The food was delicious and the staff were the best I have seen in a long time for fast food! They personally opened the doors for me due to it being -46 degrees with windchill. They were very polite and had excellent customer service! The bathroom was exceptionally clean. They have a fireplace in their establishment. It made it cozy and gave ambience. I ordered a Potatoes Ole Scrambler. For it being considered the small, it was a very large size. And it was yummy!
