"the smokehouse cheeseburger was fantastic and very filling. only downside was the tomato made the bottom bun very soggy. fries were really good too which is somewhat rare to have in delivered food"
"I got the Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Sundae and it was NOT AT ALL how it was advertised. The ice cream was completely melted (and there was maybe a quarter of a scoop to begin with) to the point of just being a liquid puddle, no sauce drizzle, just a piece of cheesecake. It was very disappointing. The little dollop of white you see is whipped cream"

"The Mac and cheese, green beans, and mashed potatoes were good.

"I am going to be 100% honest about this Medium Bruschetta Pizza, I opened the box and it looked and smelled amazing, as for taste, it is amazing. The crust was done perfectly, cheese to bruschetta ratio was perfect and the vinaigrette was delicious! I will be ordering this pizza again in the near future 5 stars from me and I will suggest this restaurant to friends and family!!!! "
"The pepperoni pizza and Stromboli were excellent. The cheese had a ton of flavor, it wasn't greasy, and the crust was chewy without being difficult. They managed to make a pizza that checks all of the boxes. If you like more crisp, an extra minute in the oven could be requeshed. If they can stay consistently this good, it was an 8.9 out of 10 tonight."

"Bacon and Swiss Flame-Grilled Chicken Sandwich was not worth it. My sandwich had a dry piece of grilled chicken that was cut in half... only half of it came on the sandwich, like someone else's sandwich got the other half. There was more bun than chicken, so it wasn't the best... Wouldn't order again."

"The burgers were exceptional! Although it wasn't crinkle cut fries"
"Alright, so this was my first time ordering. I will say the good first. My burger was very good, lots of flavor and the sautéed onions were a nice flavor to match. I wish I ordered double pattie. Perhaps specify the patty size and give options for double and trips on all burgers. Options to mix it it up are free and make customers happier. The Nashville Hot Chicken Tender Sandwich was also legit. Good flavors great tenderness. I like the buns with both aswell. Let's now discuss the negative first off. I ordered a sprite. Shows a 20oz bottle I received a 16oz cup filled with ice which amounted to about 6oz of actual soda. Not cool and not amusing. Either serve a nice size cup or sell the bottle in the pic advertised. Finally, I saved the most disappointment to the end. I order the seasoned Signature Fries. They came in a hamburgurlar box and barely filled the lower half. crinkle cut fries are thick and nice. The flavor was good. but definitely didn't get the Signature Fries pretty sure I got plain tater sticks. Barely any for that matter and them starch heart stoppers should been in a sack or some sort of frie style box like the other guys use since the discovery of the France 🇫🇷 Signature Fries . They're over 4 dollars honestly not cool. For the price of all the food being stingy on fries is rude. I still order again. but I won't order fries and certainly will order whatever offers additional patties. That's all, thank you for taking me 💰 and feeding me solid sand 🧙‍♀️ witches. Up your fries game and don't forget none of us get outta here alive. Hug and kisses"
