Honestly, I have had a lot of things on the menu and it is all good. But, you have to try the broccoli and cheese soup. It is creamery and super tasty and dip some potato chips and it is pretty much soup heaven. Really though, this location is now outside of Central Mall which is great. The interior is way better with easy flow. The only weird thing I think is that the salad bar is at the front of the store and the ice cream machine is located in a weird spot. Overall, it is my go to comfort food while I am in town.

The cup of fruit was the smallest cup of fruit I ever seen taste it terrible there's a place across the street who does way better business than them all their food is on point they would get five stars. I had trouble even giving Jason's deli one star disappointing to say the least used to be the best.

It was good but they didn'thave my order correct I am…read more allergic to spice and we ordered a 20 piece tender original family meal with five rolls with three extra rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy on the side, but they only gave potatoes, coleslaw, and fried okra. We also got ranch and barbecue sauce for the dipping sauce along with extra ranch and barbecue sauce when we got home, we ate and it was the right order on the first level the first 10 pieces but underneath the next 10 we were gonna have our leftovers for supper and it was spicy chicken tenders. I couldn't eat and I mean it was spicy my husband and my son said and they like spicy food, but they said it was so spicy they couldn't even hardly eat it so we called and the manager told us that she was very sorry for the mishap the misunderstanding and if we brought our receipt up there that she would refill our order completely my husband and my son are on their way now to get that order redone so I wantto thank Golden Chick for seeing their flaw ofnot listening when a customer gives an order properly because there are people out there that are allergic to certainthings and when you tell themyou're allergic, they should take head to that and pay attention to what they are giving out, but I want to thank the manager for being nice and courteous. she seemed very sweet on the phone and my husband said she was very nice. personally so I thank her very much but I would still give it a four. The food was great but the order and the lack of understanding about someone's allergies, so that's the reasonI can't give a 5 review

The patty melt which was served on a rye/white bread mixed bun had two patties which were very small and did not fill out the bread at all. It was maybe three bites of meat in the entirety of the burger. Also upon arriving we were given two different servers who both seemed confused as to who would be taking care of us. Admittedly the fries and grilled chicken sandwich were very tasty but otherwise a very disappointing and dissatisfying experience.

Not a single burger was labeled and with 6 different burgers makes it extremely difficult to figure out what is what.

No other burger had white cheese either so I'm assuming since NOTHING was labeled that they did not include my order. For a $25 burger it is unacceptable! Never again.
