Customer Reviews

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Ryan Reynolds · Jun 2024

Just really gross. Simple order of drink and fries and it was not good. We were greeted with a message that co2 machine was down so no sodas. That was fine, I got a lemonade and it was fine. We waited nearly 10 minutes for 2 large fries. My wife and I both ordered a large fry. No hyperbole here, they were the worst fries I have ever had. Small, overcooked, so much oil, burnt black bits, very little potato. I ate them all because I was super hungry and needed something fast before my son's baseball game. Those fries made me feel like garbage during the whole game. My wife had a similar experience. I finally felt better when we got some real food after the game. These fries were embarrassing. Not surprised by the reviews I read. Should have read them earlier. Avoid this restaurant, no good.

Hit or miss like always. Who ever manages this store tells employees not to give out drink carrier's so they save 10 cents each time they hand multiple drinks out. Worst part about it we pay for the drink carrier's

When I went in a girl with black hair was so sweet and so kind and when I asked for extra sauce, she gave it to me without complaining I’ve went in and there were some workers that would complain about it, but she was so kind and so sweet one of the best workers I’ve seen in fast food

We thought the restaurant was closed early. At 8pm all the exterior lights were off. When we realized they were open (barely) and ordered, the food was incorrect, and not good at all. We won’t be back to this location.

Ordering here was a disaster food could be better and "everything was broken"
