Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Customer service chap, Mark I think was his name, was very sweet and helpful."
  • "The staff walking the floor are absolutely amazing in this place."
  • "The staff there are really really helpful and always give my grandson balloons when he asks and always go the extra mile trying to help you."
  • "Staff are always great, too."
  • "The whole team at Torquay who served my son and I in the drive through were happy chatty and pleased to help."
  • "The staff in this branch are all lovely and extremely helpful!"
  • "Very friendly staff at the door, by the name of sue, she is always friendly and always cleaning as soon as anyone has touched anything."

Cons:

  • "The member of staff who came to serve us was, scruffy, unfriendly and took our order without as much as a smile."
  • "Staff did not have a clue. For some reason the cleaner decided to try and antagonise my 4 year old son after he refused to entertain her."
  • "Staff not helpful what's so ever."
  • "The staff member was clearly unable to multi task and should be given further training in customer service."
  • "There is a rude, blonde, manageress type server..(she's been there for years..) she's very abrupt, rude and short with customers."
  • "If I'm being honest the staff need a good shake up every order tends to be wrong e.g. they forgot to take the gerkins out or you ask for a STARWBERRY milkshake and bannana it is."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "The fries are perfect here too, not too salty, they are always fresh tasting and definitely warm."

  • "Food is always good 9/10 and so is the service 9/10"

Cons:

  • "Bought a snack wrap, just as I do every week, but mid-way through the wrap I realised that I was eating, slimy, brown, out of date chicken."
  • "The food was dry and chips were way over cooked!"
  • "The double big macs were so dry it would have been easier eating a pack of Jacobs cream crackers without the cheese."
  • "Chicken salad was just a box full of lettuce, a few pieces of chicken and 1 slice of onion... not great."
  • "Bought double big mac last night, no cheese, very little sauce, all i had was 4 dry beef patties and lettuce. Awful."
  • "The strawberry milkshakes taste very strange and foamy, half way through it I had to throw it away as I felt if I drank anymore that I would bring it all back up along with my meal."

  • "They do have the self-service order points which are great and there is plenty of parking."

Cons:

  • "We waited patiently for nearly half hour for just 2 cups of tea."
  • "I've seen people literally queuing like Alton towers rides here especially on a Sunday sadly (whatever happened to family roasts) so unless you have half an hour to spare there is nothing 'fast' about this fast food drive thru!!"
