    Cost increases

    I've been a regular customer at this location for years now, but sadly I can no longer recommend it. In the course of less than one month, the exact same meal has gone up 9% - from $18.54 to $20.17. (Check the photos of my receipts.) I understand inflation is challenging everyone, but charging extra for the au jus for a French Dip (seems like a core part of a French DIP?) - AND - charging a "convenience" fee? I've hit my breaking point. The location is clean, and the service is generally good. But the food quality is hit or miss. The French Dip is sometimes great, sometimes overcooked/tough. I can't see spending over $20 for what is essentially a fast food meal. For the same amount, I can have a sit-down meal at other places and get more food - and still cover tip. It's a shame - at $15ish max, this is still a viable restaurant.

    This is Chilli!!!!  Horrible.

    The Chilli was Horrible. We also ordered Pretzel Dogs..they came out Cold and even asking if they could be heated up the Second order came out Cold also. The Manager did Comp our Meal but now Half our party is Full and the other Half is Hungry!! Won't be Back!!!

    The carrot cake was perfect, not too sweet, spicy and good. We went right before closing and all the staff were sweet and nice.

    One time I ordered a chef salad, & when delivered it had NONE of the toppings on it that it usually comes with.

If they start serving ham and tuna salad, I'll probably have to cash out my 401k and become a franchisee. A place serving a pentatonic choice of sandwich salads is a near perfection; if they add bologna salad this place might rule the world. But then they will probably have to change the name to "Sandwich salad salvation". They even have a "Sassy Scott", if I were chicken salad this would be me, crazy. I got a "classic carol" club sandwich with broccoli salad. I also order a small pimento salad to try. Sandwich on a croissant is perfect. Broccoli salad is fresh with a hint of sweet. The cookie is a wonderful dessert. I liked the pimento salad, great flavor, fresh with a shredded texture. However, I miss the more cheese sauce texture of most pimento cheese. They have their own club style crackers, slightly different then standard club crackers, maybe some wheat, very good. Service was fast for my carry out order, they have a drive through service. Staff is friendly. Inside is inviting, dinner meets picnic vibe.

When I mentioned to her it was the wrong type of Chicken salad, she said, "my bad". She didn't offer to give me the correct order, just turned around and did something else.

    Fire Bowl Hibachi & Sushi - Burger Week! The Loco Moco! YASSSS! A delicious Hawaiian BBQ restaurant dish morphed into burger form. Messy and delicious.

    I happened to stop by Fire Bowl and saw that they now serve SPAM MUSUBI!! I then caught on that…read morethey now serve LOCO MOCO!!! Well heck, I am a healthy man with a strong appetite for delicious food. Why not order both? I can handle it. Out came the Spam Musubi. A block of rice topped with a fried egg (a buck extra... heck yeah) and a slice of fried Spam. All stacked beautifully together like Legos and hugged by a nori blanket. I take my first bite and oh my goose nest!!! The spam is covered in caramelized teriyaki sauce. I've probably eaten these a million times but this was new and pretty special. A small variation of flavor and texture from what I was expecting and it made it more enjoyable. So I killed the musubi and out comes my loco moco. The food covered every bit of real estate on the plate. I was caught off guard and feeling a bit overwhelmed. Surely I could finish my dish. My palms were sweaty. Knees weak, arms were heavy. Can I perform? Screw it. Just grab the fork and start. Cucumber salad. Start on the green stuff. Oh my goose nest! It's good. Cool and sweet. Refreshing. Taste the pasta salad. Yummy as well. Loco Coco time. A bed of rice topped with onions, burger patty, sunny side up eggs, and smothered in brown gravy. Oooooh. I love it. This dish brings back so many memories. Takes me to the Pacific Ocean. I grub down with island vibe music jamming in the background. My server checks in on me and treats me well. And then it happens. I'm super full. I'm only half done with my loco moco. Failure hits me hard. I have to tuck my tail and ask for a take out box and carry it through the restaurant with all the other patrons whispering, pointing, and snickering at my shortcoming. But wait. I'm dining alone and this isn't an eating contest. Well heck. Just like that... I feel great! So what if I couldn't finish my food. It was a massive portion! Try it for yourself if ya be so bold.

The ambiance was casual but lively with the Olympics playing on the tv screens! I ordered a poke bowl and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and delicious it was (hard to find in a landlocked state!). The edamame and cucumber kimchi were good but I think I will hold off on the cucumber kimchi next time (was a bit soft!). Overall, a lovely spot for dinner!

    I love wheat grass juice. Haven't had it since I moved to Indiana. I was happy to find this place…read morein Kentucky. The windows are very dark and I always think it's closed. I did notice today that the sign in the window said they had already been opened for three hours now. Went in. Only one there. Looked over the really expensive menu. Didn't see wheat grass on any of the menus. Asked if they have it. The lady said they have wheat grass shots. &4 plus. I said I'll take one. She left for a while. I'm imagining her cutting fresh wheat grass and putting it through the tiny juice extraction machine. Came out and started banging a sealed container to loosen up the sediments and shook it up. I asked her , " Don't you guys press fresh wheat grass?" - she said No. my question is, how can you have a business with that in the name and promote it in many ways, and not give fresh juice ?

Wheatgrass is an awesome stop for vegan and other specific needs diets, but also a fresh, healthy option for anyone interested in clean eating. I had a smoothie and bowl of soup. All of the flavors complemented each other, and paired really well. The ingredients were fresh and well-sourced. The only thing better than the food was the excellent customer service. The lady who took my order is very familiar with the menu and made excellent suggestions to help my order. I will certainly be back next time I pass through town!
