    Waited an HOUR for 4 items. There was no communication. Staff told us they lost our receipt 30 minutes into our wait time. Honest communication about wait times/refund on items or coupons would've been appreciated. Terrible service, management needs to step it up.

    Amber is the only employee here I’ve ever had a good experience with. Long wait cold food moody managers no sympathy or empathy when it comes to wait times. No split payments. Half the stalls are closed. And ALWAYS forget to take the pickles and onions off that I ALWAYS ask for.
