    Initially, I bought a meal of soup and sandwich the greens on the sandwich were all slimy so I took it back to the counter. I was very pleased to give me a drink while I waited for them to make a new one when I got the new one. It was a whole sandwich,, not a half with a bag of chips.

    The entire kitchen staff is rude. Throwing food at customers is never an acceptable practice. This establishment needs a complete process overall.
