    Never get napkins unless I ask, and don't understand that when I get food

    My family and I went in on a cold, rainy Friday night this past weekend and it was about 30 minutes prior to closing. We expected the two young men working would not be pleased with us showing up so late as we were the only customers in the store. However, they greeted us pleasantly with a smile and professionalism, were friendly, made our food and smoothies quickly. Everything was very tasty and they had no problem with us sitting in the restaurant to enjoy our food. We were appreciative of this yummy quick spot to enjoy a fortifying meal on an otherwise yucky evening. Thanks guys!

    The smoothies are huge! They tend to waste a little bit of smoothie in the blender. Not all of it fits into the cup. The food is pretty tasty too.
