I would review the food and smoothies but was not served because I was lied about all the blenders being broken at 8:50 and the grill being off.

Have been here several times before 9, for them to say they are actually closing already and wouldn’t make any more drinks . Just left 5 minutes ago and was told this . Firetower location . If hours are until 9 and someone come 8 minutes before it makes no sense not to make the drink .
