    I recently ordered off the app to pick up my food at 6:30 PM. I got there around 6:32 PM. I ordered an extra large chili cheese Coney along with some chili cheese fries. Once I received my food, it seemed like it’s been sitting for 15 to 20 minutes. It was cold and disgusting. The waiter was nice and friendly, but overall, I wasn’t satisfied with the food at all.

    They stay pretty busy so a little bit of wait time is expected

    This location is disgusting. They don’t wear gloves, even when handling the vegetables for your burger. They will pickup something that’s been dropped and place it on your order anyhow. They have cockroaches in the back near all the food. This place should be shutdown. I will NEVER eat there again and I will be sure to let everyone know!!!

    This location is consistently very bad. Old hard and dry food being served. No care by the employees. They don’t even know how to wrap a burrito. Corporate really needs to step in.
