    I’ve either been to this location or had it doordashed 4 times in the last month. The first visit was an order of 2 hot dogs and one order of onion rings. After 20 minutes and no food I left. They weren’t busy. Went back a couple of days later and they only were taking cash. DoorDashed from there a few days later and they sent the wrong food. Luckily DoorDash refunded me. Went again yesterday for a Diet Coke and they were out of Diet Coke. Seems like they have a management issue.

    The brunette with the black and white skull sweatshirt working the drive-thru at 3:55pm today was NOT happy when I pleasantly asked to add a drink to my order. After stomping off to make the change, she returned and snatched my card to run it. This is the rudest I've been treated here. The service is always slow. They gave me the wrong drink and didn't give me my mozzarella sticks. I'll avoid this location going forward.

    Food tasteless. Had to ask three times for ketchup and salsa. Ordered a large diet vanilla coke, got and charged for a medium. Had to stop her to get my full order in. Needs more patience and better listening skills

    I didn’t think things could get worse, but this place consistently disappoints. Often 20 minutes or more for 2 iced teas. This location often disables online ordering negating the happy hour 1/2 price drinks. Won’t be back.

    Arrived at the drive thru window with ZERO customers at 6:45am. Ordered a simple breakfast burrito combo. Watched an order be delivered to a stall who arrived AFTER me. Ended up leaving the window at 6:58am with only my drink because I was due for work at the hospital at 7am. Essentially a $10 large diet Dr Pepper. Expensive drink. While waiting, I observed through the window as the employee appeared to wander aimlessly and slowly with zero to no urgency. I want to say her name was Sharon or Sheryl (?). I will venture across the street to McDonald’s from now on for “fast food”. This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered this issue and nearly every time, this specific employee has been there.
