Strange place: lake a FFRestaurant in a dungeon. So many delivery orders takes forever, making eat-in and take out orders twice as long to place. Food is over cooked, sandwiches are ill-prepared (not organized, like patties are never situated on the bread), and not very tasty, that is unless you like fries, fish, and burger sandwiches cooked in yesterdays grease. Grrrrrrr!
Staff - although juggling lots of tasks, for example, the cashier also fetches, bags, and distributes the delivery orders to drivers, bags other orders, etc., - are the nicest, most considerate people, who would require and appreciate your patience should you go there, but don't 🛑 find another location, anyplace else. You'll thank me later.
