    Food is good. Items sold a la carte so if you want fries or chips don't forget to add. Chips in my burger was a nice surprise. The fries were nothing special. They offer free pickles while you wait for your food. They were a nice little snack. The thai tea shake was delicious. Would come back again to try something else

    I love the chocolate Shake in this restaurant. I order online at home. I drive about 20 minutes to this restaurant, and wait another 30 minutes inside the restaurant. In general, one Shake costs me 1 Hour, and it's terrible. Do you need to do something about it, if you have to wait 1 hour for one shake, what happens if I order food? 2 hours?

    We used to go here and there acouple months ago and it was a good go to when nothing else sounded good, but we do not plan on coming back they changed their meat completely to cheap frozen costco patties that hold no flavor when cooked. Seems like alot of their menu changed but same prices if not more expensive kind of sad but it is what it is wasted 65$ when any other time I would never second guess the price considering the quality they would give in the past...
