"This is the longest wait for a smoothie ever. They left people in the drive thru for over 20 minutes. They didn?t move the customers with larger orders to the side in order to move the faster customers along. They jus t made us sit and wait. They are way too slow. I understand some places don?t have a lot of employees right now but you have to adjust in order to move the line faster. We go to the drive thru because we already don?t have a lot of time to wait. And for goodness sake, it?s just a smoothie."

When I left, there were two people waiting. I ordered a Paradise Point, and it was prepared quickly. It tasted fantastic!

This Tropical smoothie is thanks to the owner EVERYTHING. Mr. Troutman greets patrons and even briefly engages. The food and drinks are also amazing. I recommend this TSC. View menu

Fantastic staff, delicious smoothies, and tasty food! This place is extremely popular, especially on warm days, so there may be a bit of a wait. However, it's clear that the team works hard and is very attentive to their customers and their orders.

Just look at the pictures and you will understand the reason for my rating. I was given this apple as my side and my chicken, bacon, ranch flatbread had 3 cube size pieces of chicken in it. The guy making this food would not want to eat this himself so why would he serve this to a paying customer.

The smoothies and food are good but the customer service at every location I've been to is bad. The drive through is extremely slow and always messes up your order. Today it's my all american wrap that they forgot. I was asked to pull around to the handicap and they will bring it out. It's been over 10 minutes. I bet they forgot again. View menu

This is the best Tropical Smoothie compared to 2 others within a 25min drive. I will bypass them to come to this location. Orders correct and very well blended (no chunky items). Best tasting. Pleasant staff. They do offer the special smoothies that other locations have told me they are not serving. I have not tried the food yet. Order ahead and pick up in store, or drive through.

I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, it fell short. Like many other reviews mention, there was a noticeable mildew smell. I noticed that the floor and the area behind the counter didn't seem very clean. On a positive note, the person who took my order was friendly, and I appreciate that. I sincerely hope they improve their cleanliness because I would love to give this place another chance.

"Arby 's Experience and Accessibility Issues Positive Experience at Arby 's in North Carolina • I had never been to Arby 's until I went to North Carolina for work about six years ago. • There was a small town where Arby 's was very popular, so I decided to have lunch there. • Everything about that experience made me reevaluate my fast food choices and remove the other fast food places (Burger King, Wendy 's, McDonald 's, etc. from my list. Challenges with Arby 's Accessibility in Maryland • Now I 'm back home (Maryland and I can 't get my fix, and it seems like I 'm going to have to make some sacrifices. • It 's not because there isn 't an Arby 's in my area; it 's because the one in my area has poor store hours. Explanation of Drive-Thru Accessibility Issues • Let me explain before the confusion sets in: I 'm an HVAC Technician who drives a tall van. • Drive-thrus are hit or miss, with 97% of fast food restaurants having awnings and low clearance bars that I would damage if I tried to use the drive-thru. • I completely understand, and that 's another topic in itself. Specific Instances of Arby 's Closure during Accessible Hours • The reason I explained this is because the only Arby 's near me is in front of Forestville Mall, and it 's always been closed inside when I get off from work. • It 's so common that I took it off the menu. • I 've been to this location on Saturday at 6:30 p.m., Monday at 5:00 p.m., Thursday at 7:00 p.m., and finally Sunday at 5:15 p.m. Attempted Use of Drive-Thru and Lack of Service • Now, I know some people will say, 'Why not walk through the drive-thru? ' • My reply is that I tried, and I don 't get service. • Both times they said Sir this is Drive-Thur only which have me just standing there while cars pull up that is so arkward. Arby 's Customer Service Experience Encounter at the Establishment • I wasn 't going to say anything and just move on with my life until I approached the front door of this establishment and met an employee leaving. • I asked him why the dining room was closed so early to walk-ins. Employee 's Response and Reasoning • His reply was because they had already counted the cash drawer, they do not have to deal with customers at the front counter, and my favorite, 'We cleaned the lobby and front counter early and don 't want it to get dirty again. ' Customer 's Reaction and Reflection • I was shocked and in disbelief that those words came out of his mouth. • Aren 't those all the things that come with running a business? • I felt slapped in the face, which definitely had me wondering if this was all Arby 's business model or just this store 's. Customer 's Perspective on Business Operations • I do believe this is the reason customers are purchasing your product, but they 're also paying for your lease agreement, maintenance costs, distribution of goods, staff wages, and utility bills...etc. • To show this level of neglect is running an establishment into the ground, slowly but surely. • Guess I 'm gonna have to find a new spot maybe the Rasing Cane across the street it 's worth a shot."
