    Food is good, served hot and fresh if eating inside. Extremely slow service though with only one person at the counter taking orders plus filling them himself. Get this dude a helper or 2! Very cold inside the restaurant, my fingers, hands, face, and nose were all cool to the touch. Not a good way to keep people coming back.

    Worst place to eat manager J is very rude. We went through the drive-through was told to wait so we waited 10 minutes then he finally came on took our order after everything that we ordered is that it are you done? Pulled up to the window to pay and I asked What did we order because he had us forget after asking every single time we placed the order if we was done. Instantly gave us attitude, when he went to give us the drinks and a carrier, I informed him I had a surgery and he looked at me as if I was inconveniencing him because I could not take it through the drive-through that way I had to take them one by one. I attempted to call the manager on duty. He answered, didn’t know what store number he was didn’t know who his superior was just a very awful experience.
