- TWtina williamsonApr 19, 20262.0The order was simple a total of 4 items none special order and they left an entire 3 way out of the bag. They were not busy at all. When i tried to call them 3 times THEY NEVER ANSWERED THE PHONE. My husband would now have had dinner if one of us hadn't given him ours. He is recovering from major surgery so there was no way i was wasting time driving back up there. Pay attention is not hard.
- SASamantha AndersonApr 1, 20264.0I would have given a 5 star but I ordered a 4 way onion. Got it and the onions were bad had a milky liquid at the bottom. Sadly I paid for a 4 way and ended up eating a 3 way instead due to bad onions. Food safety needs to be done. Tried calling the number listed online and it hung up on me twice.
- ANAntoine NewellApr 1, 20265.0It was my first time at this location around noon and the young lady made it a pleasant experience. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the business.
- HPHayley PatrustieMar 18, 20262.0Called and called and called for them to answer over a door dash order to make a special request . No answer . At one point the call was getting forwarded to there none voicemail . I’m so irritated right now . I have a special request for a reason and you can’t even get ahold of this store . Terrible customer service. Completely unprofessional. Why even have a phone for your location and not answer it ? Seriously. Do better
- SBSnake BiteZZAug 27, 20173.0It's a quiet place staff is very nice but since the last time I was in here the portion size was halved the 5 way regular was about the size of my first normally is the size of 2 fists and no chili was really on the spaghetti like half a ladle of chili. Sorry to say skyline's portions are better. Management, Please fix this, I used to come here all the time but not after these things keep happening
