    I drove about 20 minutes to get to this place. According to their posted hours, they close at 10:00 PM, but I arrived at 9:29 PM and was told they were already closed. If they actually close at 9:30, that should be clearly stated instead of advertising a 10:00 PM closing time. After driving 20 minutes, this was very frustrating. On top of that, the door was open, which gives the impression that the business is still operating. I walked in, only to be told inside that they were closed. This is confusing and disappointing. It would be helpful if the business either updated their posted hours or honored the hours they advertise, out of respect for customers. 01/05/26

    Workers will never greet you and while waiting I had 3 people obviously look at me, and finish what they're doing before they even ask why you're there. They just finish their tasks first instead of talking and working like every other restaurant I deliver for does.

    I kept coming back here because my location at home is so good, but I continuously get disappointed. Today was the last straw. My smoothie was not blended well at all. Every time I would step through the Strah, it would get stuck. all of the other times I've gotten food here, there has been two small pieces of chicken on items with chicken or what looks to be half a scrambled egg for items with eggs. This location absolutely sucks. They do not give you what you pay for and the quality of everything is really shitty. i shoulda taken photos of the food. never going back.

    I placed a curbside order at 9am this morning, after checking the hours it looked like they opened at 7am. I arrived at this location at 9:10am and waited, just to watch an employee or manager come and finally open the door at 9:30. They walked in and locked the door back. A family walked by and tried to go in as well and the door was still locked. I had to eventually leave because I don’t know about you but I don’t have time to sit and wait an hour for food. If you don’t open at 7am then make sure your websites have accurate hours. Never got the food, and still out of my money with no way of canceling the order. And nobody will answer the phone.
