    Ordered food from door dash. 4 things: mozzarella sticks, ocean water, supersonic breakfast burrito, and “premium” chicken bites. Received a Powerade, not ocean water. Chicken bites tastes like burnt oil and smelled like it, with 90% breading and 10% chicken. It was seriously as if someone picked out all the small bits at the bottom of the freezer bag. Completely inedible. Mozzarella sticks were fine. Was excited about my burrito because it was nice and hot. Missing jalapeños, had burnt eggs, and like 5 pieces of diced onion. Insane. Either they don’t know what they’re doing or they’re intentionally trying to piss people off.

    When I got my meal, the first thing I noticed was that my burger was straight up cold with big chunks of tomatoes, and my drink was just bad but the service was good.

    Very rude people, no bathrooms even though it says bathrooms, it doesn't look very lively it actually looks abandoned most of the time. I really hate going to that one. The one in Plant City is so much better.
