    Waited 20 minutes on car park for online order. Gave up waiting and went inside. It wasn’t even ready, waited 15 more minutes inside for two shakes and bad attitudes from employees. Came again today and the milkshake I ordered was only 4/5ths full of the cup. Won’t be returning.

    Terrible worst place I ever been too been waiting in line for an hour and some minutes only one car in front of me all u wanted was a cheeseburger. Don't come here unless you want to waste your time this shouldn't take this long I had to leave the line insane they can keep the burger. Go to DQ instead.

    No cars were there, but we decided to do drive through. Took around 5 minutes for the food. We ordered a cheeseburger and chicken tenders and tater tots. The chicken tenders tasted rubbery and like old fryer oil. The cheeseburger tasted like it was old and the burger was almost gray in color. The tater tots were okay but still not good. Will never go again.

    People were rude, was out of 44oz cups and didn't have tea. This is the 2 on d time visiting with the same results. Won't be a 3rd time.
