    I should have left when seeing the cost was almost $32 for two small shakes, medium shake, medium slush and large sprite. When given my order there was overflow on lid and went all over me, down my coat. My daughter was soaked from all the liquid from the carrier. When I got home ALL I did was try to lift the medium shake out of the carrier and it broke in two. Wondering if all the overflow was what caused the styrofoam to be so weak because there was spilled drink all in bottom of carrier. So upset because things aren’t cheap anymore and got ripped off. Sprite was almost all ice and lost half a medium shake. On top of being a sticky mess. There is normal overfill on drinks which is no big deal but this was excessive to soaking us which is carelessness. I rarely ever leave a bad review so that says something.

    Ordered a smasher burger and chili cheese tots. I enjoyed the smasher burger and tots. Dont be fooled like me, the fork was under the chili cheese tots.

    They don’t want to work. Listen I get it. Getting paid barely anything to do a job sucks but you chose that job. Everytime I order uber eats from here after 9pm… if I order ice creams, they are never delivered. And the uber eats driver always says that they don’t give them the items necessary to complete the order and so they just deliver what was given. Whenever I go to this location past 10pm, the employees will “hide” in the back corner of the restaurant if you pull up to the drive thru. But they are in plain sight on their phones talking to each other. It’s frustrating. Y’all suck.
