Nahla was excellent with her service. I really like how the restaurants are more separate. Little chilly by the front door but everything else was fantastic. Hot food and delicious fries!

Ordered at 4:55, 15 mins to pickup as per app. Got our food at 6:15. Received no excuses. Watched others inside, takeout, and drive thru get theirs and leave. Told "they made it fresh." We won't be going back soon.

My wife and I went for New Years. Got there around 6:45. Took until almost 7 to be acknowledged and seated. There was a couple before us and a couple that came in after us.The table they sat us at was dirty, still had chicken, salt and drink residue on the table. As we waited to be served. A family of three came in and was seated quite quickly. Then the couple that came in behind us walked by our table and said that the family of 3 that just got seated was served before them. Right after that we heard a table complaining that they had been waiting an hour for their meal. Then after almost 15 minutes our server had arrived to even greet us. By this time we had already decided to leave due to the wait and poor service. I have read the other reviews, so find this disappointing.
