Always busy location, staff are always working hard. Friendly staff still smiling, though fast-food folks usually don't get paid well.

If you want cold fries, rolled eyes, surly service without a smile, with a side of rude attitude, this location is your best bet! God forbid you dare ask for anything to your liking, for it will be refused. Management needs retraining and investment in true customer service.
