Gold Coffee Spiked Shake had no coffee flavor and tasted pretty gross. Paid extra for the fry/onion ring combo and only got three onion rings. R-66 Burger was salty, lacking flavor, and arrived cold. Only decent item was the mashed Lumpy Mash Potatoes w/ Gravy.

The Side Hashbrown was too oily/greasy/wet. The Kids Cup Chicken Soup was great, but it leaked through its own paper bag and the main paper bag. It needs be wrapped in a plastic bag (or maybe saran wrap) which then goes into a small paper bag for stability. Everything else was great.
