"The large coffee is so much bigger than expected for such a great price, the cinnamon vanilla is yummy! The bacon avocado melt is so tasty the cream cheese really stands. The half dozen wasn't much variety which is understandable during the holidays but the reason I even came onto DoorDash is because my Uber eats didn't allow me to even add what type of donuts I wanted, very pleased that DoorDash allowed me to atleast add in notes which type I would like if available(: 10/10 Happy Thanksgiving <3 "

"Pleasantly surprised - great late night option! The portions are generous - I actually had leftovers for the next morning. Also the cheesecake had real strawberries on top - and had a really nice texture! Would definitely try again!"
"Disappointed by the shake and kids burger. The whipped cream was just a tiny little puddle on top. Seems silly to have the domed lid for a milk shake - with nothing to fill that space. The kids burger is totally dry with no Mayo or sauce - so I had to add some flavor w my ingredients at home. Not the worst - it's edible - but definitely overpriced for what I got. :'("

"Food tasted great. But, as with most delivered food, the meal showed up a little soggy from sweating in the plastic containers. The two chicken tender sliders were cooked well, not dry, and the seasoning was pretty good. Hot was HOT. Medium was a great middle ground 👌🏻 Not sure how anyone could eat the two other spice levels above HOT. 🥵 Extra Fries weren't anything special tbh. Reminded me of seasoned Applebee's fries or similar. The Angry Mac was really good. The Mac is creamy and the chicken still stands out. Didn't taste the chickz sauce through the other flavors tho. Overall, great experience and will order again. Only minor ding was I didn't get the Angry Chickz Sauce – Large Dipping Cup 8oz with my order. Was looking forward to finally trying it. But DoorDash was quick with the small credit. Highly recommend 🙌🏻"
