- EPEric PhillipsOct 21, 20255.0The guacamole on the BLT needs to be ground not thick rubbery slices other than that very good
- GBGabriel BostonOct 1, 20252.0While working in the area for a few months, I came for lunch almost every day. You absolutely have to do an online order unless you’re going to be waiting 25-30 minutes for your food. They’re gonna mess your order up, guarantee it. And if you’re doing pickup, they like to bag it, stand there while they finish bagging 5 other orders, all while intentionally not looking back (you can tell) as they talk about stuff they seen online. And God forbid you interrupt their story and tell them that your order is right in front of them, and has been for the last 4 minuets because 1. They’re gonna have an attitude and 2. They’re gonna give you half the size of a half sandwich the next day. Remember when I mentioned it takes 25-30 minuets per order? Can’t hold anyone accountable because you’re definitely gonna be late from coming back from lunch. Honestly, if you’re on lunch break, STAY AWAY.
- DJDevon JonesAug 24, 20251.0Been here four times for lunch to go. Consistently order the chicken avocado melt with no “zesty sweet peppers.” Three times in a row my sandwich has been clobbered with “zesty sweet peppers.” Pretty straightforward, so you either have a standards/culture issue, and/or a training issue, and/or a quality assurance issue, and/or a leadership/supervision issue. Doesn’t help that our sandwiches were ready 25 minutes late and that you had more people standing around waiting than eating. Recommend you review your entire operation.
- CCCarlos CaldenteyAug 23, 20252.0My order was given to me 30 minutes after the expected time. I am ok with the order being late, but the lack of communication is what is making this bad review.
- NFN FAug 20, 20251.0Wish I could give a zero. Waited in the drive through for 30 minutes for two sandwiches. Only sandwiches. Went in to ask for a refund, cashier was very apologetic and offered bakery items or drink on the house, while everyone in the kitchen is standing in a circle having a good of time laughing and talking. Good job guys.
