    My family and I had a deeply troubling experience at this location. We were treated in a discriminatory and unprofessional manner by management, specifically the operations manager on duty, who escalated a simple situation into our family being removed from the premises without cause. We had brought a small portion of food required for our autistic child, who has specific sensory and dietary needs. Instead of showing any understanding or offering a disability-related accommodation, the manager refused to allow it and then used it as part of the reason to force us to leave. This was not optional food — it was part of his disability needs. Under basic customer service standards and ADA guidelines, this should have been handled with compassion and flexibility, not hostility. We were treated differently than other guests around us, which made the situation feel discriminatory and targeted. The experience was humiliating, distressing, and completely unacceptable, especially for a family with a child who already struggles in loud, busy environments. Businesses that serve the public must train their staff — especially management — on disability accommodations, sensitivity, and nondiscrimination. Unfortunately, this location failed in all of these areas. I hope the corporate team takes this seriously and ensures no other family ever has to go through what we did.

    Trying to get hourly prices is worse than pulling live alligator teeth. Good luck going without reservations, and if you wanna go alone, you might as well build a lane yourself.
