The line took an unnecessary amount of time, considering how small the orders in front of me were. Employees seemed like they did not want to be there.

drive through and service sucks at this location. we have been through the drive through twice now and have been told to order then when we order there is no further communication. then when we’ve gone up to the window the staff have an attitude and tell us we were supposed to order at the box even though we had been sitting there for 10 minutes with no replies to us saying “hello” and nobody in front of us . overall strange experience z

Considering I usually order from this place upwards of four times a week, I will absolutely not be doing so any longer. There was a small black HAIR in my chicken in the chicken and cheese quesadilla. And when (as usual) I ordered an extra sauce cup on the side, this time they smeared it allllll over inside of the entire quesadilla making it super drippy messy and barely edible. Also as of about the last three times I've ordered, they stopped giving me a straw along with my smoothie? Super annoying, super inconvenient every time I order from this location now.

I’ve come through about a dozen times, and the service has always been lackluster. Lately though, it’s taking FOREVER to receive my orders. I’ve tried placing an online order to bypass this problem, but they keep closing the lobby due to a lack of staffing, meaning I still have to wait in the drive through line. The last time I ordered something, it took about 40 minutes to get my order. A to-go order from a sit down restaurant would have been faster. I’d avoid, the management here is nonexistent.
