    Came to get a shake at 9:55 pm and it took 25 mins for me to receive it through the drive thru. There was only one car ahead of me that order two drinks. It should not take almost 30 mins to receive one shake . And they brought me the wrong order when they finally approached me. The car behind me got there 2 drinks and hot dog before me.

    It was great food that they served us. They should work on their customer service a little bit. Overall though, it was a good experience.
