    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.

    What can I say about 10 years ago 5 this place was clean and loved going , small town it's about all they have , if you go in the place your feet sticks to the floor , you can look at the behind the counter and restrooms disgusting, the behind the counter looked like nonone cleaned in 5 years the people cooking was sweaty wearing t shirts wet with sweat never have I ever seen a restaurant like this food is unheard of if your ordering reals food , cannot eat taste like cardboard, called the owner she made excuses said they pass inspection with flying colors and the dogs and people that come in think they own the place and that is why it stinks like them and the people work there keep the place spotless lol she must never go in there but says she's there 40 hours a week , walk in take a pic stay a while hopefully the Headquarters will shut this place down , it's beyond help

    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!
