I had the harvest salad and the autumn squash soup. Both were good although the autumn squash was a little too sweet. I didn’t need a bowl a cup would’ve done just as good.

Came in and ordered the French Dipper, which a half comes with a 4oz cup of dip and ordering the whole sandwich only comes with the 4oz too.
Obviously it's not enough..
When asking for extra dip, which would've came with the order if I ordered the sandwich in halves, I was told it would cost me $7 to get that other cup of dip!
REALLY...
Asked to speak with the Manager and he came out and basically said, there's nothing we can do, and started talking about their policies....and then Literally said: "Deal with it!" And walked away!!!
All I can say is WoW!!!
I'm actually still sitting in here but I'm sure I'll Never come back here again!
Have No clue what has happened to customer service these days!!
But if you're expecting Normal Customer Service and/or courtesy..
This ain't the place!!!

Dreadful restaurant. Avoid this location. 50% of the drive-thru orders are missing items. Delivery service provided by their chosen companies doesn't answer their phones, resulting in incorrect or partial order deliveries. The manager is rude, doesn't seem to know how to treat customers, and doesn't care about quality or accuracy. Take your business elsewhere.
