    The manager was very rude when she made a mistake in running up our order and it wouldn’t have been a big deal if she didn’t go around the corner while still in earshot of us and proceed to badmouth me for placing the order wrong which I didn’t, and when confronted she said she doesn’t have time for this, extremely unprofessional and we will not be going back because of it.

    I usually get great service here. I’m not sure what was wrong with the young lady giving the food out. She rolled her eyes and acted like we were a huge inconvenience. We got 2 ice cream cones. When I come here I usually get a smiling face and friendly service. Maybe this person shouldn’t be interacting with the customers.

    Google advertised them as open until 10:30pm the signs on the door list them as open until 11:00pm on Fridays we arrived at 10:00pm and the manager came out not necessarily rude or anything but as if we were an inconvenience, and said they close at 10:00pm and that they’ve always closed at 10. They need to update their hours or hold true to the advertised hours of operation. When they actually do provide service the food is decent.
