- CMCathy MonsonDec 31, 20251.0My review is about the same as every one else's. I went up to the front and told the cashier how poorly this place was taken care of. He went back and told the cooks. Isn't there a manager there or some in charge that does something. Will think twice about coming back.The bathrooms were bad. Do the workers work or goof off while they are here!!!!!!!Does the owner read any of these post. Maybe not or maybe something would be done.
- NNNita Dallas (Nita)Dec 29, 20255.0Love their arcade and food
- BSBrian souleDec 7, 20253.0It's pizza ranch
- DDDocNov 23, 20251.0There is not a single clean spot to sit. Everything, ie: walls, tables, chairs, floors are so sticky you litterally can’t wipe a napkin across it or it tears and sticks to the table. There is so much crud build up it makes for a gross unwanted experience. Staff were chipper but daily cleaning would benefit the amount of buildup you have on every surface!
- GAGlow AnnNov 18, 20253.0so so had to wait for chicken some of the pizza was cold in the in the hot bar the salad bar could have been looking better they did try to get plates picked up timely for that I did give them a tip sometimes I think these young kids need a little more adult leadership we were there at 430 5 on a Saturday night when we first got there it was not busy and then it did get busy
