Poor customer service and improper handling of my food. I went the drive Thur wait almost 20 waiting while she was talking waving my wrap around like a pointer. I had to blow my horn after 5 min. She nor the supervisor apologize or even acknowledge the wait or that fact that I watched her waving my food around. And instead of an apology she talked shit under her breath I tried calling they don't have a working number and have a full vm. I have never had such poor service

Every person with whom I interacted was kind and accommodating; even giving me a complimentary bag of chips when I mentioned that it was my first time in! I’ll certainly be back, too, because the food and drinks are delicious!
