I absolutely hate it when a take out order is missing food that you've already paid for! Had several orders for 3 kids and 2 adults. Got home and was missing the yogurt parfait side that came with sandwich. I got the granola that you put on top but no yogurt & berries! Usually you don't have to double check your order at this chain but it looks like they are no better than McDonald's! I was not driving 20 minutes to go back to get what I should have had in our order to begin with! Looks like I'll have to start double checking in the future because we can't trust that you packed up our orders correctly anymore!!

This location desperately needs a mobile only lane in the drive thru. Waited well over 20 minutes in the drive thru.

No play place here. We were traveling back home to KC and stopped here on the way to get out and stretch our legs but the kids were disappointed there was no where for them to run around.
