My son ordered from this location today. Server Jenny noticed that his hot sandwich order was cold and without waiting for him to say anything, she immediately warmed it up. That's good customer service!

Good location, easy access to drive thru. I was not overly impressed by the content of my salad. It looked less than it should have been. Not well presented but was fresh and tasted good. The drive thru to took a little while but not too long.

I had to ask where my food was multiple times after about 20-30 minutes, then when someone finally listened to me the people in the back kept saying they thought I was homeless and just trying to get free food.
