Service was initially slow, our server was gabbing with another table for a while. But once she realized we were her table, things picked up. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's that industrial chicken salad with only celery and the meat is pulverized into a paste. Very bland. The potato salad is reportedly homemade, but also very smooth and strong mustard flavor. Not great. The turkey bacon melt was a bit better. The grilled sourdough bread on both sandwiches was really good. And the pasta salad had a nice vinegar tang. It was actually really good. We found free parking about a block off the circle. Fairly quick in and out as we were driving through, so that was a plus.

Looked like some sort of tiny gas station soy Pattie and a regular old Walmart bun, not even a warm or grilled bun. This thing shouldn't have been more than $3.00. I get they aren't a burger place but it's definitely the worst I've had from a mom and pop home style restaurant. Pie was amazing as usual otherwise they'd have gotten 1 star. They've got to get rid of the cheap burger meat though. That was awful. If I had more time I would've complained but I had to get back to work.

Unfortunately our nav system indicated we would get there exactly at closing time. I phoned to let them know of our situation. They responded that it was NOT a problem, they'd be there! Sure enough, I walked in at 1:59, all the employees were busily cleaning up, the owner was at the register, I told her I'd just called and our order. They could not have been nicer, happy to help us out! I loved the space also with local art work and a little book store of local lore written by local authors.

I tried the quiche which had great flavor, although it was a bit chewy. The chicken salad croissant trio hit the spot for a light lunch. I decided to make it a true sampler by trying one of each of the three flavors of chicken salad. The Waldorf chicken salad was my favorite and I'd probably have that again with a cup of soup since I didn't get to try any this visit.
