    We try to avoid this location when we can. Their wait times in drive through are always extremely long. We just ordered a smoothie and a quesadilla, receipt on the smoothie says 1:51 and we just finally pulled off at 2:05. And while i understand short staff or other things, this is a recurring issue at this store.
