I hadn’t eaten all day and was starving. My foster daughter and I called in but were told we needed to come in to place an order. So we did and the customer service and food were great.

I was skeptical about ordering from here, but I enjoyed my cheesesteak and fries. They kind of struggled getting my order together, but the food came out alright. I'd order from them again.
