    “Work graveyard shift, every Saturday morning & Sunday morning eat lunch there. Always same order, burger, fries & small drink. The burger is always great, but the fries are different The fries are always hot, but if store is busy the fries are very crispy (Great). But if the is not busy, the fries are still hot. They are very limp & saturated with oil. On these occasions I just throw them away. Don't know why this has held true since May 2022. Frustrating”

    “Went in tonight with the wife to enjoy a late night meal… well we got the meal and a show. Guns pulled, bartender holding people back from each other trying to deescalate the situation… cops came, people getting thrown up against trucks and taken to jail… kuddos to the guy behind the bar he held his own… when you need a little snack and a show.. you know where to go.. Friday and Saturday nights are best.. reminded me of Waffle House in south Dallas… 10/10 would recommend!!”

    “Okay so we get there and order our food (drive thru) and a young man waves us to the window and proceeded to tell me and my wife that he and one other lady were the only one working and that he would be the one making the food. We told him no worries and he was very kind and apologetic for the inconvenience. We wait maybe five minutes at most and he brought our food out and was gracious enough to give us a few extra gifts in our bag. What a great human being and the guy needs a raise!!!! Thank you so much!!! He even wrote down what each burger was and how it came on our wrappers, all 4 burgers!”
