"I don 't go to Krystals often, I pretty much have to have a craving for it. But for the past week I 'd been wanting it and finally after watching TN whoop AL 's behind I was like ok let 's go get some Krystals. It was around 9 so not too close to their closing time. We get there we go through the drive thru. One car ahead of us and no one behind us. We see employees sitting out next the the building, closer to the drive thru speaker. A few are sitting and a couple are standing, so around 4/5 employees. We get up to the speaker and when asked what we wanted we said just a minute please. Well, after a lil bit of time looking, the smell of the employees cigarette smoke started coming into our vehicle, which we should have just left then because me/my dtr both have asthma but we went ahead and ordered. I got the pick 5 for $6.95, three chz Krystals and 2 small tots (because I hate the new fries they have). I asked for my Krystals without onions because I have GERD and the lady said that they come with them already on there and they would try and scrape them off! What? I have never been told that before. I was like, hmmm ok. So my husband asked about corn pups and they no longer have those. I ordered one of the new Chix. My husband orders his and we move around to the window. After we pay we sit there and for like 10 minutes we wait and watch what 's going on. There were like 2 ladies inside working while the group of employees are still outside having a smoke break. Really? When I used to work in a restaurant environment the most that could go on break were 2 at a time, not 4/5 while only 2 people stayed and worked. There were a few cars that were behind us as we were waiting. Finally, right before we were handed our food the other workers came back in. We get home, no receipt in either of our bags. The food was mediocre at best, wasn 't terrible but wasn 't as good as I was hoping, 2/3 of mine had a few onions, what Tots I did get wasn 't fresh and the new Chix was awful. The only reason it was bigger wasn 't because of the meat, it was the extra outer part and definitely not worth $3. Probably should have just gotten McDonald 's with our kids. I guess that 's why I only crave Krystals every 6 months or so. It will definitely be a long while before I go back to that location again."
