“My 4 granddaughters & I and I Luv the Cobb salad 😋“

“My fave go to Burger 🍔 place!“

“I drove 220 miles to have potato cakes. The dummies in Minnesota decided to not serve potato cakes any more and replace them with crinkle fries. I've see stupid moves before but this takes the cake. Literally“

“We always order to-go but every once in a while, we like to dine-in and enjoy the pizzas right out of the hot oven. Their business is always busy but the staff is always very friendly and polite.

Today we had an order that was made incorrectly with sauce, they immediately apologized and remade the order without hesitation. I really appreciate the food and service.“

“I brought my son in today for his Birthday and they gave us a free meal and he also got a free shake! We could not thank them enough! My son loved his shake and we loved the food! (It was a first visit for both of us)!“

“Love Love Love this place! The food is awesome and always hot and yummy! Best place for sandwiches that we’ve found!“

“Got to love Arby’s.. It’s a 50/50 risk your order may be screwed up, but if they have cherry turnovers it makes the order screw up bearable“

“I ordered catering this weekend for a bridal party as they got ready for their big day. The sandwiches were delicious, but the service was even better! The staff went out of their way to make the process as easy as possible, allowed me to pick up before they opened, and they even provided 2 sets of condiments. The best part…..they did that without me asking. When I ordered the staff explained the boxes and I said two would be great, so I have one for the bride suite and one for the groom suite. They went out of their way to make sure it was perfect and it was!!“

“Went in during the lunch rush, and decided to wait for my preferred food. I was waiting for maybe 10 minutes (which is fine; it was the heat of the rush) and I got my food AND they gave me an egg roll for free to apologize for the wait. I’ve always had great service and this location is very clean. Would recommend.“

“Very filling but so good👍🏼“

“The staff was friendly and knew their business. I liked the way they were able to "up the sale". Promote that team.“

“I accidentally ordered a pizza for the wrong day, and they remade it for me at no charge. I was able to pick up my pizza today without payment ng anymore, and it was so so delicious! Thank you Papa John's for your graciousness and amazing service.Also, there's a really good deal right now for a free medium Pizza when you buy one large.“

“Four stars for most of the people in our group. 1 for me. Mine sandwich was terrible. Veggie sandwich that had one super thin slice of tomato, 3 thin slices of cucumber, and the smallest touch of lettuce. That was it. 90% bread and almost no veg.“

“It’s a fun treat for the fam, especially after a hot baseball game. Love all the ice cream options! I’ve only had a few disappointing visits but that would only make up less than 5% of my visits. The pic is from one such visit. He filled the bowl with so much ice cream there wasn’t enough room to get enough strawberry sundae topping on it 🫣“

“Oh my God I came 30 minutes before close, which I know is evil. I ordered a NY cheesecake and it was probably the best one I've ever had. Coming from someone who used to make them, Im very happy with it. The ratio was perfect. Every bite was so good. Whoever made that deserves a big smooch.“

“Beef Taco Salad was wonderful w their house salsa. Could perhaps use a bit more sour cream. Was $8.29😉
Husband loves the Taco Bravo $7 meal steal that includes the Taco Bravo, of course, w a beef softshell taco, small potato ole' but increased it to a medium for only $.60 y'all! He had to have the nacho cheese side, that was $1.59,(he loves what he loves)and ladt but not least, meal steal comes w a small drink. If you complete the survey listed at the bottom of the receipt, it's good for 20% off(up to $5) on your next order!!! Super nice! 😊 Highly recommend and always nice staff.“

“All I wanted was a sandwich, but my family and I also got support. Thanks Jimmy Johns. 🥰“

“There is an Empress working behind the counter at the Iowa State Panda. I ordered a bigger plate and she gave me so many more scoops of beef and chicken than I deserved. I know I was nice to her, but still. You couldn’t close the box properly. Thank you Panda Empress, I hope to see you again soon.“

“Been to this location many times over the years. Went here fairly recently and the service is still quite good. Works with the same efficiency as always even if the employees were a bit disgruntled to be working on the first day of the new year. The location is looking a bit older, but the food is still great for the price.“

“This location is really decent with amazing nice staff and they really give you what you ask for like extra cheese unlike other franchise places I won't name, names but they do give you your money's worth and that's what makes me keep coming back don't ever change thanks.???“

“Everything from a local standpoint was perfect. I don't like that I can't call locally to place an order, that I either get a call center or have to order online. I love the Cinnabons, which weren't an online option, so I got th4 brownies, which were amazing. I did find out that our local Pizza Hut does carry the Cinnabons and had I been able to call directly to my local Pizza Hut, I would have ordered them. My only complaint is not being able to call the local business.“

“Had not been in a Subway in quite a while. The gentleman behind the counter couldn't have been nicer. Very accommodating. Wheat bread on my Italian sub was unbelievable. Prices have definitely gone up. Fast food is no longer affordable. We were eating on the run while driving back to Kansas City, so the price wasn't that big a factor. All in all, it was a very good experience.“
