    Short staffed. Curent crew seems lazy. Dirty restrooms and loby. Floors haven't been moped in a long time. I'm not going back inside this location to dine. However it seems pretty laid back. Always an empty lobby. My food set there till I asked for it. Drive through is 1st priority at this location.

    The food was fresh and hot, and tasted good, and the service wasn't terrible albeit a little slow. Our cashier was very friendly. The main negative i had about this place was that none of the tables were wiped down and the floor was filthy with mud and dirt. For me, a clean restaurant is a must and this location dropped the ball.

    Writing reviews after going on a Michigan to New Mexico Midwest Road Trip. This place was one of the lowest quality customer service and quality experiences I have had along with McDonald's and Papa John's nearby. I called ahead of time and the phone system clearly doesn't work, bad service straight up! Would recommend stronger service protocols!
