★★★★★ 5.0 John K · Dec 2025

This might be the first 5 I have ever given for a fast food restaurant. I wanted max protein and healthy as possible so I ordered the Classic Grilled Chicken Sandwich with cheddar cheese and I added tomato and I got the ranch dressing on the side. We used the kiosk to place our order which was easy and intuitive. The only change I would make to the kiosk ordering app is to be able to have the sauce that you want on the side. I had to order without any sauce then I asked for the ranch dressing when I picked up my order. 1. My sandwich had a decent size piece of chicken. 2. The chicken was tender with every bite. 3. Tasty combination of chicken, cheddar cheese, and a butter toasted potato bun. I was thoroughly enjoyed the entire sandwich. They have small cups for water which was perfect for

Excellent food and service. The kiosk ordering went very smooth and was easy to navigate. Will definitely return next time im in the area. The Swiss and Shroom burger was delicious and I couldn't finish it. The strawberry shake was probably the best idea ever had.

Great location. Staff very friendly. Burger was very good. The original with one patty was very good. Fries just average. One thing, the tables were dirty, did not see anyone wiping down or clearing up crumbs. A little gross.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Murat Yesil · Jan 2026

it is a gamble every time I order. i love their food but only 1/4 of the time! it is became hit or miss place. i am a local so i give them a chance. and so tired of getting disappointed. and they have not done anything to change it. Food is super inconsistent. not only mac and cheese but even their cheese&streak sandwich. sometimes too dry sometimes wet sandwich from sauces. I’d attribute this to inattentive management in the kitchen.
