★★★★ AdventurerJOJO_TTV 5/5/2026 v5.3.1
this app doesn't let you create an account. Not through google or Facebook. I've been trying for years and it still doesn't let me make an account on my Android 😑

★★★★ Loran Drellack Jr (R.I.P. Link) 4/30/2026 v5.3.1
Garbage app. you can't even look at prices ahead of time. Don't waste your time and money with this poor excuse of a company.

Kindly please update your mobile app, I cannot customize your Mexican Menus nor add them in my cart.
★★★★ Jason Scott 4/28/2026 v5.3.1
The inn-app discounts and member deals do not work at all. that's the only reason I use the app. I will just uninstall it.
★★★★★ Kristina Young 5/7/2026 v5.3.1
doesn't always work when trying to verify payment. Very frustrating after deciding what you want but it doesn't work to put a payment through.
★★★★★ Erica Fisher 5/6/2026 v5.3.1
this app used to work fantastic. however, it just absolutely sucks now. I cannot order food for pickup. thankfully though I can still access my code and coupons to be used in the restaurant. but today I didn't even get food since I couldn't pre-order it. I don't have time to stand around and wait. just really disappointed, please fix this.
★★★★★ Patrick Campbell 5/5/2026 v5.3.1
G Pay an issue. States "Remove payment methods in Account Details. American Express is not accepted in some locations'". So I changed payment type from American Express to Visa. G Pay would still not go through after switching payment choice to Visa. Well, I received the same message. Sorry Carl's Jr but I'm not going to completely remove my American Express card from G Pay just to appease your app. I went somewhere else - bye!
