    The full salads are my favorite. The half soup and salad is a great combo. It is a great place to read and study.

    I was at the drive thru and they got my order wrong so I ended up going inside. Don took care of it! He had me keep the “wrong sandwich”, a pastry and a drink! Thanks for the great customer service Don!
