    The service was great but I asked for a garlic butter bacon cheeseburger and I ate a little under half the burger and if I ate any more of the burger I literally would have thrown up, they put way to much garlic butter on it.

    I stopped at the drive through for lunch during work and it was pretty good. They were busy, but I was back on my way in a few minutes. The food was good and the service was good as well. I would not hesitate to come back the next time that I am in the area.
