- EIEmad IbrahimOct 19, 20251.0Flew into town from Mississauga, first time here… called to place an order for pickup after a long day of meetings and the lady was super rude. Time is 9:26 Sunday October 19,2025. This sucks I was really looking forward to a burger. The employee told me her name and position, I don’t feel the need to single anyone out here. Im sure the food is great however client service needs to be refreshed.
