- JJJamesDec 27, 20251.0Super high priced very high calorie drinks; the food is about a notch better than at a gas station. Probably the various drinks at the gas station are similar and cheaper. The best part is the free WiFi
- BMB MDec 20, 20251.0As of opening 12/30 the restaurant restroom was completely disgusting, I brought to the attention of the server. I returned hours later and it was in the same condition. They definitely could’ve placed an out of order sign on the door than have their customer walk in seeing this filth. This is also concerning of anyone serving food to the public using this restroom.
- VCVonjakob CainNov 4, 20251.0I went through the drive thru at this location at 8:40PM 11/4/2025…. ON A TUESDAY only to be told by a couple 17 year old girls that they usually stop serving at 8:40PM ahahahahahaha. what??????? Because they close so soon at 9pm I was told…. Took all of four minutes to make a smoothie and heat up a flatbread sandwich.
- KBKawhi babySep 19, 20251.0I only gave one star because I couldn’t give zero. The customer service at this location is awful. Not one employee acknowledged me when I walked in. I stood at the counter for five minutes while the drive-thru girl finished her order, and another employee wiped down the counter without saying a word. When I finally placed an order, I was told a higher price than advertised. They didn’t bother to adjust it, so I walked out. This location is an absolute joke.
- ADAmber DriverMay 28, 20211.0After going to DoorDash to place an order, I was informed that my the restaurant was “temporarily unavailable”. I called to ask why as their Uber Eats was open and not DoorDash, they said they didn’t know. So being the very understanding fellow restaurant employee I am, I placed an order through Uber Eats. Five minutes later I receive a notification that my order had been cancelled. No big deal, I thought, they must just be sold out of something I ordered. I called to ask why my order was cancelled, so I could replace the order. Then I was told that the restaurant has no access to the order. Not believing this for a second (keep in mind that a lot of my job has been handling orders through delivery services, always through a tablet), I asked if they had a tablet in the building. The woman on the phone said “We have our monitors”, I asked again about a tablet issued through Uber Eats, before being hung up on.
