    Why does it take so long to get food in the drive up? It’s literally 20+ minutes every time. I guess next time I’ll just go through the drive through and park to get a halfway decent experience. Update: I just had to leave. They never were bringing my food. Awful staff

    They usually have a bad tone on the speaker and if you want to sit and wait forever for literally just drinks, here’s the place to do it. I just waited 40 minutes for 4 large drinks.
