    Waited FOREVER for food that definitely was not worth it. Service was friendly, but definitely not speedy.

    The amount of time to get food is astronomical. Placed an online order at 12:31. The app said my food would be ready by 12:37. I check into a stall by 12:35. I did not receive my food until 12:52. I ordered a chili dog meal and a corn dog. If they were busy, I'd be a little more understanding. This is also not the first time my food has taken forever. The only saving grace was that most of my food was super fresh. The tots were a little stale but not too bad. They unfortunately never seem too busy. I wish the service was better, but I don't see them lasting to long, unless things change.

    My burger was messy! Now condiments on the outside of the burger and wrapper than on the burger. I was irritated just by trying to eat it with it being so messy.
