When people are spending their money, they deserve decent food and respectful service. Unfortunately, this location failed at both. I definitely won’t be returning, and management really needs to address the behavior of their staff and the quality of the food.
Less than two months ago, I stopped here before work with plenty of time to pick up a mobile order. I checked in on the app and waited at a stall for five minutes. No acknowledgment. No activity. Nothing. Since they clearly didn’t realize, or didn’t care, that I was there (despite the store not being busy), I went through the drive-thru instead. I was acknowledged, told to pull forward past the window… and then abandoned.
I sat there for THIRTY MINUTES. During that time, cars behind me gave up, parked, and went inside. I finally followed them, and magically, my food that was already 45 minutes late appeared in under three minutes once I walked inside. Apparently, the secret to being served at this location is to ignore the stalls, ignore the app, ignore the drive-thru, and just go inside. Otherwise, you could apparently sit outside indefinitely.
Fast-forward to tonight (12/13/25) at around 10:55 p.m. After a long shift at work, I made the mistake of giving this place another chance. I placed a mobile order for a milkshake and chicken bites, checked in, and parked at stall 15. A few minutes later, an employee came out and asked if I had an order ahead, information that should already be visible since I CHECKED IN ON THEIR SYSTEM.
I was then told the ice cream machine was “down,” which clearly meant it had already been cleaned for closing and they didn’t want to deal with it again. I was asked if I wanted something else to drink. No, I ordered a milkshake. That was the entire point of stopping here.
I requested a refund and was told I’d have to do it through the app. When I asked how to do that, the response was essentially, “I don’t know, I don’t know the app.” So now I have no milkshake, no refund, and seven dollars missing from my account with zero guidance on how to get it back.
This location excels at one thing: wasting customers’ time and money while offering absolutely no accountability, communication, or basic competence. If you enjoy being ignored, overcharged, and left to figure things out yourself, this is the place for you. Otherwise, save yourself the frustration and go literally anywhere else.
I explained to her I got the same item the night at the location on 1715 Spring Garden!
Just say, it Did Not Look Like The One I got from Gate City Location!
Even the carhop, Sydney, shrugged her shoulders like that’s how it’s made! Of course, that may not be here name but that’s the name on my receipt.
Well, needless to say, SHE needs to learn how to make a “proper” shake!!!
And I’ll just keep going to 4500 GATE CITY !
