I order from this location at least once a week. The Buona Beef sandwich is amazing. The Cheese Fries are always really fresh and crispy. Wish they still had mild Giardiniera.

I was charged over $5 for cheese fries and they didn't put cheese in the sealed bag for doordash. Beef was a joke. ½ the amount of beef they normally include. Will not be doing business here again

I always get what I order. It's hot when I get it home. Everytime I have enough money this is my top 5 of all restaurants in the area. And yet again it was perfect. Thank you.. great job!!

Buona can't even come close to others in beef. The fries are horrible and their attempt to copy the Chocolate Cake Shake is laughable especially when they don't provide a straw
