    Got here and they gave us the wrong drink, then tell us they don’t have it so they must have just gotten creative I guess. Have my s/o check the food and her bacon double cheese burger had literally 1/2 slice of bacon….. just one 1/2. Ridiculous.

    I hate leaving bad reviews but after spending over $70 on food, I expect there to be a quality check or before sending the order out. We called ourselves checking but didn't notice the 2 missing orders of fries until we got home. Very disheartening after spending 12 hours on the road

    Ordered a plain and dry cheese burger. No cheese came on it When we came back the lady was rude and her solution was to bring out cold slices of cheese?!

    This is the second time I come to this location and I see the same older woman coughing and sneezing all over the place, she’s luckily not handling my food the first time she was at what looks like a desk the whole time and the second time she came outside to talk on her phone, but I think it’s pretty gross that she doesn’t cover her coughs/sneezes. She has a really raspy manly voice so idk if she’s also sick or if she’s just like that. Other than that the service is impeccable here and the food is delicious, I just really think management needs to do something about this lady unless she gets people sick.
