    Our first time dinning here. But the lady that waited on us was so wonderful. She gave us her tour which was on the kiosk she went step by step explaining everything. And she said she lets you know if the there is a special. She was awsome. Her name was Jennifer. So friendly knew her stuff.

    i neverrrrrr leave bad reviews but oh my GOD. every single time i go here i wait in the drive thru 20+ minutes. today i was literally the only car there when i pulled up and they STILL took over 15 minutes for a sandwich! i could understand during a busy lunch rush that things would take a little longer, but to be the only car there and still taking that long??? that’s crazy i’m sorry. the food was amazing and the guy working the window was very sweet but i don’t know if i can keep justifying spending so much money on a place that takes SO long every time i go!

    Ok first of all I don’t feel good I went to the drive thru to pick up my food like i I usually do when I place an order with DoorDash, but I guess today they weren’t going to do it and I’m assuming in the future they weren’t going to do it through the drive-thru anymore so I went around and parked my car in front of The door just to pick up my food and go because I had to be to work early today and I’m in a rush and the lady decides to tell me that I can’t park my car right there and BEFORE SHE GIVES ME MY FOOD I need to move my car so why can’t you just give me my food especially cuz it was ready and then tell me not to park there in the future and I would’ve been on my way make that make sense. Get it together I expect better out of someone who is older then me to have more experience on how to handle situations like this.

    The attention to detail in the cleanliness and excellent service from one of the workers caught my attention. I felt compelled to ask. His name is Mr. Payton. A very good worker. Delicious sandwiches and coffee
