“Had to change my review! Ordered through Uber. Got a fish dinner with coleslaw, onion rings, honey mustard and a Swen white sauce. They didn't send me the coleslaw or Swen sauce. At least they were cool about it when I called for a refund and were apologetic about it. Almost a week later and haven't received my refund! Called this number below(reply), was sent to voicemail. Be aware, they'll keep your money!”
“Travis the manager is so disrespectful. . Has zero business skills. Ordered a simple order. Plain double only pickles. And can’t make this up. Go somewhere else until this guy is gone.”
“If you like fast food but not the usual burger try them out! The food is great and is more geared towards traditional old fashioned style diners. The price is fair and the car hops are always extremely polite and chipper! My family goes here often for a quick lunch or last minute dinner and we will continue to come back over and over.”
