Customer Review Summary
Service draws the main complaints. One reviewer says the phone was answered and then they were left holding for about five minutes, so they went elsewhere. Another says nobody acknowledged them for nearly twenty minutes after arriving, leaving the food cold and very greasy, and calls the staff rude. A third waited about 45 minutes from ordering and found the food just okay, with burgers offered only plain or with cheese and no salad. Other reviewers, by contrast, describe friendly staff and a quick, not too busy visit, one stopping in during a long drive for a quick snack of cheesy chips.
