3 months ago I came and left a review, it wouldn’t let me edit or make a new review so here we go again on a different account. I got a 3 piece tender meal, again they didn’t give me sauce… I asked for tots and they gave me a mixture of tots and fries and no straw. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I actually tipped this time so I thought maybe I would get a sauce for my tenders but nope. They’re keeping their inventory of sauces and tips they don’t deserve 🙃

Told us that we had to wait 12 min on an hotdog to cook. Ordered a plain hotdog and got a cold hot dog after waiting 12 min for it to cook with everything on it. When I went to scrape everything off of it the bottom of the bun was hard as a rock and the hot dog was cut into all different sizes pieces so I couldn't. We also ordered a med and mini chocolate brownie blast and got a vanilla blast with chocolate shavings on top no brownie at all.

I ordered the groovy french fries, and that was the nastiest fries I've ever had. They were so greasy like they were soaked in Grease. I won't be eating there food anymore.

Food was good, but no matter what you can yell as loud as you can and these people never here you and then your order ends up some how messed up up and they always have to come out smh

The staff was very friendly, which I appreciated, but communication seemed to be a real challenge. I was asked to repeat my order five times in the drive-thru understandable if it was noisy, so I didn’t mind too much. But when I got to the window, the order was still wrong. After waiting nearly 20 minutes for them to fix it, I finally received my food… and it was still incorrect—complete with onions and tater tots I didn’t ask for. I also ordered a slushie, which unfortunately tasted like it was mixed in a bathtub. Friendly service, but the experience definitely needs improvement.
