- ASAmaryta ShearsSep 27, 20253.0Came in from Port Isabel for breakfast 9/27/25. When it was my turn to order I gave a “Hey, good morning” to the cashier who stared blankly back at me. Could tell by her demeanor that would have rather been anywhere else but taking my order. I get it, not everyone is a morning person but maybe reach deep and muster a “Hello” when interacting with customers. When our order was ready she bagged it and put it on the counter, didn’t say a word. Ordered no cheese and of course it had cheese. Location was clean with plenty of seating available inside and on the patio.
- MKMartin KroschinskyAug 13, 20254.0Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and tasty. Server forget one item we ordered but manager on duty corrected issue and give discount for mistake. I would recommend this place.
- S1sky_shadow 117Aug 1, 20252.0I stood at the register for 5 min no one acknowledged me, they were kind of busy so I guess. I decided to order online and save them the trouble, only to see them attend the person who walked in right after I sat down to order online. Sat there for 25 min before walking up to the register to ask about my order, only to get a visibility long sigh from one of the employees before politely asking if I need anything. I asked about my order and he pulled it out of the freezer where it was being kept cold. Overall felt like my family and I weren't wanted there. They weren't rude but totally ignored me. Drinks were good, could have been mixed a little better but were what I ordered at least. I recommend online ordering, and drive through. 08/01/25 @ 2:45pm
- MHMelany HernandezJun 24, 20254.0I’ve never dined in, only through drive through but honestly everytime it’s always been good service. I like that sometimes I can use coupons. The smoothies are good just that it’s kinda overpriced.
