    They charged me twice for my food and they will not answer the phone so I can get my refund. They ripped me off $22. I've been trying to call them all day. No answer. Now I have to take off work early and drive all the way back up there during the day to try to talk to someone that can help me.

    They gave me stale cold fries. That's all I ordered. $4 for nasty fries that I had to wait for. Long enough for them to sit there and get nasty.

    Ontop of refusing to renovate and add a drive through they do scummy stuff like if you order French toast sticks they will charge you $0.30 for the syrup automatically or if you pay cash some of the staff will automatically keep a dollar or two instead of letting you choose to tip.
