Speedy Cafe — Restaurant in McKees Rocks

This place majorly blows. They're almost always out of one or more food choices. Today they were out of pizza crusts and at least four or five more items in their cafe. Nobody that was working there just now at about 1:15 on Saturday, 8/26/23, seemed to want to be there.

I really feel this is more a management issue to maintain and support their cashiers and working staff then necessarily a dig on the people who work there. But it takes people who want to work, and a manager (or managers), and maybe franchise owners who support their staff to be a good business. And I can guarantee you, this location is not a good business.

The cashier went over to the soda fountains to refill something just when I walked up and was standing in line to check out She was gone for 5+ minutes. There was another woman behind the counter who was looking at a computer with her back to the counter. The cashier that left couldn't be bothered to let her know that she was leaving and that there were people waiting in line? I'm sure she could hear the customers talking and waiting in line behind her and she couldn't be bothered to turn around.

I've been here before when they're ringing up somebody with dozens of lottery tickets, with one cashier, and you are forced to wait because somebody thinks they're going to strike it rich. That's not the fault of cashiers, but I think the store MANAGER needs a policy that they will only process x number of lottery tickets per transaction. I've also had people cut in line and the cashiers not say anything to them. It might be because the cashiers don't want to end up in a bad way, and I respect that. They're between a rock and a hard place in that situation. Situation. You don't know who might be carrying and have nothing to lose. But still...

Also bear in mind that several times I've been here, their credit card processing system has been down recently. So people who pull into their gas station on fumes can't get any gas unless they have cash in hand.

The gas prices are good. The food, when they have any, isn't bad. But their service sucks. It's so bad that I'm going to reach out to Speedway corporate, now owned by 7-Eleven, and suggest they revoke the name from I assume is a franchise location.

And please feel free to look up my other reviews. I don't down vote merchants who do a good job. But I'm not afraid to downvote places who do a...

After a bad first experience with them, I decided to give it another try. It was worse.

I had a pretty simple order: Double cheeseburger, everything on it, add bacon. Single Cheeseburger, everything on it, add bacon. Tater tots, cheese sauce, ketchup.

I received: A single cheeseburger with nothing on it but cheese. Another single cheeseburger with nothing on it except cheese and tomato. No cheese sauce, no ketchup, and an order of crusty mini tacos.

The people working there are obviously morons or don't know...

This place is absolutely wonderful! The staff is well trained and helpful. The MTO food is great & made fresh. You can count on the Speedy Cafe team to provide you a great meal! It is a gas station/convenience store, so I don't recommend it...
