    The young lady behind the speaker was very kind and professional in both taking my order and delivering my order to my window. But you can really tell when the kitchen employees don't care because sadly it shows in the food. The order of tots, stail and grease soaked and honestly seamed like a "re-dip", my BLT on a regular bun, burnt bun, soggy with entirely to much mayo, and over grown with lettuce shrubbery. The bacon, what I found of it was crumbled, burnt to an unpleasant powder and buried beneath everything else. My mango sprite has so much mango syrup in it its not even drinkable. My wife's breakfast burrito also had the "re-dipped" tots which made everything else inside it taste of fryer oil. Why? Why is it so hard to get a decent meal anymore? People are working harder than ever for their earnings, ( except the kitchen crew here) do we not deserve to be fed a decently prepared meal when we choose to spend at your establishment? DO BETTER !!!!!!!!!! P.S. CHANGE YOUR FRYER OIL, ITS ALL YOU CAN TASTE.
