Incredibly rude staff. Waited 15 minutes before even placing an order. There was 1 person in front of me in line with no one on register. Then waited an additional 25 minutes for my single burger.

This Place has to be so unsanitary! Everyone is unorganized. And cross contamination of handling food and cooking it is all over the place. The food looks terrible coming out of the kitchen...Let's not even talk about the wait for your order just to find out they screwed your order up!👍👎👎👎👎

My order was supposed to be ready at 6:10pm last night. After asking for an update on my order 3 times, I left without any food at 6:47pm. A truly incompetent staff that couldn’t possibly care any less about their job or the satisfaction of any of their customers. The place looked filthy and every customer looked annoyed and unhappy. Never again

They weren't even that busy and yet were behind on every single order. Had zero efficiency to get the food done or done right. Waited 30 minutes for 2 burgers, both of which had zero space like we had asked and were burnt to a crisp. This is one of the worst fast food experiences I've ever had. Do not go here.

La hamburguesa pudo haber estado mejor, pero no regresaría a comprobarlo. Las hamburguesas llegaron frías y nos llegaban en destiempo, tardaron muchísimo. El servicio fue grosero. Las papas nos llegaron 20 min después de haber terminado. Más adelante están las Five Guys y están mucho mejores.
