It was very good. I just enjoy having a little more pork in the sandwich. Did not order extra pork because I never had it before and did not know what to expect.

My order was ready and the chicken melt flavor was great! The cheese could have been more melty, but it was great

Reduce price of plain burger compared to burgers with all toppings. Should be more like $7 given extra patty is $4 and plain burger is patty plus bun.

We didn't ask about bbq sauce for the ribs. Not sure if we needed to include that when we ordered- or ask for it when we picked up.
