    We ordered a burger that was good. We also ordered a chilli dog and an order of tater tots. The hotdog was just warm, not hot. The tater tots were cold. We asked right away if we could have some fresh hot tots. The response was yes. We waited about about 15 minutes and asked when we would get the fresh tots. You could actually see the girl smiling through the window. She did bring them out right away, however the new tots were not hot. Just warm. We were at no point rude so the attitude was not deserved. We did however deserve what we paid for - hot food. There were no other customers present. 6:30 pm on a Sunday evening.

    No peppermint or brownie in my peppermint brownie bark milkshake and the server that brought the food up to my car didn’t even say anything so I just got surprised with a 6 dollar plain vanilla milkshake like it would be different if she said something but she didn’t so i had to drink a plain milkshake when i was expecting peppermint and brownie

    Been to this location a lot over the year and had similar experiences as the other one star reviews in the past. But they seem to have improved recently. Hot food. No long waits.
