Hit the at 11:39 on a Saturday, greeted with “welcome to Krystal’s, we are closed” I ask what time do you close. The response was we are closed because we are short handed. All lights on, drive thru lights bright. The reason places cannot stay in business is because of “employees” such as this. Go figure.

I ask the lady in the drive through window what comes in the junkyard fries. She replies what about it. We repeat what comes in the junkyard fries. She tells us but had an attitude. Mood was dry. Think we interrupted her smoke break. The pickles were nasty as well. I hooe the lady has a better day tomorrow.

We had 4 teens to feed. They had never been to Krystal's so we decided to try it. We ordered them each a 6pc nugget meal. We didnt know when they gave it to us that the nuggets were combined into 2 containers. All we knew was that we were missing 2. They were a little agitated with us at first, and of course we had to pull up and wait. The cook/adult man working was so nice though. He helped make sure we got all of our food and sent us on our way with a smile. I really appreciated his effort and wish I got his name. He turned a negative experience into a positive one. We need more people like him in the world today.

This place has gone downhill and quick! Who greets a customer in the drive thru by saying “aye, order now, what you trying to get “??? And then continues to be rude meanwhile 3 employees stand right beside the drive thru speaker passing a blunt around right in front of customers ? This is wild, and I will NOT be returning to this restaurant ever again.

The original late night place to grab something to eat at. Not many of these around anymore and well some of the locations that are still around may not actually be open late nowadays. But I still support the lil square bunned burger even when the cost has went from .35 cents each and a combo coming in at around $3.50 from back in the day to now days ur doing good if get a combo for under $10 and if want cheese then another $1 per slice.. But they still hit that spot at times and they always have had the best Cokes and still do of any food place there is..
