Immediately, upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner who was very warm and friendly. They had detroit style or NY style pizzas with a decent amount of options. My friends got the NY style supreme and we got the the detroit style NY Omygosh its good style pizza which was essentially pepperoni and ricotta, which are a nice combo of mine and my wife's favorite toppings. Both pizzas were fantastic and different and delicious in their own way. We used their flat iron seasonings which we were all geeking out over while waiting for our pizzas. They were really good and a nice compliment to the pizza and I thought it was cool the owner had a partnership to sell those along with some hot honey too. The owner checked on us several times and probably was the most engaging owner I've met at any restaurant. For drinks, they had craft sodas in their fountain machine and I got the Dr pepper version which was tasty. Pickup seems to be the most efficient approach with not a ton of tables and no public restrooms.

We placed a phone order for a half-and-half pizza and a Caesar salad, and almost everything about…read morethe order was wrong. One half of the pizza was supposed to be pesto with extra pepperoni and jalapeños. The other half was ordered with extra pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and jalapeños. Instead, my half arrived with only vegetables, no sausage, no pepperoni, and not even the extra pepperoni we paid for. My husband's half was also missing the jalapeños. To make matters worse, our $13 Caesar salad came without the Caesar dressing. We were also charged for chicken when we ordered it without chicken. When I called to let them know about the mistakes, the employee said she was transferring me to the manager. The person I spoke with did not sound like a manager, she sounded like the young girl who took my order and showed absolutely no concern that our order had been completely messed up. There was no apology, no offer to replace the food, and no offer to refund the items we paid for but never received. We spent over $55 on an order that ended up in the trash. Mistakes happen, but how a business responds is what matters. Unfortunately, the complete lack of customer service was even more disappointing than the food itself. If you're charging customers for extra toppings, make sure they're actually on the pizza. And if you make this many mistakes on one order, your staff should be trained to make it right, not act like it's the customer's problem.

First…read morewhen you walk in, instead of a warm welcome, you get glared at by the little girl who is the hostess. After you order your food, which the plates around us looked good, I was sadly disappointed by the burger I ordered. Husband ordered the chicken sandwich, his was great. Nice large portion. But not my meal. It was a massive patty on a tiny bun. There was no ketchup, mustard, mayo, salt, pepper, or sweetner, at the table. And while we were still getting glared at by the teenybopper by the door, I cut into the burger to see the bottom of the bun already soggy. Something that was already a turn off. When I pulled the two halves apart, it was a little hard to tell as the room is very dark, but you could see raw meat. I ordered the patty medium, so there should be very little pink or red. I used a fork to take it apart and the meat was beyond rare; it was pretty close to mooing. Our waitress, a little more friendly that the glaring teenybopper, said raw really, then ushered the plate off, came back a few minutes later to tell me they threw another patty on the grill. Let me just say at this point, I'm done. I will not eat another bite of food when I see that. I don't care if the patty comes out a hocky puck, not touching it. The waitress was like oh, okay, can I get you anything else. Hubby said the bill, wolfed down his sandwich, and we left, still getting glared at by the little girl. I was told this was a nice spot to have a good dinner, but even the table next to us had a problem with their order, the cook cooked the wrong food. I want to support local, but at this point, I would have been better off going to Whataburger or even McDonalds. Not sure what the deal is with the hostess, but learn how to host before you become the greeter, the first face we see. As for the food, I don't even know where to start.

That said I'll be brief as if you've been to Arby's, outside of service, the food should be about the same. As far as sides go, their curly fries are the best fries in the fast-food business. The reason is simple, they're unique and very well-seasoned. The mozzarella stick are ok but lets face it, any fast food join that sells them, purchases these generic frozen sticks and fries them. So, I'd rate them average for fast-food but below average if comparing them to sit down restaurants. Their soft drinks are much like any other chain however where we diverge from the norm are their Jamocha shakes. If you like a coffee flavor in your shake this is pretty good, otherwise their shakes are on par with all others that you can zip in and purchase within minutes. Again, if you've had Arby's before there food should be familiar to you. The roast beef sandwiches (with Arby's & Horsey sauce) are really good. I used to work there in my teen years and I can tell you yes, they cook the big slabs of meat every morning. I wish they brought back the super as it has lettuce and tomato on it, but I digress. One of the things about Arby's is they're not afraid to offer interesting sandwiches outside of their best sellers. The Ruben is pretty good for fast-food. Using their signature beef as the base, then pile on sauerkraut, melted Swiss and thousand island dressing. It's actually really good. The "Greek" gyro is decent as I'm not sure what meat they use but it's not even close to authentic but the rest of the sandwich is tasty. Just don't expect the quality of someone that specializes in that food culture. When they have the Italian Sub it's surprisingly good. Not as good as those specialty shops but not bad. Overall I don't eat fast-food often and when I do Arby's is a once in a year thing for me at best. But when one considers their roast beef sandwiches, well no one else has something like it so they've cornered the market so to say. That along with their sauces, I'm actually now craving their food. Summing things up, this store is on par with any other of their facilities so if you're craving them, don't be afraid to drop by the place that claims "we have the meats!"

My first serious issue happened about three years ago during what was supposed to be a normal visit for my favorite burger and fries. At that time, the food was always great, but that day there were several teenagers running around without any supervision. One of them went through my purse and took two of my credit cards, which they later used. It was an extremely upsetting experience that I never forgot. The second bad experience happened more recently. There were several small children running around the restaurant, throwing things, and one even ran over my foot. I kindly asked the woman who appeared to be their guardian to please keep them under control, as they were screaming and causing chaos throughout the dining area. Instead of addressing the issue, the manager approached me and said he didn't like the way I complained, explaining that his own kids "act the same way." Shortly afterward, another staff member told me to leave and not to come back. Her approach was very rude and unprofessional. At that point, I had already decided I would not be returning, but the way I was treated confirmed that decision. Because of these repeated issues with unsupervised behavior and poor management, I no longer feel comfortable dining here.
