    First you have to stand in line before they take your order fast-casual style. But then they charge you a mandatory 15% tip! What is that for? They don't wait on your table. What if the service or food is bad? What if you need another drink? Seriously, what in the world is this mandatory tip for? It's only purpose is to sneak in more revenue. The food is okay. The atmosphere is mid. It's too loud to hear anyone more than 2ft away from you. They have no sound dampening. There is a huge concrete wall with nothing but water stains on it. Who wants to look at that, especially with premium pricing?
