    African American people are obviously not welcome to this establishment. I would never eat here again. I am a special needs assistant teacher and the school gave out coupons for a pick 2 option for free. The school often gives these coupons out right before the holidays to help the teachers. I called before arriving to make sure they were allowed of course to get there and it be a whole issue of the coupon code not working to them being possibly fake. What really threw me off was they didn't ask at the time of purchase but waited for me to sit do and enjoy my meal to ask out of curiosity. Not only was it demeaning because I was there to get free food but it was also embarrassing. I hope that we learn that the things we doand say effect a lot of people not just ourselves. 🙏🏽😞

    I needed to bring lunch for 10 people for a client of mine, I came in completely unprepared and D’Shon spent his time to help guide me to the best option for my needs. He was incredibly helpful in a variety of ways. The food was packaged wonderfully. Any time I am in the Santee area I will be utilizing this store for my client lunches. Could not be happier with my experience. Thank you D’Shon.
