About
This is a go-to spot for cheap, quick eats. The milkshakes are legendary and the trays offer great value. However, the service is notoriously inconsistent. You might get a friendly server one day and a rude one the next. Long lines and order mix-ups are common, so keep that in mind if you are in a rush.
