  3 stars because I frequent here often and though the food is good, I’ve vowed to stop spending my money dining in. The service is consistently spotty. I’ve dined many times where you have to get up and remind the staff that you’re there. I hadn’t dined in for a long time (consistently get pickup) and this afternoon reminded me why I don’t. Waited for a while, it wasn’t that busy, just me, another table that had gotten their food and a group that was leaving. My waiter took a while to come over, never checked in on me to see how the food was and was scrolling on her phone behind the bar. I had to get up after a while to ask for to go ware. She left the device to check out on the table and said not one “you’re welcome” or “thank you” while I was there. But like I said, this isn’t the first time service has been this way. When Abel was serving, I would come in weekly because the service was that good. Outside of him, consistently poor service. I still left an 18% tip btw, I usually do more. People consistently patronizing a business in this economy deserve better service. I’ll be getting my food to go or pick up moving forward.

  First time trying this restaurant . Good food but the prices are false advertisement. I went to the website and decided to order a salmon sandwich for $11.99. I did order extra peppers and onions which is $.75 a piece. I just looked at my bill and I was charged $21.00. I called the store and they said the fee is for the base. (No meat) That’s not what it says on line. I feel like they didn’t want to help solve the problem but rather steal the difference from their customers. Who knows how long this has been going on. Very disappointing as a first time customer

  I always get the vegan platter to go. I get *three meals* out of a $17 dish! It is so filling, but also so delicious that I want to keep eating, but my stomach is fulllll.

  Delicious! Simply outstanding food! More than likely, there is something on the menu for everyone. In my group there were 2 vegans and what they ordered was fantastic! The restaurant was busy the entire time my group was there. The Meats tibs is plenty for 2 to 3 people to share. I will be back!
