- KBKenneth BischoffJul 5, 20265.0Grabbed to cheese coneys for quick lunch.
- JLJeff LillieJul 3, 20263.0I bought the King county for the first time and couldn't wait to eat it because I like the steamy buns but I was disappointed to see them stick it in the microwave no cheese melt just a cooled down bun
- DTDarin TaylorJun 29, 20261.0June 29th 2026 8:55pm. Got denied dine in before closing time take out only and was pretty upset. Had my 8 year old with me as well. None of the young girls wanted to serve. Everyone asked each other if they wanted a table and they all said no so they denied our dine in experience. Didn’t understand why!? They would have to make the plate either way for take out or dine in. Doesn’t matter if it’s before closing time or not. As an experienced restaurant worker I don’t believe that’s the best way to go about those kind of things. Thank but no thanks. If I could give zero stars I would. Very lazy service. If I knew the employees names I would write them. Again June 29th 2026 8:55pm
- JCJared CombsJun 22, 20265.0Everything was amazing. The food, service and vibe were on point.
- KCK ceyMay 23, 20261.0Where's the chilli?!! Absolute worst & biggest rip-off of a gold star. Choose a different location
