Today I ordered from Taste Bud and it was absolutely terrible. First and last time for me.My Sgt went to pick the food up.If I would have gone there, I look at my food before I leave. I would have told them to give me my money back.We ordered two burrito Philly.Old meat, no lettuce, could barely see the cheese and I had like 3 little teny tiny chops of tomatoes.Both sandwiches were terrible.The fries were so old you couldn't even attempt to eat them.Just terrible.I don't know how they stay in business.Totally ridiculous how this ordered turned out.😤 01/17/24.The service was fast because they gave him old food that didn't have to take time to cook.

Please come back today I don’t know what they did but I’m the boss and I don’t like the fact that you got something wrong my name is Bettie and I stand on what I do call me 7735754517
My co-worker is from Chicago and she took me here for lunch yesterday.Amazing Philly Cheese Steaks.The fries are hand cut fresh to order and are covered in some sort of delicious tangy BBQ sauce.The meat on the sandwich was nice and hot and just the right amount of cheese.Nice job guys! 10/10

Thank you for that great review continue being one of our great customers god bless!
Update below...I went to the location and ordered the philly chicken sandwich with double meat, only cheese, grilled onions and mayonnaise.It was good.Fries and a drink came with it.For $14.00.I just wish they used mozzarella cheese or provolone cheese.I don't like American cheese on Philly chicken sandwiches. Update...I'm giving them a 1 star now.Since my first order I've placed two more orders through DoorDash, same order.My 1st order I got a Kool aid drink with my order as you can see above.My last two orders through DoorDash I did not receive a drink.I tried calling the restaurant on several occasions to verify if maybe a mistake was made.Taste Bud never answers their phone.I even sent a message on their Facebook page.And no one ever replied.I don't like that the communication is bad.Not good business.

Sorry for the inconvenience but if you order on the phone with Doordash you must request a drink but the next you order say Bettie and you’ll receive a free drink. Thank you and our phones are hooked to Door Dash or Uber and we can’t answer sorry again.
