    Very mediocre experience for the price… sandwich had way too much bread and not enough protein!

    I’m sorry I’m paying $8 for a cup of soup that’s about the same size as chic fill a cup ice cream? Who do you think you are Panera, grove park inn? I’m sure even grove park for cheaper prices. No hate to the employees they are the best people.

    Well okay seems like everybody else has gone to this place except me I really don't go out to eat much and I'm very picky But When my friend offered to bring me here And he assured me that the food was good I said okay I'm so impressed with the menu There is a lot of healthy things to choose from and I love they List of the calories for each item From soups to sandwiches There's a lot of great combinations and salads My friend ordered a salad with tuna sandwich And I ordered Mediterranean With tomato soup I swear you can't go wrong in this place The prices are good What does seating options we decided to sit outside or it's quiet The food came up super fast and super fresh In the The lady who took our art of a very very kind Personable and probably deserves a raise
