“Yasss!!! I come here with my friends for outings and such. We always put fake names- love the fact they mispell our names so dramatically. Actually good tho lol! It's a bit overpriced so just come here for drinks when hanging with friends :)“

“I’ve noticed that there has been several times that the store has had to close early. As someone who has worked in food service, that usually means one of a few things, but usually it’s the lack of shift leads or staff. Everyone here has always been so nice and kind, but I feel bad because they always seem understaffed during peak hours. I feel like this is a situation where management is pushing a certain numbers of hours and maybe not training enough shift leads/managers. I know companies have to reach a certain amount for labor etc, but, it seems like they don’t have enough leads and don’t want to pay for correct staffing, making the customers and employees struggle. This location is super convenient and everyone is so nice, but it would be so much better for everyone if it was properly staffed.“
