FOOD: over priced chicken soup :
12/03/25 Wednesday
The chicken noodle soup is basically out of a can, quality and the amount in a cup(only filled half way)is not worth it( $5 + ? cents near $6).
It would be a next level or better if a creamy chicken noodle soup with more noodles & meat could replace current.… there’s a special brand that actually fulfills this purpose…. Not sure if allowed to mention it but it’s, “Progresso, and “ Campbells.” Just a new improved selection to replace the current selection…. Would be awesome and although I’m just one person, I’d be delighted to update my review if this is seriously considered and changed.
See photos attached of the meal we experienced recently.
Just beware future customers if you decide on their current chicken noodle soup item.

Waited in the drive thru for 30 minutes just to be told that “they’re really behind and can’t take any more drive thru orders.” It really wouldn’t take much effort or decency to notify the people waiting in line instead of wasting their time.
