    Stopped while travelling through State College. I was served a sandwich with smashed broken bread. The sauce was all over the plate and food. I had to eat my sandwich with a knife and fork. This place is a disaster

    Had a piece of nectarine in my dressing that I accidentally poured in my Caesar salad and then I had nectarine in it. The salad was so bad too. I saw a review about a salad a month ago from someone so obviously whoever is making the salads isn’t doing a good job :(

    Awesome service from Jason and Carrie! Thank you for helping—I had forgotten to submit an order for 35 customers for lunch and was worried that I’d have to cancel at the last minute. Jason jumped right in and helped select items and make recommendations. He and Carrie got it all done in 30 minutes!!! Strong recommendations for that team and much gratitude for their efforts!!

    The portion size is quite small for half sandwich. It’s like kid size for adults. All fast food I feel does this these days. To be full, be prepared to pay.
