Went through the drive thru just for hush puppies I haven’t had for over 35 years! When you ask for one, they MEAN one! Got 2 and it was .96! Still very delicious, just like I remembered.

I have literally nothing to say but THANK YOU. I showed up later than I had hoped, (in the last hour I'm not a monster) and you all crushed it. All of you apologized for the wait - but it was 100% perfect. made my night 10 times better - thank you

Tried to order with my app. But for some reason it wasn't working. So I went inside and they helped me by placing my order inside and they used my app discount. They where very helpful. Food was hot and I received everything I ordered.
