    Sitting in a stall waiting on my food when I saw an employee hit her vape threw the window I understand needing to hit your vape but in the restaurant where customer can see you is definitely not okay

    I can't say enough good things about this place. Well, it would be a lot cooler if you could always get the cake batter shake however it's just not the case so a strawberry cheesecake shake will do! Something about onion rings goes so well with it! How do they make that onion ring batter?!

Because you mess other people day up .. and I tired to call and of course no answer play on the phone take it off the hook.
