It's pretty small inside, so not a great place to keep your luggage as you are waiting for your food. We were able to find a small window table. There are kiosks in the waiting area, making it easy to place your order (in French or English) and pay for it as well.

Ordered a 20 piece chicken nuggets (11€) and a Big and Tasty (9€), which came out to $21.69 on my bank card (the merchant was called NANDRE). The nuggets tasted exactly the same as in the States. Got two sauces: Mustard (Moutarde) which tasted the same as Hot Mustard, and Curry which was a new flavor and was pretty good. The Big and tasty was a double patty hamburger with all the toppings and a strip of bacon. It was pretty filling and had plenty of beef (it tasted the same to me). It wasn't a quick or easy meal after our long trip, but it ended up fine.
