Will not be back. The lady that gave me my food smushed my chili hot dog so all the cheese and chili is on the wrapper.

The lady with the brown curly hair, I believe she was the manger at the time was so rude. She wouldnt get my order when I told her multiple times if she could please check if it was ready. Then she would just walk away and snuff at me. Then when I got my food it was cold and then I found a hair in it. I think she might have done it. Won't be going back.

Stopped in to feed my four kids after a sporting event. We placed a larger order, and while waiting, a woman in the back was loudly cussing repeatedly in a way that clearly felt directed at our order.
It happened more than once, and with kids present, it became uncomfortable enough that we never even received our food and ultimately drove off.
I understand busy shifts, but customers—especially families—shouldn’t feel disrespected or unwelcome for ordering food. Very disappointing experience.
