    Ordered on app screen showed food was on the way and then closed our screen, it took 15 minutes more to actually get our food. Also, the shakes and blasts were less then 3/4 full. Overall disappointed 😞

    Waited over 30 min for a simple cheeseburger and soda. Ordered ahead and checked into one of the mobile spots. After 30 min I want to one of the stalls and they seemed surprised I ordered anything. 2 min late my food that's been probably sitting out for 40 min now is given to me. Watered down soda and a cold cheeseburger. I threw it away there. I contacted Corp for a refund.

    every time I go to this location they don’t fail to disappoint me. I’ve waited over 30 minutes a handful of times. Simply for a drink or a few small food items. The employees here don’t care and lack respect in all areas. By the time you get your food you’ll have been thinking about everything else you could’ve ate within that time. Hope my review helps management figure it out, or another customer from going here! Lazy work ethic does NOT = JOB.
