    I had the chicken wild rice soup, not much chicken and not much wild rice. It was ok, nothing to hurry back for. And there really isn't any service... You order at a counter, bring it to your table when it's ready, and then bus your table when your done.

    I ordered Tuesday dozen bagels and they were dry. Felt like day old bagels. I did a survey and got no respond.

    The assistant manager is so incredibly rude and should really be trained on proper deescalation tactics. I witnessed her take a very simple misunderstanding and began arguing with a driver confused on DoorDash pickup. I have managed several customer based establishments; and talking to them like a mouthy rude teenager was very off putting.

    Ordered online for rapid pick up. The sandwich I got had very brown lettuce on it. Other than that everything else was good. I would say someone needs to do better quality checks.
