Food is great, drinks are generous, and the fried ice cream is just the ticket after a mission burrito. Will definitely be back. Give Jake a raise!“

“Service is so great. The man who took our order was extremely welcoming. Food all tasted well. The ambience, especially in afternoons, is wonderful, it’s a bright airy space with lots of natural sunlight. Broad selection of alcoholic drinks including spiked hot chocolate/eggnog for this time of the year. Would probably be a good place to catch up with friends because it’s fast-casual, cozy, lots of table space, and there’s no rush to turn tables“

“I loved going here for lunch! You order through a kiosk, which I think makes it a little hard to order the food you like. The great food makes up for this, though! I also like how you can get extras of something, like cheese or sour cream. The sauces are good, too, and they also add some extra flavor. I would definitely 10/10 come here again.“

“I wanna start by saying the food and employees haven't been an issue once for me but the app is another story. Every time I try to click contact us on the app or the web It allows me to fill everything out but won't let me.submut it. So now it's being left as a review for everyone to see instead of just the company. I will be deleting the app once I have my money refunded to my account AGAIN. I've ordered / tried to order food on your app I wanna say at least 12-13 times this month, out of those 12-13 times I got charged for my order but the app says error and doesn't send over the order at least 8 or 9 times. But the worse part is not only do I get charged for the food and have to wait for a refund I then can't even get the food I was trying to order / the price because it's online exclusive items / pricing. I have to buy my food again and end up losing my rewards points on top of paying more for the food. Just complete garbage of an app.But like I said I'll be deleting it after I get my money refunded again and just stick to the other fast food chains that I haven't had an issue with.“
