On one hand, there is so much potential for awesome salads here (given the proximity to fresh local foods) but unfortunately over half of my experiences here have been underwhelming.
Some mornings when I stop in to grab lunch on the way to work, the person behind the counter is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient while making my order. Usually on these days the quality of the order is A+ (good portion, no missing ingredients, quick).
However, there's other mornings where I make a quick stop en route to work only to find some of the most painfully slow service I could imagine just for one salad and maybe a cup of soup. To top it off, the person behind the counter usually doesn't know what type of soup they have (why isn't it just labeled?), usually doesn't fill the salad bowl up all the way, doesn't know what type of dressing is what (again, why aren't they labeled?), and usually doesn't have half of the salad ingredients prepared. Just this morning I ordered the special "summer salad" only to be told that literally half of the ingredients weren't prepped yet.
I've certainly had some good lunches here which keeps me trying but overall I'm pretty disappointed in the quality of staff behind the counter. read more
