- PFPostNet FL135Feb 15, 20265.0I was afraid to come here because of the negative reviews, but honestly, there’s nothing wrong with this place. Food was ready at expected time, it tasted great. Place is clean.
- RGRoger GhazaliFeb 10, 20265.0Karen always has a smile on her face and super friendly and helpful.
- BWBrittany WallaceJan 30, 20262.0The Ciabatta Cheesesteak sandwich I got via DoorDash today was actually DISGUSTING. The onions tasted like they were literally soaked in sugar, it was like eating mouthfuls of sugar in every bite. The whole thing was drenched in sugary liquid. I threw it out after a few bites because it was inedible. The sandwich also barely had any meat on it. Really disappointed since I chose to give this location another try, even though they cross contaminated my food the last time I ordered a salad and caused an allergic reaction. I figured it was my fault for thinking I could order a salad from a busy place without risk. The last time I ordered I did a pick 2 with grilled cheese and tomato soup and my grilled cheese was mostly raw bread and barely any cheese. Doordash did not refund my order today so I absolutely won't be ordering from or visiting this location ever again. Not worth wasting my money on with so many other options around!
