- GTGlenn TorresDec 1, 20255.012/01/2025 at approximately 1830 hours I’m including the date and time so the owners can identify who was working the cash register. I presume the lady who assisted me was the manager, as the younger employee was on lunch break. I’ve been to this location many times, but today stood out. The woman at the register greeted us with a warm smile and carried herself with exceptional professionalism. I ordered food for my son, and she even laughed at a few of my jokes—something I always appreciate. During my military service, I learned the importance of connecting with the people who prepare your food. When they are kind and respectful, you know your meal is being made with care. I was truly impressed by her demeanor. She quickly applied my military discount when I asked and mentioned that the owner is also a veteran, which now makes complete sense. This young lady represents the owners’ values perfectly. Because of the service I received today, I will be coming back more often to support this veteran-owned business. A simple smile and positive attitude made a big difference. Honestly, this employee deserves a promotion—she has a bright future ahead of her. God bless.
- BSBryanna Perkins (SimplyxoBri)Oct 23, 20251.0I ordered curbside. I felt like the serving was extremely tiny. I asked if they could bring out another serving, because it wasn’t the proper serving. When she came to the car (the black girl with the braces), she didn’t even acknowledge me. She had an attitude. She brushed me off when I tried to show her what I meant. This was very rude. Seems like people don’t have any manners these days!
- KGKeely GreenJan 14, 20222.0very sketchy area I saw guys doing drugs in the parking lot and a home less lady asked me for money to “stay at a hotel ” I do not recommend. The smoothies overall were good and good service
