution no matter who I talk to, if I even get anyone to talk to. Absolutely ridiculous.

    The booth seat divided by a plywood panel, the one closest to the pickup area, was very distracting. A lady working on the other side kept bumping or hitting things against the divider, and I could feel every movement and vibration through the seat. It was really uncomfortable and made it hard to feel comfortable or concentrate. Because of the distraction, everyone in our group eventually moved to a different booth. Please pay closer attention next time.
