    I would give this place five stars if they would actually put some meat on their sandwiches. Also, be careful with their lemonade. It is charged full of caffeine and one person actually died from it, not from this location, however. Other than that, their broccoli cheddar soup and all of their bread is really delicious.

    We ordered three sandwiches and three cups of soup, they only gave us one cup of soup and two sandwiches. They forgot about 26 dollars worth of our food. Kitchen looked dirty and staff were rather slow paced. Food was okay.

    We place an order for delivery. We order 2 creamy chicken and wild rice and they send up chicken noodle soup. We order the 4 pack of candy cookie and only got 3.

    Waited over 40 minutes AFTER I got the email that my order was ready for a single cup of soup! This place is also so dirty and the staff move at a snails pace. The manager Erica was just standing around while 7 people were waiting. I would say I feel bad for these workers but it doesn’t look like they care for the customers either. Management needs to do SOMETHING! And the place is so dirty! Hats, aprons, and dirty dishes stay longer than the guests. The bathroom was “stocked” with no soap, seat covers, and the tp was left on top of the container??
