    Every time I come here it takes forever to get my food. I have only a scheduled amount of time and it literally takes my entire lunch.

    Had 3 dr peppers, they were all extremely light on the syrup, told the car hop, he went in, and came right back out and tried to tell us it was full. If it was full you need to call in maintenence because it is not dispensing properly.

    *CHECK BAG BEFORE YOU LEAVE* Experience was below average. First turn off was after I check in from making my online order, a worker came and told me they just finished their last bag of onion rings. So I settled for tots. 2nd turn off was the car hop came out with my FIVE drink and no drink carrier even though I clicked for one AND some condiments on the app. I had to ask him to go get one cause how am I suppose to hold all that?? THIRD turn off, I checked my bags and realized I had NO buffalo sauce (I selected it for my chicken bites) NO ketchup , mustard, ranch dressing. No nothing even though I maxed out the condiments option on the app 🥴 FOURTH and last straw that made me write this review…I went inside and asked for all my condiments and asked TWICE for buffalo and on my second ask he said yeah I got that….I get home it’s freaking BBQ sauce🤡 Just make sure you ALWAYS check the bag at this one.2
