Cashier Steven had long nasty dirty nails. Told Manager and she just laughed. I then told her I was going ato call the Health Department and she once again laughed. He charged me for something I didn't order. Manager acted like she was bothered to have to refund me my money. Restaurant was NASTY and smelled like sewage was backing up. The tables were nasty as was the parking lot. After eating we were both violently sick for hours. This place needs to be closed. Tyrone Early the District Manager needs to know about these issues.
