    Got half a grilled cheese and it was barely cooked, the bread was still soft and it had one small slice of American cheese in the middle. Absolutely inedible! Total waste of money!

    Such a great drive thru experience! Chrysmaris was very polite and helpful! Coming off the heels of a terrible experience at a different establishment, it was so refreshing to have a polite and kind experience! Thank you for your kindness!

    I always get lunch here because I work in one of the shops, and today I had the most delicious sandwich ever. It was the toasted garden caprese sandwich. It had lots of dressing and sauces and what not, and nothing was lacking. It was literally the best sandwich I ever had. Please don’t take that sandwich off your menu. It is my favorite sandwich and it is just the best after a long shift. These people know what they’re doing. Thank you.

    I’ve rediscovered chicken noodle soup - delicious and great with Caesar salad in the value duets options.
