Great service and convenient location. We often call Lucky ahead of time, he always remembers our usual and makes sure it's ready for us to pick up on the way home. Lucky's top notch, old school customer service is hard to come by these days and the sole reason we are such loyal customers. Appreciate your efforts to help ease the stress at the end of a hard day! Cheers Scott
