    This place is terrible and the workers are terrible. They gave me meat when I asked for potatoes instead and I can’t eat meat and then they were rude about it too. They wouldn’t give me a replacement and they wouldn’t refund me either. Horrible workers terrible people

    You must order ahead with the app at this location. Management understaffs the kitchen and wait times exceed 20 minutes at totally predictable rush times. Otherwise, restaurant is basically clean and civilized and food quality is pretty decent.

    Came in at 3:30 pm and it was very busy. While we were waiting for our food I noticed a crew member just standing on her phone and briefly talking to customers when they asked for the bathroom code but nothing else. There were 3 or 4 lady's who were working their butts off trying to get through the rush with multiple people getting upset and fussing at them. Eventually I had to use the restroom and found the toilet in the lady's completely covered in pee and no toilet paper to even be able to wipe away the pee, so naturally I went to ask for it to be cleaned since they also have a sign saying to let them know of such things. The person I ask went an told someone else because I think she was about to get off work. The man she asked was huffing and puffing about having to clean the restroom to which I said I would clean it myself if they just give me a rag and the cleaner I would do it since I've worked in the food industry I understand sometimes the restrooms are the absolute last thing on your mind in a rush. The man told me to use the men's and after I asked for the code to the men's he then very aggressivly asked me what was wrong with the lady's restroom, I told him about the pee on the seat and he didn't believe me. He didn't even know the code to the lady's room. After I used the men's I went to the same person I asked about the restroom and asked for the manager and it turned out he was the manager. I went on a rant to her, which I honestly feel bad about since there was nothing she could do, but I found out their district manager was watching the cameras because of an incident that happened earlier in the day. If the district manager was truly watching the cameras then I have a few questions. Why did you not come and help those hard working lady's? Why didn't you call and inforce the no phones policy I know y'all have? Why is the music so damn loud that no one can hear anything? How can you sit behind a computer and watch them struggle and not do a thing to help? You could of turned off the delivery orders to give them a bit of a break? You need to have a team meeting with this crew and encourage them to work together and if you decide to keep that girl that was standing around on her phone causing a rush you have horrible judgement.
