    Smelled like rotten milk. The bottoms of the blenders had visible mold and food particles. Both of the 16 year old employees were in the walk in cooler and were not at the front counter. I am patient with people cleaning in the back, but the whole restaurant was gross and unclean. I can’t express how badly it smelled of rotten milk.
