They ran out of a primary protein option one hour into their 3 hour service and subbed with no contact. I would have preferred a refund. Otherwise it was good.

The pizza and the wings were amazing as always. Wait time to receive the food was at or over an hour from placing the order on the BFT app. This has to improve to sustain repeat customers.
