    The staff was very friendly and professional! There was a minor mistake with my order (I wasn't speaking clearly at the drive through). They corrected it with out any hesitation. The tots were fresh too! Which is always a plus.

    So ordered smashburger, med fries, peppermint chocolate shake. Got home smashburger had so many onions had to scrape off half, got small fries that I couldn't eat after one bite because they tasted like cooked in old grease. I ate half of burger and a couple fries and was sick for 2 days. Sad when your only meal out for the month cause I'm a senior and can't afford to eat out makes you sick!
