“We have always loved Chick-fil-A. My daughter is working there now and management, and everyone are wonderful. Sadly, I’ve heard a few stories of incredibly rude and disrespectful customers, which happens everywhere, and it’s so discouraging to hear the rudeness and disrespect from horrible customers. So I wanted to say thank you and I think you all are wonderful managers, owners, and always been delicious, clean, safe with food, etc. 🐔❤️”

The root beer is amazing, a cheese zip (or two) with everything, and an order of fries is a fantastic summer treat. I love it here and will continue to enjoy them for as long as I can. Thank you mugs up for staying consistent throughout the years.”

Our order was brought out very quickly and everything was perfect. Monica had suggested we get the frisco melt with extra toasted bread and that was a great suggestion! I got the single cheeseburger with onion rings. The burger was tasty and the onion rings were perfectly crispy and not overly greasy. If you're looking for a good bite for lunch or dinner, then this steak n shake is a great option!”

“I recently visited Arby’s and had a very pleasant experience while placing my order inside the restaurant. The staff member who assisted me was exceptionally patient, kind, and attentive. He carefully listened to my order and, at the end, repeated everything back clearly and professionally to ensure accuracy. Our sandwiches were expertly prepared and came out perfect. Although some of the exterior signage lights appear to be out, going inside instead of using the drive-thru turned out to be a far better experience. I truly appreciated the professionalism and quality of service during my visit, and I look forward to returning again in the future.”

I went in there tonight. no food in the warmer. the kids that work there are sitting on the floor up against the wall doing absolutely nothing. Do they only serve Pizza at lunch and zero food for dinner? there's nothing anywhere that says what times they have food what time? they don't have food so tonight I went from hangar 54 right over to Valley wide and got me a personal pizza and now I'm headed to work.”

“Columbia, Missouri- Kids wanted Popeyes, so we went through the drive-thru on Hyde Park (Grindstone/Nifong). They usually have great service and generous portions. Look at the size of the chicken tenders next to a biscuit Looks more like nuggets. And half of what we got was spicy, not the mild that had been ordered And only 12 french fries with the order. And no biscuit with the 3 piece order that only had 2 pieces. Chad, the general manager, will be there at 7 in the morning. I for sure will be calling him to suggest ways to improve his business operation.”

“C'mon, if you don't stan Taco Bell, you're doing it wrong. Unless, of course, you can't eat it. But for the rest of you? Try veg mode. It changed our lives. Vegetarian options: They have a bunch. And most things can be MADE vegetarian. Vegan not so much. Kid-friendliness: It's a fast food joint. Nuff said. Wheelchair accessibility: Doors are generally wide, and tables typically high enough, and chairs can be moved. At our home KC one, they have tables marked.”
