Horribly long wait in the drive thru- just go inside, it’s quicker.

It’s a little slow going, so if you don’t mind waiting. This is the place for you. Smoothies were fine.

Very sneaky when it comes to the fan fest "free smoothie" deal. Youre supposed to order a food or bowl in order to get the free smoothie. But instead of getting the full cost of the smoothie free for me it was $6.99 Bahama mama, they only take off $4.99 . Apparently bcuz the cost of the smoothie is lower when you order food. But I didnt even want food, I only got food to get a free smoothie. So basically the smoothie still costed me $2. Sneaky, sneaky.

Got 2 delicious drinks delivering in flavor
Sunrise sunset with substituted pineapple for blueberries and got the mocha madness delivering in mocha and coffee flavor not overly sweet and it tasted healthy honestly. Great service from our cashier and drink maker 👏
UPDATE we have tried a few food items like the Chipotle chicken flatbread which has great sauce and cubed chicken sometimes they drown it in way too much sauce and needs more chicken. The Thai chicken wrap is so good but a bit pricey. The sausage cheese dilla is a nice smaller option that comes with a mild spicy salsa.
Overall since we visited more times we noticed they are not always consistent in food and drink and definitely not in service since I left this review a month ago about.
Service is so weak now they don't greet you in and they don't greet you out and i dine in so i get to see how they treat guests that order in and those who pick up online orders its not welcoming. I'm definitely coming back for the drink and quick bite not for the service. Only had that 1 great male worker who welcomed us so great with his service we gave him a tip for my first part of review which was a 5 star. You would hope out of the many workers who aren't doing something one would greet you in or out.
