I hate to describe poor service in this industry. You never know the “why” behind it. Are they short-staffed? Is it hard to find help? Is the management poor? Do people just not care? But I will in this case because someone has to. I dread visiting this location in Winterset. Even using the mobile app for efficiency does nothing to speed things up. When I arrive my order is never ready and it’s always missing items. The staffing seems lean. One morning 1 gal was the only employee there. She was doing her best and still lashed out at me when I tried to give her encouragement. This morning the young man handed me my oatmeal through the window without it being placed in a bag and said thank you as if our transaction was complete. No bag, no spoon, no apples, cranberries or raisins. Just a bowl of oatmeal. When I asked for these items, he got them one by one. He brought the apples, but not the rest which I had to ask for again. Then he brought the cranberries and raisins. I again had to ask for a spoon, a bag and the napkins. After 5-6 trips for each item individually I was at a loss. Whoever owns this location needs to anonymously visit. You have no idea what is occurring at this place. At all.

I have called multiple times today and no one answers. I specifically requested my children's meals be prepared a certain way due to severe allergies and yet even though it was repeated back and on the receipt it was still prepared incorrectly. Thankfully I learned to check their food before they touch it. Extremely disappointed.
