He took the tray holding the salad and continued on with his duties. Aside from yelling at someone in the kitchen. So unclean andunprofessional. Businesses are hurtin due to the pandemic. So any type of customer transactions should be highly appreciated.NOW! I see why New Spot Eatery! ,is getting all of their business, that is located across the street from them. An apologygoes a long way.

You all have a great token of joy who enjoys his job and provides excellent customer service! Definitely hard to find these days. I appreciate Kevin because I wasn't in the best of spirits but his vibrant personality brought laughter to my day. Thank you Kevin!

I reached out to Nathan for help, and he suggested that I return the sandwich for a replacement. However, since it was already after 8 PM and I live in Katy, TX, going back the next day wasn’t really feasible. I began to worry that I might have received a returned sandwich from someone else. Additionally, the receipt stated a no-refund policy, which left me feeling trapped with my order. I would advise others to be cautious with this establishment—it's probably best to avoid it!

I was taken aback to find bacon in the red beans and rice; a disclaimer about that would be useful, as I expected them to be meat-free. Additionally, on two separate occasions, I noticed hair on my bag and container, which was quite off-putting. While the service was quick, the overall customer service could use some improvement. At the drive-thru, the staff member and I ended up just staring at each other for a moment before he finally opened the window to take my order.
