"My honey Honey Mustard Chicken Salad was awesome! Plenty of dressing, perfect amount of chicken, super flavorful, and filling. BEST salad anywhere around! No photo to show... I scared it down too quick!"
"The taste, quality, and portion sizes of everything except the Lemon Meringue Pie Slice were perfect and some of the best breakfast food I've ever received via doordash. Perfectly packaged with care and attention. My only disappointment was the Lemon Meringue Pie Slice I received. It was a VERY tiny and broken up piece of a piece of pie. Most of the Lemon filling was missing and almost all of the crust was gone. What was there was delicious, just wish I would have gotten the entire slice I paid for. The cinnamon roll was awesome though! Overall will definitely order here again!"

"This is probably my most positive experience while ordering from DoorDash! I was so excited when I got to a friends house to see that they would deliver to Ramsey, granted Elk River is closer the way my dasher took. When I received the order, it was well organized, they deconstructed my Crispy Chicken Hardy Bowl so I could make it when I wanted. The Taco flatbread was portioned perfectly in 2 containers and my soup was separate from everything. I always order enough for a few meals and they made that so easy! Please open your driver range to Elk River around Jackson Ave! Amazing! My driver Alexis was just as great! Most drivers get lost coming here but she followed the directions and got here way withinthe timeframe that was allotted!"
"I ordered the ribs for the second time in two years and they were awful. the meat was dry and tough. I had to use a large knife to separate them and the were still too tough to eat. the cost almost $50 on Door Dash. I called to talk with someone. Left a vmm and no return call."

"I would really have enjoyed my $18 meal if I would have gotten a full cup of soup. I love Zupas. However this location was a bit disappointing. My food was goid yet I got 1/2 c of soup. The chicken in my salad (maybe 1 oz) was TINY pieces. I paid for black olives as an add on. I think I got one olive. The flavor was good, just not what I get from other stores."

"I gotta say this was the worst they've done. my burger was completely burnt. my fries were cooked so long they broke apart in my mouth like brittle. the cheese curds 90% of the cheese had oozed out(meaning overcooked) only thing done well was the fish sandwich, but even that they pulled to early so the breading didn't get crispy like it should. how do you overcook everything besides 1 item and uncook that one? seriously never ordering from this dq again is there any way to have doordash assigned to the other dq? I got another one that's only .1 miles more away than this one and they never disappoint."
