Customer service everywhere is declining . I don’t understand why workers think it makes sense to cook food while using their phone , it’s unsanitary. No gloves , no hair nets ….nothing . I walked up worker still on the phone , I order the product still on the phone , she is making the product while phone is in other hand and as it’s cooking still the phone .

I only have it one star because the funnel cakes taste good. However the service here is horrible. The 2 employees that I have encountered never smile. They seem as though they hate their job. I spoke and the tall gentlemen didn’t even speak back. So we waited at the counter waiting to be serviced as the gentlemen was cleaning and spraying a ton of Fabuluso, still no acknowledgement. He eventually said I will be with y’all in a moment. Okay he continued to spray and clean. Then came around and took our order. Not sure why the morale is so low here, but it is very unwelcoming to say the least. I go to the one in Orland Park they are happy and smiling. The young lady that works here took our ordering and was on her phone the whole time. She put toppings on that we did not ask for. This location has to do better. It’s not a good look at all to be so unprofessional. I will continue to go to the one in Orland just for the good service. You have to treat your customers nice, they are the ones that keep you in business.

Finally made it to the funnel man location in Merrillville after being told that the food was delicious. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. After waiting just a few minutes, a young man came into the shop from the store next door and took our order. No acknowledgment, hellos, thank you, or even a goodbye. I will not be coming back or referring. I did find out the owner passed, hopefully the attitude changes to keep his memory alive, and make him proud by continuing his legacy with good service.

LOVE the funnel cakes but the guy with the glasses obviously dislikes his job. He never smiles and just isn’t friendly. Maybe the Orland location is better.Thank you for your reply, however he was that way before he passed away.

Fantastic Food and Customer ServiceEveryone could take a cue from this place. I visited about a month ago and when I walked in although there was a short line and the staff was busy, I was greeted with a smile and told that I'd be helped shortly. The staff was courteous, professional, friendly and fast with service all at the same time. They were all more than willing to answer any questions that I had, prepared the food in a timely fashion and really made my first experience one of the best I have ever had. This is a great place with a variety of treats for children and adults, and I can't wait to go back!

Excellent place and very yummy. I got the banana pudding and let me tell you it was amazing. You get a lot of toppings for the price and it was amazing. Friendly and did I mention very good. I would highly recommend and for the price. 1000%
