Hourly on the way home rush. Everything dry and old. Think at peak time all would be fresh. No "steak burger" which was old chopped up. No steak there. Onion rings and all stale and old. Commercials disleading. Total disappointment. Plus called store and NO one would answer the phone. Not a way to run a business.
