The girl who handed me my food chased me down in the parking lot for the container of Mac n cheese: much appreciated! Headed back to the house on a short ride to enjoy our meal.......

That was for an order of a tea, salad, 5 wings and fries. The girl behind the counter had a good 30 minutes to prep the dressings and things.

But in the time I stood and watched their staff walk around and take that long to prep a salad I could go to the grocery store that I drove by to get there and buy my own salad fixings and do it cheaper.

When I asked for more, she flatly said "yes" without explaining, and only after I insisted that I was willing to pay for extras did she finally add them.

On a positive note, the older lady working at the register was very kind and professional--she had a great attitude and treated me with respect. Honestly, that's how customer service should be.

Around 4:08, an employee saw me waiting but returned behind the counter without checking on my order. By 4:15, nothing had appeared on the shelf, so I went to the register. Nobody was there, and I waited another five minutes before someone finally helped me. My completed order had been sitting behind the register the entire time, where I could see it but could not access it. The employee claimed it had been there for "only five minutes," although the whipped cream on the shakes had already melted and collapsed. The order was also prepared incorrectly. Both children's burgers were missing the tomatoes I selected, no straws or napkins were provided, and my burger was carelessly assembled on a torn, incomplete piece of bun. The restaurant was completely empty, so this was not caused by a rush. I arrived early and waited in the correct place while my food sat behind the counter and deteriorated. Extremely careless service from preparation to pickup.

Crispy just how I like them. The cashier wasn't very friendly, but maybe they were just having a bad day. Still, if I tell you it's my first time there, I'd think that's an opportunity to explain the menu or how the burgers work. Instead, I just ended up saying, "Give me a bacon cheeseburger." Now, the young woman who brought out my food had great customer service, so again, maybe the cashier was just off that day. As for the burger itself, it was way too salty for my taste. They do have some pretty good juices that I think are made in-house, which was a plus. But overall, the prices didn't feel worth it to me. I honestly could've gone to Chili's, gotten a better burger and an appetizer, and still spent about $8 less. I probably won't be back unless someone convinces me I just caught them on a bad day.

Jersey Mike's Subs

The location is fine, but the customer service and cleanliness were disappointing…read more When I visited, the restaurant there was someone waiting for their order to go. One employee began taking my order and started preparing my sandwiches, but halfway through stopped to take a new customer's order. Instead of finishing with the customer already being served, my order was left unfinished while another order was started. The employee then spent time discussing work-related complaints with a coworker before returning to continue preparing my sandwiches. The sandwich preparation area was also noticeably dirty, with food debris and an overall lack of cleanliness around the station. In a restaurant where food is prepared directly in front of customers, this is something that should be addressed immediately. As a customer, it was frustrating to stand there waiting while my order was repeatedly interrupted. I understand that businesses can be short-staffed, but customers should be served in the order they arrive and food preparation areas should be kept clean and organized. What was most disappointing was the response when I asked to just checkout instead of continuing to wait questioning the process. Rather than addressing the concern, I was told, "Don't come in here telling me how to do my job, it's just me, I'm trying to be productive." Everyone has difficult days, but professionalism, customer service, and cleanliness matter. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling unwelcome and unlikely to return to this location.

I've ordered from this location multiple times and my order is always ready when I arrive. My only issue is, the parking situation in this parking lot. There simply aren't enough parking spots to accommodate all the businesses in this complex and it becomes obvious when driving around in circles. It gets really annoying when you just need to run in and grab your online order, and have to park all the way across the parking lot. I wish they had designated spots for to-go customers. Otherwise, great location!
