"Clean parking lot. The line moved fairly fast. Service was nice with a smile behind the mask. Order was correct. I had one issue it's the large order of Onion Rings. Some were burnt and greasy at the bottom. The Hot fudge sundaes, were buy one get one free. . Nice. Hope to find another coupon soon. Drive thru is a little small so swing out a little to keep from back up prior to turning curved platform pass speaker."

"I visited this location despite the negative reviews, as it was the closest one. The wait time was a bit long, and there is room for improvement in that aspect. However, the quality of service and food made up for it. As soon as I arrived at the drive-thru, the staff explained that certain menu items take longer to prepare because everything is made fresh. When my order was ready, they were very polite and apologized for the wait. Hopefully, management will address this issue soon, which is why I am giving it 4 stars."

"Unlike some of these other reviews,I've learned to just be patient, this isnt the woodlands.In my opinion it just depends on who's working that shift because this one woman I cant remember her name and Lance be havin me set with the time frame and food right. My slushes and chicken tenders are always right . Ps. Dont get disrespectful with any of the employees here, the general manager is their mama bear! She will set you STRAIGHT (as professionally as she can of course) if you take it there."
