    No gloves dirty hands and face. Got the order wrong. Missing items and no receipt given back. As well as cold fries, wet pretty much milkshake blizzards and literally 1 napkin for the whole order . They were not busy.

    I wouldn’t leave this place 1 star if given the option. I have never seen a more filthy place ever. No matter where you looked whether it be counter tops or the floor there was food lying around. The area where they get the treats to mix in your sundaes and shakes had so much cross contamination and strawberries slopped everywhere and nuts, etc. The guy mixing shakes was not wearing gloves and wiped his nose. We had ordered shakes which we threw away because mine was supposed to be vanilla but had yellow chunks in it and my husband ordered a chocolate shake and said it tasted weird. The cooler doors to the left of the counter was so filthy and looked like they had never been cleaned. I am truly going to make sure the health department checks this place out before somebody gets sick. I am posting a picture of the yellow chunks in my shake also.
