The way orders are made and called out. I was standing at the truck waiting on my order. I got a text that my order was ready. I waited for 10 min, No one called my name. All the while they were passing out other orders. Stepped to the window to ask about my order, got a little bit of attitude from the guy it took him 10 seconds to walk over and get my order. It was obviously waiting for that 10 min.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The taste is amazing, but the price of the sauce, just to get a small sauce cup that’s not even half way filled does suck. Other than that the food is delicious.

Good was delicious. Docked one point because food was not ready when I received the text (waited an extra 20 minutes) and one of my items was wrong
