    The lady was rude and real snappy. Than my mom asked her a question about the snapper how much or is she talking about the board is right there don’t you see the price and there was no price there. Than got smart saying well you don’t need the price.

    This was one of the worst food experiences I’ve ever had. The food was absolutely nasty — honestly tasted worse than old school cafeteria food. To make it worse, it made my stomach hurt and had me feeling horrible after eating it. The service was just as bad — they didn’t try to accommodate me at all. The person making my food even went to the bathroom in the middle of preparing it, then came back with an attitude. Completely unprofessional, unsanitary, and unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anybody. Save your money, your health, and your stomach.
