We got 2 burgers and a large fry. We ordered at 9pm on a Sunday. It was not super busy. Took 40 minutes to get our food. Fries were hard and cold, not to mention we ordered a large and it was not even halfway full. I had 2 small pieces of onion on my burger, barely any ketchup or mustard. Disappointed.

Terrible Experience. I went to order, it took 45 minutes for me to get my order for takeout. The young lady passing out people’s orders was more worried about playing with her phone. French fries were cold just sitting out. I will never go there again. I also will advise others.

Food took over an hour, it was inconsistent with when it came out. All the employees were rude.

I’ve always heard how good this place is and decided to check it out. It did not disappoint! Everything was so hot and delicious and Maria was so helpful when we ordered. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, and hands-down amazing food.

We placed an online order for pickup, and when I went to collect it, they told me it had already been delivered, which was a lie. They didn't want to do their job and they didn't give me my money back. They stole from me, and on top of that, they treated me terribly.
