Finally a chain that gets it

Ordered the family bundle on a Sunday brunch for $38 and we had leftovers for two days, honestly shocked. Been going weekly since june and they have not messed up a single order, which is wild. the broth tasted like someone's grandma made it, not a factory, which i did not expect.

Sunday dinner sorted

Crust was crispy on the bottom and the cheese pull was dumb long, perfect pie. Place is clean, bathrooms don't smell, music isn't blasting, food is solid. that's all I want.

Legit obsessed

Got the limited time burger before it left and i'm going to be sad about it for months. App gave me a free side for signing up and the mac was way better then it had any right to be. ordered thru the app, used a $5 off code, picked up in 8 min, chef's kiss honestly.

better than my mom's (sorry)

$12 for a meal that filled me up and still had enough for lunch next day, insane value. Kitchen was slammed on friday but my order was still right and still hot, respect. Picked up curbside in like 4 minutes, bag was sealed, nothing was crushed, everything was hot.

Cold and sad

Ran out of half the menu at 7pm on a saturday, how are you a restaurant exactly. Recieved cold wings, missing dip, missing the drink I paid extra for, nobody picks up when I call.

Beats the fancy place

nothing fancy here just a really good sandwich at a fair price and that's enough for me. they fixed a missing drink in literally 2 minutes with no attitude, i'll be back.

Portion was huge

Dropped $18/head for four people and we all walked out full, try that at a sit down place now. my picky 6 year old ate the whole thing without complaining which basically never happens.

Place is clean, bathrooms don't smell, music isn't blasting, food is solid. that's all I want. Dropped $18/head for four people and we all walked out full, try that at a sit down place now. The staff remembered my usual after like three visits, kind of made my whole week ngl.

crispy perfection

the new breakfast wrap at 7am saved me on monday after a brutal weekend. 10/10. I was skeptical of the new menu but the spicy chicken thing is actually a top 3 fast food item for me.

Cold and sad

Called to complain and the manager (Noor) literally sighed at me on the phone, read the room ma'am. I asked for no onions three times and the burger came with so many onions I thought it was a prank. $32 delivery for two combos that were cold by the time I got home despite living four minutes away.

Stale as hell

Paid $34 for a bowl that was 80% rice and like three cubes of chicken, make it make sense. Waited 52 minutes for a lukewarm burger that tasted like the microwave resurrected it on a Friday rush. Recieved cold wings, missing dip, missing the drink I paid extra for, nobody picks up when I call.

Yuck

the spicy sauce was ketchup with pepper flakes, I'm not kidding, actual grocery store ketchup. The chicken sandwich was definately pink in the middle and I was on the toilet for 6 hours straight. I asked for no onions three times and the burger came with so many onions I thought it was a prank.
