I ordered pickup & order was ready when I got there. I was eating a little after I got home & as I was eating my fries with a cup of cheese I noticed to strands of hair. I probably won't be eating at this location again.

They hadn't let me down before, but who the hell puts CHEESE on the Italian beef and omits the hot gardinara? I don't know who prepared my order, but I just want to tell you that I hate you with every fiber of my being.

It took 30 minutes to get an order that I placed online. The employee “Barbara” is very unhelpful. Horrible attitude. Kept sending me to the pickup counter to get my food and she end up having my order. A disorganized mess would be a perfect way to describe this place. Last time I’m visiting this chain.

On the website said our food supposed to be ready at 4:08, we arrived to the place at 4:30. Our food wasn’t ready until 5!!!
The lady over there was only telling us to go from one spot to other. What kind of place do that?! Doing the online order in the order they want or what? Never coming to this location again. Many of other people with online orders was having the same issues. Terrible service
