Took them five times to get our order right. By the time everything was said and done I lost my appetite and returned my sandwich. How disappointing. You can tell a bunch of teenagers are running the place.

I've only eaten here 1 time. My friend ordered Chili Cheese Fries. After she took a couple of bites she noticed the fries on the bottom were hard & not edible. I complained & they said they would make a fresh order. Well that was not the case they left the hard fries on the bottom and again only replaced the ones on the top of the order. Did they honestly think that we were not going to know that they didn't make us a fresh order? I may or may not be returning...

This place has been here for over two decades.
There is only a few places that sell the green river and this is one. Grab a quick bite to eat and be on your way.

I think cheese made us sick tonight. 7/6/24. The cheese was the common denominator to our respective meals and we both experienced stomach upset.

Wrong hotdog foe what they are serving chili is sweet and ok but different should be savory. Fries were ok they use a cheap kind of cheese for the chili cheese dog and fry it's not the cheese wiz ur hoping for. 4 out of 10. The mini corn dogs and chicken tenders were decent. 33 dollars for 3 hotdogs corn dogs cheese fries chicken tender and 3 drinks. Not bad but not good for the product they are putting out.
