They gave me the wrong burger and used a coupon for it(wasting the coupon) and my fries are cold and stale. Not happy about this experience.

Had to leave after 10 minutes after not being served. Food counter was disgustingly dirty as well as the food preparation table. They seem to have replaced all their staff that had previously provided good customer service and cleanliness. I won't be returning to this franchise.

Some rude employees making comments about customers in the back thinking they can’t hear them. Terrible service and the food was poor. Ordered a mushroom burger for $10, it came with 1 mushroom and a few small pieces of one other mushroom. I asked for a bit more because it is a “mushroom burger” but was told that’s how many come on the burger and they will charge me for any extra. So I paid $10 for plain patty, cheese and two mushrooms (with some sort of sauce). Super disappointed in this location. Almost bought more things to take home and changed my mind after. Won’t be coming back.
