Service a little slow but that is likely due to it being the switch from breakfast to lunch and having several specials running. It's difficult to schedule enough help for everything and also be profitable. However food was hot, fresh, and excellent...& that's huge to me as another huge fast food chain typically runs heavy on labor but still ends up selling "expired" food even after making the customer wait.

The food is pretty good for fast food, it is usually fresh, but does take a while to get your food sometimes. The ice cream is really good !!!
