Consistent Job good for temporary
Line Cook
Good job, hours are good and pay is alright. It all really depends on manager and how good of a person they are. Job is super easy and you could have fun while doing it with co workers.

High turnover rate for a reason
Line Cook
San Dimas, CA

Nice place to work but not enough hours.
Line cook
Not a bad place to work but not many hours. If you’re just looking for a part time job this is a great place, but those who need the 40 hours may want to have another part time lined up.
