    Maybe I’m just getting old but I think they have very high prices. Regarding the staff, you can tell they just work there. You try to point something out and they respond with something equivalent to a shrug, a la “what do you want me to do about it?” It’s not a place I would like to return.

    Had the Asian chicken salad which was very tasty. Waited in line to order and ended up switching to ordering using the kiosk when the line was moving to slowly.

    Literally have never gotten a correct order from this place. It always either, missing items or blatantly wrong items (ex. Wrong dressing for a salad). Like, how hard is it?

    Full of happy HS students, since it's just across the street. Can be crowded and noisy, but often not. I went with my 3 grandsons, and they fetched everything, so it was perfect for me.

    You probably already know this, but Liz at the front counter is fantastic; she always gives exemplary customer service. Knows the menu, knows what people might want, and most importantly, is friendly.
