    Doughnuts were the only edible thing we ordered! The burgers had a putrid smell and the meat was expired. My girlfriend and I feel nauseated.

    I would not recommend anything from here. Someone suggested this place because of the fresh donuts and I figured I would order some food, as well. The burger was dry and rubbery, the bun was just as bad, there wasn't enough ketchup to even tell it was on there. The donuts and french fries both tasted like old grease and didn't seem fresh, at all. I would give 0 starts if possible. I am very disappointed that EatStreet works with this place, makes me hesitant to use their service. I rarely write any poor reviews, as I always try to give places a chance but this was a complete waste of money and I felt sick from eating the few bites of everything I tried.

    The donuts were very good, but this place might have had the worst burger I’ve ever tasted in my life. Two bites - one to experience and one to confirm - and it went in the trash. Have had better burgers in public elementary school.

    Have ordered from here twice, both times my hot dog was cold. I dont know if this is how they serve hot dogs but I am used to them being hot. Second time I ordered they did not give me the donuts I ordered. I work in the food service industry as well so I am understanding of issues but this kind of service is garbage. Bottom line if you want to throw away money and maybe get what you ordered this is the place to go. I mean seriously the mcdonalds down the road is better.

    Just bought a “frozen lemonade” from The Drive-Thru on Oakland Avenue and North Avenue in Milwaukee, WI. I thought for $6.59 it was going to be a slurpy-size lemonade. With tax, this watered-down lemonade with little sugar and lemonade flavor that consisted of pretty much 20 oz of ice particles mixed in with lemonade kool-aid came out to just under $7 in total. This is price gouging at its finest. I wouldn’t recommend going to this place unless you want to be overcharged and undervalued as a customer. I could have went to Speedway gas station and gotten an icy twice this size for less than half the price.

    The lady working there- twice now (within a few days) was rude and stated she wasn’t ready yet at 8:30a when they open at 7a. Doughnuts are great but they need new staff asap.

    First, I spent $50 ordering from Postmates, they say they’re out of the pretzels, didn’t include fries. Tried calling the restaurant and they didn’t answer or the line or the line was busy. Never going here again.

    Ordered 2 Chicago dogs and 12 mini donuts with cinnamon and sugar. The hotdogs weren’t cooked and had no mustard. Thrown together like whoever made gave zero care. The donuts had no sugar or cinnamon. Horrible all the way around. Was hoping to support a local biz but should have went to McDonalds up the street.

    I have been here so many times and it has always been good the donuts today I went & I just could not believe what I seen I spend $20 on 2 bags of donuts, mango smoothie & dorito nachos. The smoothie was nasty very my donuts I have never seen my donuts ever look like this in the past 7 years & up going they look disgusting I really wanted to eat some but this is such a disappointment then the nachos had sloppy joe meat on it and a pound of sour cream the guy that worked there today had to take a picture of my order because he supposedly didn't see it on his system he really made this place look so bad i don't know if I would be returning after this & that is sad because I really loved this place.
