    Burgers always burnt dry and nasty. Barely got a fair amount of fries.

    Bad location always burning the cheeseburgers and never put the correct portion of fries. This is a "large" portion the size of a small.

    I asked for a little bacon cheeseburger and was over charged for the regular bacon cheeseburger. The girl at the register was rude and talking who knows what with the other workers in Spanish. My burger was basically uncooked!! Unbelievable service and I was super nice the whole time

    The person who took our order either needs to be re-trained on customer interactions or find another job. When we walked in he was talking to his coworker. As we approached the counter, he looked at us, turned his back to us, and continued talking to his coworker. When he decided he was ready to take our order, he came to the register with absolutely no welcoming or positive energy whatsoever. The cherry on top (or the nail in the coffin) was getting a large fry and having half of them be obviously twice-fried.
