The service was friendly. We sat ourselves. Our friendly waitress brought us our menus and took our…read moredrink orders. I chose the steak salad and a side of curly fries. My lunch partner ordered chicken sandwich with a side of curly fries. MY steak was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing in my salad! It was refreshing and filling. The curly fries are amazing! My lunch partner loved her chicken sandwich as well! Our waitress was attentive and made sure our drinks were always full. I will mention the Bathroom was a bit scary, holes in the wall, ceiling tiles open (this made me check for cameras as an instinct there was nothing) the emergency light was broken and hanging, one of the sink nobs came right off in my hand. The restaurant is a little warn and tired but the smiles and friendliness of the staff make up for that.

We stood at the front and waited for a table to clear off. Another waitress yelled at us to sit wherever we'd like and we told her the tables were dirty and we were waiting and she gave us an eye roll. My husband cleared off a table for us and we were finally able to sit down. After grabbing our own menus we waited for the waitress and she finally took our order. Over an hour went by and we had no food despite the waitresses yelled telling us it would be out shortly. Tables that came in after us started getting food. My husband got up and asked how much longer and the waitresses yelled snapped at him. We ended up walking out and never eating.

Since we had a few friends with celiacs with us we figured a Mexican restaurant would definitely have options for everyone, which they did! Our waiter was super helpful and friendly double checked ingredients when asked. We all raved about our food and even our picky celiac friends were happy! Their white cheese is delish! I wasn't a big fan in the side of beans, but everyone else liked them. I will totally go back if I am ever in the area again!

I'm always suspicious when a server doesn't write down our order, but usually it's unfounded. Unfortunately, this time my concern was justified. Hubs ordered a Chicken Philly sandwich but was served a Steak Philly. The food-runner seemed indifferent when he brought us our food, and it was a solid 10 minutes before our server came by again to check on us. All she offered was an apology. And later, hubs had to wave down our server for to-go boxes because she never came back to ask if we needed anything. And yes, we were charged for the Philly sandwich. Aside from not getting exactly what we ordered, the food was fine. We might even return.

The interior looks like you've been transported back in time and NOT in a good way. Ratty faux wood contact paper everywhere and it seems like something is always burning since there's a permanent haze of grease smoke. You don't get plates anymore, just a to-go box, even if you're eating there. Food used to be cooked to order, now it's a behind the counter type of buffet where you point and they box it up. Gross. Had to wonder how long has that junk been sitting there getting stale and soggy under a steamer. Sad to see such an awesome place go down like this, but now it's a hard pass for me. I'd suggest you skip it and go to Common Grounds instead.

The Gatorade came out right away and that was the last we saw of the waitress for 40 minutes or so. We were playing cards to pass the time and didn't realize how much time until the table behind us, which arrived a bit after us, had their food. We had to flag a server down to have them check on our food. They clearly lost the check. When the food came out, it was OK. The steak was bland, the beans were a bit cool. We understand that things happen, but the fact that we were sitting for so long without anyone even noticing we didn't have our food speaks of poor service.
