Ordering system is shocking. Ordered over an hour ago on their website, arrived at the restaurant an hour after ordering and still have to sit another 30 min for the meal and throughout that 30 min they keep saying its getting bagged - more like we didnt look at your paid order and we are making the meal while you sit and wait for it.
3rd time this has happened over a 2 year period. Wont be back. You dont even need to wait this long at a restaurant
