    The expectation of the blizzard I ordered was perfect. My only complaint is how unbelievable dirty this establishment was. This place needs to be scrubbed from top to bottom including the windows and door handles. It was so bad.

    I'm typically not one to complain but when it seems like management sees no issue with how they are doing things it just rubs me wrong. I waited in the drive through for an unacceptable amount of time just to find out they had shut down their grill an hour before closing. I was then stuck in line and decided to just order ice cream. I asked to speak to a manager and was told she was on break. Had to explain to him that an upset customer probably warranted her to come off break and to please go find her which he finally did. manager told me she was the only one of at least four employees that knew how to run a grill (train your employees!) and she needed a break (apparently an hr long break). Also said she needed to clean the grill before close. Since when does a restaurant close their grill and refuse customers food an hour before they actually close just so they can clean? Serve your customers and clean after close!

    Staff use of the f word was disappointing. Person in front of me inquired about a senior discount which they said they do. She told them she was a senior. He rang her up and didn't give her the discount. She asked him if he gave the discount. He said no. Never offered to make it right. Floor was very sticky and we were the first ones in when it opened. Lots of room for improvement here.
