    Waited in line about 15 minutes. When I got my food I didn’t realize half of it was missing. I was missing my wings. I looped back around and there was only one car at the window ahead of me. I waited another 15 minutes just to pull up to the window for them to say they were out of wings. Cheeseburger was slapped together really nasty and cold. Loaded fries were in a huge pool of grease.

    I got fresh food and my order was correct all while they were standing on business cussing eachother out and a hair away from an all out brawl. Impressive and motivational. And yummy.

    I was very disappointed with how downhill checkers went. First of all, I waited in the drive thru for 35 minutes and there were only 2 cars in front of me the whole time. Second, when you get up to the drive thru, it’s not a person taking orders, it’s AI or something. Every time I said an item it kept trying to make me order it for a bigger size. I kept having to say no. I ordered my meal and the price seemed a bit higher than I expected. Turns out it upcharged me and made my meal large when I said medium. When I got home, I started eating my burger and it had exactly what I had asked to not be on the burger (I said no mayo and no mustard). Not only that, but I got the fry lovers burger and half the fries in it were hard as a rock. I bit down and my partner sitting next to me was like “what was that”, the crunch was so loud because the fries were burnt. My burger was not fresh at all. Everything was so salty and my drink was watered down. I paid $27 for everything and almost the whole order was wrong and quality was poor.

    Switched to an AI at the ordering box. Didn't understand my order and gave wildly wrong amounts for my order value. Will never be returning here.

    Walk up order window, customer service lady was kind and served us the best she could but they were short staffed and there wasn’t much too do about that
