This is the first time I've had fast food in I don't know how long- over 5 years. I came here…read morebecause it was quick and my daughter was in between games for a bball tournament. I ordered the B4 small combo which is the chorizo breakfast burrito. I added cheese for the potato oles. The total came to over $10. The burrito was warm but not hot. It was ok- it had jalapeños and hot sauce. The oles were good- crunchy like they should be. I already hate myself for eating this and I won't eat fast food for probably even longer. No pics necessary.

Stopped by Frontier Cafe and tried a few things. The chicken ranch wrap was definitely the…read morehighlight--it was pretty good and I'd give it around a 6.6/10. The cheese curds were just okay, nothing that really stood out. I also ordered fries with cheese and gravy, basically going for the Chicago-style disco fries I'm used to back home. The gravy ended up being mushroom-based, which unfortunately wasn't for me since I'm not a mushroom person. That one was more of a personal preference issue than anything else. Overall, it wasn't a bad meal, but nothing really blew me away. The chicken wrap was solid, while the cheese curds and fries were just okay for me. Still worth trying if you're in the area, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it. 3/5.

Didn't think much of it, but then found out that someone had logged off the cash register and was trying to 'reboot' it. One customer handed them enough to cover their bill and more, another waited and was charged $23 for a sandwich and chips...he asked, 'Are you sure?', and paid, and the customer that came in after us ordered a sandwich, looked at the chaos, and walked out while they were starting to make their sandwich. Oh...it took 5+ minutes to get the register back in operation. We were in line and stuck with it...maybe not our best decision. We ordered a Chicken Onion Teriyaki to split. There were three young men working, and two seemed to be VERY new to the game. A couple of them worked to build our sandwich, and in fairness, the veggies were fresh and pretty tasty. The chicken was OK, but they didn't put on a lot of teriyaki sauce, and that turned out to be bad, as they toasted the bun too much and it was really crunchy. We ate it in the car in an effort to get home more quickly and had sandwich shrapnel all over from the very over-toasted bun. We choked it down...and unfortunately my previous hesitation with trying Subway was reinforced with this visit. I have to say I am going to seek to avoid them again whenever possible, and I certainly will avoid this location.
