    Ordered my food at 11:15pm felt bad that they closed in 45mins so I left a $5 tip. Got back to our cabin to enjoy our large mozzarella sticks and was disappointed that there was no cheese. 3/8 were worth eating, if I known that I would have saved my money. Assuming that they were fried to a crisp since the cheese in the bottom of the bag was hard and crunchy. Really disappointed because, all of us were looking forward to them.

    Response: I did that the first time, the manager contacted me and pretty much said sorry ... Filled it out again this time and haven't heard anything back. So don't believe their response... The operator doesn't care... Has been terrible and not getting better. Corporate doesn't care... Cause they allow it. Their social media team pretends to care. Their slushes have been melted more than one trip. They let me order stuff they don't have and didn't refund the difference. I contacted corporate and they did nothing.

    Did not give us any sauces we asked for and threw a handful of disgusting packets of salsa or something. Sweet tea tasted weird and there was just an I don't care attitude with our visit.
