I ordered online to take out. I went to store pick up it was so quick to put all my orders together girl was like it’s door dash whatever order is easy which i wasn’t door dash. So she put everything quickly together which she forgot to add my 2 cheeseburger to the order. I drove 20 min back home opened bag and saw my order misplaced in a rush. I tried to call them back about missing order no body answered the phone.Chicken tinders were so dry and half of them overcooked and over sauced. I wouldn’t recommend this place and I won’t come back here for any food.

If I could give this trash establishment 0 stars I would . horrible management. The young staff have been way nicer than any of the mangers i’ve seen/interacted with they seem to be doing the best with what they’re handling . However The skinny tall one with the neck tats is very disrespectful and condescending. Not to mention we can hear staff in the back complaining about service. Just RUDE and distasteful experience overall . 0/10

Honestly the guy with neck tattoos working the drive thru was just super rude, I asked for another minute bc I wasn't sure what I wanted and he said "just so you know we close in 30 minutes" and clearly it's not going to take me half an hour to decide. Sure maybe it was a bit late to go but I've only worked in restaurants so I know it's just part of the job. Then my boyfriend ordered a blizzard and the employee was very condescending. My boyfriend said what he wanted and the employee repeated it back in a very rude tone and me and my boyfriend thought he said "saucer" instead of "soft serve" causing some confusion. When we said we weren't sure what a butterfinger saucer is, the employee then said "saucer, it's what ice cream is 🙄" which was just a rude and an unprofessional way to handle that. Overall he was just strangely angry and rude for really no reason.
