Experience is always pretty decent here, but here lately the service has went down hill. Placed a $50 order and my milkshake never showed up, my iced coffee had no vanilla in it so I’m not happy about that. Food itself is terrific but the drinks and service not so much.

I parked in a stall and waited 15 minutes for food that was clearly just sitting around. NOTHING was hot. I had two super breakfast burritos, two coneys, and two chili tots. All across the board inedible so we took it home to put in the airfryer. Didn’t reheat well. Waste of money.

As long as they continue to service their water filtration and change the fryer grease regularly, the food is great. The last 2 times seemed good but for a couple years back, every drink tasted like chlorinated water and the fried food tasted like rancid over used oil. I hope they keep on top of it more that its been corrected. Lots of stalls to park in. Service is friendly!
