    AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! I should have looked at reviews prior to coming to this "restaurant". ✓ Squash soup disgusting. Tastes sweet & like perfume. Avoid! ✓ Chicken Noodle soup was basically all broth & tasted terrible. ✓ Half a BLT sandwich was mediocre. ✓ It was 49° outside & they had the AC on! Cold inside, cold air blowing on us! ✓ WAYYYY overpriced. $31 for 2 half sandwiches & 2 cups (not bowls) of soup & 1 fountain drink ($3.59!!!). ✓ Manager asked if we were okay but didn't stick around for an answer. PATHETIC! WILL NEVER BE BACK! YOU'LL GET FOOD POISONING!
