    Sometimes staff does not recognize you are at the register waiting to order, but if you leave the lobby and order at the drive thru, they are very fast to take your order.

    I love their turkey sandwich. The cheddar cheese soup. Their cookies. But they have the worst coffee in the world.

    Tiny proportions for expensive prices.... this is half a salad for 8$... I could get this at Buger king for 3$ the lady at the register showed me a bowl size for soup, which looked very big, but it only got this cup size to go.. for almost 7$. Yikes definitely not worth the prices. Could make at home for WAY cheaper..(my mistake) I was the only one there, yet it took 10 minutes to get my salad and soup.
