“Food always good but service could be a bit better specially for orders to be picked up. There's has been occasions were food is ordered to be picked up at a certain time and when you get there is when they start making the food having to wait the same has the other people arriving and ordering the food. Staff sometimes avoid eye contact. Just my opinion but food still good.”
