Great food and customer service I still wish they would separate the chicken dark and white meat so I would eat it and not have to waste it because I never can find a chicken breast

Great service but defective ice dispenser on the machine on the left and the machine on the right did not dispense. Lastly, Would like Diet Dr Pepper returned. Not a fan of Diet or Zero Pepsi today that was flat with little to no carbonation.

Very bad experience; I ordered 2 biscuits; was about halfway through my meal and still no biscuits; went to check on them and needless to say order had not been entered; then finally brought them just as I was ready to leave; went to get butter and then opened biscuits butter and they were not done; they tried to blame it on Heather but she was not the person who took my order; they offered no compensation; Heather always looks after her customers but she was leaving when I got there; worst experience ever; attitude was very bad; just said they were short of help

The young man/teenager bussing tables was very helpful, filling patrons drinks upon request when inquiring if they needed anything or were done with dishes on their tables. Good to see someone in his generation bracket not slacking off at work by being on their phone while not on a break. Kudos to him for having the correct work ethic.
