    10/24/25 8:00 PM Restaurant was very filthy. Dined in and had to sit at a dirty booth because there were no tables cleaned at all. Employee who was 'cleaning' was walking around the dining lobby on his phone. Although the food was pretty good, seeing other Google reviews along with the atmosphere associated with my visit tonight, I will not be eating here again. 2/10.

    Drive thru breakfast order was incorrect, I went in with my food and receipt. The manager took care of my order. She and the gentleman at the register were professional and polite. Mistakes happen and I received no pushback from them.

    Italian with extra ham came with no meat at all. Called for a refund and was told I had to go back and get a receipt. I live 20 minutes away. Thanks! Who orders a meat sandwich with the higher cost and asks "hold the meat"?! WHO??? Jack Nicholson "What, no toast? Then get me a toasted chicken salad and hold the chicken salad" that's who? I can't believe it actually happened, but I ordered extra meat!

    Didn't wait long for food, and it was delicious 😋. Little bit pricey, worth it for the upgrade on fast food. Plenty of menu items to choose from. Staff were super courteous and polite.
