- MGMinerva GallegoDec 12, 20252.0i usually love coming here but the people working today were just NOT it, older lady was very rude when asking about portions and flavors and cashier was just complaining in front of everybody about being short staffed making everybody just feel uncomfortable. i’m not one to usually leave reviews let alone bad ones but i was just overall disappointed with this place i usually enjoy coming to
- AMAriel McCulloughNov 25, 20252.0My experience at this location on November 24 ,2025 around 6pm was horrendous. The young woman who began my order was polite, although I had to wait for her finish making her own food before she began preparing mine. The next person who finished preparing my food was so unpleasant and unprofessional, I could not believe it. Not only was she talking about topics that were inappropriate for the workplace (especially in front of a customer), there was no sense of urgency whatsoever to complete my order. I was the only customer in the restaurant at the time, so there should not have been a delay. The young lady who began my order had to nudge the second server to complete my order. The young woman turned to me and stared blankly, then finally asked what I would like to complete my order. I told her I was waiting for her and she gave a flippant response. There were four other employees, all standing around nearby. One of the onlookers was a manager. No one redirected the rude server, nor intervened, even though they all saw and heard the rude exchange. I won't be returning to this location, and I will tell everyone I know about this experience and discourage them from patronizing this location since the staff apparently has no issue with delivering disrespectful service, unprovoked.
