    Ordered through app for delivery. Ordered Thai Chicken Salad and got a wrap instead no straw for smoothie. Called them at the store , NO ANSWER. Not to mention on the app the salad is listed as $8.79; was charged $11.34! WTH???? Why did it go up $3.00? Come on guys, do better. And please do not send me the robotic answer that has been sent to everyone on here, just make it right and do better!

    Placed order online, arrived on time (230pm) to pick up my already paid for order and doors were closed. Girl at drive through told me they received a large order and can not fulfill mine (one sandwich) but they took my money. Called them couple times, every time I asked to speak with the manager they would drop the phone. Drove there to get my money back and girl at the register told me manager is in process of returning money back, we are talking about a week later. This company had my money for A Week!!! They did not try to make it right. I finally got my money back, but drove out of my way twice there (gas money down the drain) and unnecessary stress to get my money back left very unpleasant feeling about this company. My company orders alot from them and that will not happen in future, we will be taking our business somewhere else. VERY POOR customer service!

    I really hate to leave a bad review and complain because I normally have a good experience at this place but this is the 2nd day in a row I have ordered on the app and arrived only to not get my order or immediate refund. The first time there were workers there, but I was told they were closed for a large catering order. Today there wasn’t even anyone in the store at 2:30 pm. They really need to stop taking online orders that they aren’t going to fulfill

    Never a bad experience here I don't mind waiting.. especially when there's people ahead of me I don't expect my food and drink to be ready before I even get there...unlike most privileged souls on here that like to post bad reviews because they have to wait 7 minutes👌 the smoothies are always spot on .. and the food is always spot on and flavorful thank you for being on our beloved James Island!!
