    Truthfully, one of the best locations around. There are a few closer to me, but I’ll happily drive 15 minutes just to come to this one. The service is always great, the staff handle the food with care, and the selection is always fresh and fully stocked. My to-go order was neatly packed and organized, and I was greeted with a smile both when I walked in and picked up my food. Definitely appreciate the consistency and quality here! Thank you!

    Stopped by for a working lunch inside. Ordered from the kiosk and sat down. Overall, it is very quiet and clean in this location. Gracie announced my food and politely informed me on how to add a note on the kiosk for special food requests.

    I came in early with an order I just placed Today. It was very, very busy, but they got my order out Quickly and proficiently. The guy at the front was amazing and helped get everything ready quickly and was very attentive. I’m guessing he was the manager. I wish I got his name, but he was wearing a red shirt. Very kind and I was impressed. He even checked on everyone to make sure they were doing good. I never really write reviews, but I felt like I had to with this one. Thank you guys For creating a welcoming atmosphere. It’s hard to find that nowadays.

    I recommend using the app if you are looking to save time. Let's face it when you want food without much of a wait. I placed my order and it was ready for pick up as soon as I walked in. Everyone here was friendly and the atmosphere here was pleasant. Everyone was getting along. The chairs and tables where all clean. The drinks and bathroom 🚻 were equally clean. Overall I had a pleasant experience. I would come back and do recommend eating here. The parking here could be complicated depending on the time. There is a parking lot further down if you can't find one.

    Don’t charge for cream cheese if you can’t even put it in the bag. No excuses for missing items if there is literally no one in the store 👎🏾
