- NMNick MossNov 13, 20252.0Staff barely acknowledge you when you come in and don’t even try to be friendly
- LDLeieshiea DrakeNov 8, 20251.0DO NOT come to this location they’re disgusting and RUDE. I came in to get food and the lady literally didn’t greet me but helped a couple behind me and when I politely waited until she was done with the other people she was rude and did not want to prepare my food and another employee was digging in her nose and blowing her nose on her shirt. When I say I will NEVER come back to this location I mean it and I will be sure to tell others as well.
- ASAmanda SmithNov 6, 20252.0The employees act like they are being held against their will. Not a smile in sight, everyone is miserable and quiet. It is a very uncomfortable feeling in there.
- IZIan ZelgowskiOct 31, 20251.0Super upset with this establishment. Ordered my food thirty minutes before I arrived using the website. Estimate was five to fifteen minutes. I showed up, food wasn't ready to go. All I wanted to know was if they even received my order, I could tell it wasn't ready. I politely asked the young woman at the register "excuse me can you see if you received an order for me?" and she, in a very frustrated and rude tone, said "we will get to you when we can". I waited another ten minutes and couldn't get anyone's attention. I couldn't wait any longer, my family including a toddler were waiting in my car. So I asked if they could just cancel my order. I told them it would have just been faster if I got in line when I got there instead of ordering online well ahead of time. The young woman again got angry with me, walked over to their online order screen, flipped through all the orders in front of me and said "these are all online orders sir, there are people ahead of you". And I said "that's fine, just cancel my order". She took my name and number and said she'd "get back to me". It was a very, very awful experience. I get being frustrated that you're so busy, but don't take it out on polite customers, and don't be short with them. All I wanted originally was confirmation that my name was on a ticket, somewhere. Just some acknowledgement that I was there waiting. I won't be ordering here again.
- MPMatthew ParadiseSep 9, 20252.0Got there at 10:30 when they opened and an employee walked right up to the door then filled up the ice tea machine and walked away. 3-4 minutes later someone else opened it up. They didn't have multiple items ready to order. I was in a hurry and this was aggravating. The rice wasn't even ready and they must have stopped cooking it too soon to make up for it because the rice was hard . Overall the food matched the experience which was bad.
