    Ordered online. Waited 20 min after my order was supposed to be completed when no other orders were ahead of mine. In addition I saw others who placed their orders after mine in store receiving theirs before I did. The food was missing ingredients and the smoothies both tasted as though something was added to it that wasn’t the Splenda I requested substituted for the sugar. I tried to call the store back to request a refund multiple times and got no response. This is unprofessional and I do not recommend eating here in the evening. The morning/afternoon crew are the exact opposite and shouldn’t be blamed for this, just the evening crew!

    Food was VERY good, went here instead of Chipotle and was happy about my decision. Food is well priced and came out in less than 2 minutes, smoothies are slightly overpriced, but if you are a repeat customer, you can get one for $2 with a coupon. Would definitely recommend and come back!
