★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kyle Amelunke · May 2022

Edit: Sadly, today I have to down great my rating. We ordered ahead like we always do, so we don’t have to wait to order when we get there and for them to get the food prepared because we only have a 30 minute lunch. The food presented well and they had it out quickly and the lady again this time was very sweet! However, whenever i got back to the office and we opened everything the burgers had grease covering them and soaked into the buns ( we couldn’t get a decent picture of that), but we included pictures of the wrappers and grease the dripped out in the counter and started to harden 🥴. The bottom of the bag is covered like it was leaking out of the wrappers. 2/4 sándwiches we got we’re of good quality. The 2 double cheese burgers is what this mainly occurred on which understandable bec

I go here religiously every week and I got their new strawberry shortcake slush float and it wasn't even filled up to the top of the cup and I'm not even talking about the top of the cup where the lid is added I'm talking about just a cup itself I am very disappointed with their service lately sometimes it looks just like the picture but most of the time it's missing about a fourth to a third. If I'm buying an expensive drink I would expect better I mean it looks really good there's just hardly anything in it haha. And no I did not drive home and then look at it. I live literally 30 seconds away.

This location on the Volunteer Parkway has gone downhill over the past year when it comes to quality and taste. I was blown away that a strawberry limeade, corn dog and small onion ring cost $7.61! To beat it all the limeade had no carbonation and tasted like it had been sitting out for a few days, as did the corn dog. I'm guessing there was a total of 2-1/2 onion rings in the order bc they were burnt together and stuck to the bottom of the bag. I don't like posting negative reviews but this isn't the first time this has happened here. I won't be back to this one again. Save your money and spend it somewhere else.

Ate here for years and it was always great food, till today. Fries, tots and chicken tasted like rancid old grease. My coke was all water. Sent the coke and the hard, dry (Jumbo???) chicken back. After today, I do not think I will ever go back...Disappointed

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Bobby Carr · May 2025

I don't normally give bad reviews but today it was just awful. I've been to this one many many times and it's always good but today the food was not how I ordered it and the person taking my order was rather short with me and the person delivering the food was just flat-out rude. So if you're looking for somewhere that you don't feel like you're walking around on eggshells at this is not the place at least not today. Tuesday 5-6-25
