- BHBrian HeidemanNov 16, 20251.0I cannot make sense of this store. Numerous times I’ve driven up during what is supposed to be business hours only to either find an empty store with the lights on and door locked or I sit in the drive thru thinking they’re open and I finally see someone try the door and it’s locked. Every single time, the sign on the door and Google says they’re open. Clearly poorly managed and I hope corporate realizes what this store is doing to their reputation as a whole.
- GCGucci CatsNov 3, 20252.0Probably the weakest place I’ve been to. Management DOES NOT open on time. There have been several occasions where I’ve had to leave because the store was closed when they’re supposed to be open. Clearly a management problem, they should be fired, retrained, or replaced. But food is still good quality WHEN THEY ARE OPEN and the service is great from the team members. Do not come here in the morning if you’re expecting breakfast

- EFEric FritschOct 26, 20255.0The smoothies themselves were solid. Wish there were more choices in size. My wife who is gluten and dairy free was able to eat here so it was nice to all be able to eat together at one place
- AAAdriB AyalaOct 16, 20251.0First time ordering from this place is was missing an item I ordered and PAYED for. I placed a 2nd order again a week later and once i placed my order I called right after to let them know last time they forgot an item if they can make sure it dnt happen again the girl said yes Im making your order now... well to my surprise once I got my order delivered to my place they had given me chips instead of my 2 salads I asked for and I can tell you that was done on purpose just because I called to make sure my order was right. And I do understand how that can come off and sound so I made sure I was very polite when I called and the worker just seemed so annoyed but if im paying for something I expected to receive it and once again I didn't. So NEVER AGAIN they lost a customer.. I went on TikTok and found out how to make everything from here at home now I dnt have to worry about missing items.
