Terrible service, literally couldn't believe how bad it was. Food was subpar and too sweet. Won't be back.

Dave, we need to talk. When I walk in and order takeout and pay in advance, I shouldn't be prompted with a tip screen. What EXACTLY am I tipping for? Nobody's done NOTHING yet. But when the cashier stares at me while I ponder whether to tip IN ADVANCE, I start to get it. It's extortion. Like, how long do you want to wait for your order? Do you want us to get it right? How important are those extras? I caved and tipped. No customer should be put in that position. Fix it. 

Business response:

I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience. This isn’t the standard we strive for, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused. We would appreciate the opportunity to make things right. Please contact us directly at http://dhcfeedback.com so we can address your concerns.

STICKY TABLES! ALL OF THEM! I ordered a #1, 2 tenders, fries and I added a small drink. I was put off by the the giant turd shaped 'tenders' covered in a huge amount of cheetoh dust. The amount of the orange dust made it inconvenient to eat, because I was constantly wiping my fingers. The pickles and dipping sauce were pretty good and the fries weren't bad, if not a little too salty. The bill was 15 dollars which is pretty normal for a single cheap meal in the touristy district it's in, but I don't think they should automa... read more

This is the worst food I've ever had in my 14 years of living, when i bit into this sandwich it tasted like shit.

The food was not what I expected. I tried mild and it had a taco seasoning taste. Although the food was not what I was looking for the service from Jax at the Broad Ripple location was more than stellar.

Buy you a pkg. of chicken breasts & cook them AT HOME for the same price they try to charge you here for ONE filet of chicken. At least you know after you've waited 30 minutes for your food, it'll be HOT (temp & flavor, if that's how you want it). Inflation is too high to play around w/ money for bad customer service, long wait times, ridiculously high prices & COLD FOOD. #Next ...

The food was not as advertised. The chicken itself was good but there was no kale slaw on it and the bun was small and cheap. I also got a small handful of fries not a complete serving. Overall not satisfied.

Ambiance is alright. Service slow but felt pushy. Food is honestly nothing special. Alternative recommendation is red light chicken.
