Ordered rapid pickup. My sandwich was given to me with more than half of the toppings not even on the sandwich. The cheese was literally still stuck together, I had to peel the slices apart myself to get more than one bite of a giant block of cheese right in the middle of the sandwich. Avocado wasn’t even sliced. Just two whole pieces that didn’t stay on the sandwich. It was an absolute mess.
I also modified my sandwich to have NO aioli, but there was an orange aioli sauce all over half of the toppings. I do not like mayo. That is why I MODIFIED my sandwich to not have any. Overall terrible experience and this isn’t the first time this location has given me a sandwich like this.

If you are going to lock the bathrooms put the code on the receipt. Nobody wants to have to ask the busy staff for the code.

“Out of spoons”
How is the soup restaurant out of spoons? Send someone over to Kroger and get some more.

I came to this restaurant because I happened to be in the area and I was meeting up with my daughter to help her with her homework. We ordered a couple of drinks and a snack. Nothing to write home about so far, however when we went to pick our items up, this is the part of the review that gets interesting.
As I approached the counter I recognize what I ordered and proceeded to pick it up. However one of the workers in the back ask me if I was Dave, I told her I was not so she gave me a weird look and I took a few steps back to continue to wait. There were only three customers in the restaurant with me waiting for food and each one of those customers were served. Finally the person behind the counter was wondering how come the food wasn't picked up.
She looked closer at the receipt to discover she had initially called the wrong name. When I stepped up she asked me why I had not come forward to correct her and I told her I was going to and that when I stepped forward she told me it wasn't mine. She became irrational in talking loudly with her coworkers about my incompetent display and other things but I walked away to avoid a situation.
My daughter was unable to study, because the two women would not stop talking loudly about the situation and what music they prefer to indulge. At that point I refilled my beverage and we left the restaurant, I wouldn't recommend this particular location. But I'm assuming it's just those two workers. I didn't find a manager while I was there but I will be reaching out to higher ups about the incident.
Please do better, I really like the butternut squash soup, but won't ever stop into this location to get it again.
