Good burger and fries. As close to homemade as I have had in a fast food restaurant. A bit overpriced but so are most things today. Decent atmosphere and great service.

The worst customer experience I’ve ever had.
The manager, Altro, treated us like we were trying to get free food instead of taking responsibility for their mistake.
Two weeks ago, my husband bought a burger from this place, and we found a melted piece of plastic inside the lettuce. I called the next day to report it. Instead of showing concern or apologizing, the manager only asked if we had a receipt. I said we didn’t, but I could show the credit card transaction. He said okay and told me to come by anytime for a replacement burger.
When I went in today, Altro came out looking very annoyed — no “sorry,” no “are you okay.” The first thing he asked was again if I had a receipt or order number. When I explained that I had spoken to him two weeks ago, he said, “Oh, that was me,” and then told me rudely, “We don’t give out free food without proof.”
This restaurant put plastic in my food and instead of apologizing or showing any empathy, they treated me like a scammer.
Truly the worst place to eat — completely disrespectful to customers.

Clearly their employee cannot tell the difference between grilled mushroom and grilled onion.

Manager (black shirt on grill) blatantly made a customer feel bad because the employee handed her the wrong bag and didn’t confirm the ticket. Not one single apology for inconvenience just point blame at customer for not checking herself. Her number was 38 but she was handed 33. Never have I ever seen a manager act this way to a customer in front of everyone.
Also no smiles and no welcome in. Non of the key 5 guy staples of service were shown. For that price and attitude why shop there.?.
