    The new peppermint brownie shake sounds good. I ordered one when it first came out and was highly disappointed because it was a cup of vanilla shake with a little peppermint sprinkled on top. I was driving and too far away when I realized it. Tonight I decided to try again. I’m not feeling well so my husband picked it up and brought it to me. Please excuse the background noise but watch as I dig all the way down. Such a $6 disappointment!!!!

    Essen und Drinks sind lecker. Speziell die Smashed Burger und Limeade. Jeder Parkplatz hat einen eigenen Bestellschalter und man bekommt das Essen ans Auto geliefert.

    11.00 for a burger combo. Burger was good but what gets me is the amount of fries you get looks like a kids meal. For 11 bucks throw some damn fries in there. Onion rings are awesome though.
