Recent Reviews
Everyone that works there is really nice and always welcoming. The new wraps they have are tiny and do not taste good. Definitely stick with what they are known for... the burgers. Chicken straps are good too.

Fries are a little bland 😬
When it's crowded/busy, food can take a long time, so make sure your plan accordingly.
Staff at this location are very considerate!

Recently tasted the red velvet shake, became a huge fan and started visiting the place only for the shake.
Highly recommendable.
