    Great place to get a burger fries milkshake but it cost too much to buy from there. Go on to the market and got more for your money then you do here

    Food delivered was cold. They also forgot one item. Then there was no way to get ahold of them to remedy the stuation as the driver had no contact number and the restaurant did not pick up the phone. Huge disappointment.

    The food was still good, but used to be way more affordable and my burger felt lighter than it used to. Gone are the signs boasting "best burger for $5".I got a hot dog with no bun for my toddler and it was $6.99! A regular cheese/bacon burger, a small bacon burger, 2 lg fries and lg drinks, with $7 hot dog, almost $57.

    Friendly staff with genuine smiles. Prices are a little high these days, but they are pretty much everywhere. The burger was excellent, the fries crispy and hot - everything just the way I like it!
