The fries may occasionally show signs of an earlier batch, but the food's taste largely remains satisfying and comforting.

I went to drive thru, they were patient with me and my large order, they got everything right except this is the second time now I asked if they got the sauce in the bag and they say "yes", only to find out there is none, and they always forget napkins. Other than that everything was correct and tasted good, fries were def a little old but not terrible. Day time is a little more accurate but overall I enjoy coming here!

Everything was perfect, hot, just the way it should taste. The woman in the window was so sweet she wiped my coke off before she gave it to me. This was my first time ever going there and I will for sure be going back.

What started as a mistake turned into an excellent experience and a wonderful encounter. I went back to the store tonight after receiving unsweetened tea (yuck) instead of sweet tea (yum), and was greeted and helped by two wonderful employees. I did not catch their names, but shout out to you two!!! Keep it up!!! This location is our favorite one because you guys are always so nice!!!

Soda fountain are not self serve anymore. The tables all needed cleaned. I had to get toilet paper to clean the table we sat. Took awhile even though they was not busy. The food was really good. ..... The food was fairly good, but it seemed like it was just thrown together, and the presentation was a bit messy. We decided to eat inside instead of taking it to go. The tables could have used a cleaning, and the foundation machines were in need of attention as well. Despite there being plenty of employees standing around, they didn't seem to be doing much to address thecleanliness issues.
