This is what they now are calling a pickle spear. Two bites and it's gone
John M.

I've eaten there for years. I've gone though getting a nice pile of free standing potato chips to a pathetic bag of Kettle chips. From a decent serving of potato salad on my plate to a premeasured little cup. They went from having a big jar of pickles to serve yourself to giving you a pickle spear if you asked. But now it's a little two bite pickle chip at best. Ridiculous.

I ordered extra chicken salad... paid and extra $1.35 I believe and this is what my sandwich looks like. This is the second time this has happened. Just sad.

Lots of room

One of my favorite national chains finally getting another location in the area, the mobile app is smart and intuitive offering all the great ways to customize items especially triggering my fancy with able to load up sandwiches with spinach and peppers, the rewards program is wonderful, and this location boasts a fresh new building and friendly staff. I ordered takeout with the app getting the reuben and a Southwest sandwich both made perfectly and loaded up on moist and savory meats and veggies. Both were enjoyed by me and a few others within the hour for dinner, like seeing paper based take out boxes! Much better for the trees and water cycle - definitely an easy fast food option for West Lafayette knowing they can get properly cooked ingredients on a large menu. My mom loves the huge spuds! I'm stuck on the chili and broccoli sides especially as few places offer a healthy side menu. It's all good to go here and real fine to dine in.

Soo.. I was hired at McAlisters in Plainfield in early March. WHERE AND WHO I LOVED WORKING WITH. but then I moved back to town and started at the West Side location which was built the same month I started in Plainfield. I came home & I was very open with my managers at both jobs, (McA & Yata) about my last year, my therapy, & my situations at the time. I tried to contact many people about the people in charge of this store because especially at the time and the regional manager Amber did nothing. Then her boss Tom came when he heard that one of the managers was talking about how she pictured all of us NAKED & how we all had SEX. (In better wording.) the stores attitude depended on the assistant manager most times. The text message screen shots tell them all. There was so much that happened including them selling expired meat. If you wanna work with children go to one of the elementary school cafeterias. They will know how to manage & lead people more and what's right instead of thinking they're your minions. At first it was all fun and games until it wasn't. -Cutting hours for going to higher ups -Refusing my day off for therapy due to a "black out" schedule that was never mentioned -management is petty and refuses to talk to you -after I didn't show the day I had therapy *refer to allison and Nicole's screenshots* -they will give you the silent treatment while at work -single you out -rules that apply to those they don't like -the GM screaming at the assistant manager calling her a bitch in front of a group of toddlers & their parents *refer to Malik's texts* -never sending my W2s -most of the other employees didn't speak up because of how they saw the management treating me when I was put as the face of texting upper management (which originally was never me but I never corrected them because I could take it) -Never even told me about my employment or my status. -My mom is the DON of Bright Star told her girls not to eat at the West Side location and a couple weeks later 2 of her girls did and they got sick from it.

I ordered a soup + mac & cheese. The food itself is okay but it was pretty pricey and the portions were not that good.

2 stars. TL;DR -…read moreroot beer in frosted glass is divine; onion rings were delicious; service is lacking. We were intrigued by the root beer and loved the idea of enjoying it in a frosted mug, so we popped over for dinner. We ordered a myriad of things, all of which were eventually served in one giant paper tray with zero markings to identify what was what. And our root beers? Served in paper cups. When we asked about the frosted mugs, we were told they were about to close and had suspended tray service. However, the car that pulled in AFTER us received frosted mugs... and so did the folks seated at the picnic tables. So... huh? We flagged down a different carhop and asked why those patrons were still being served mugs. Again, we were told it was because they were about to close. But the sign clearly stated they closed at 10 PM, and both parties arrived after us and received mugs after we'd already been told service was suspended. Was this a case of dining while Black? In this current political climate, I honestly never know. I certainly pray that wasn't the case. The carhop apologized and didn't offer any additional excuses. She simply said she'd speak with the manager. Shortly thereafter, two frosted mugs appeared, filled with some of the creamiest root beer I've had in quite some time. I prayed over mine again because, listen... I worked in restaurants. I've seen crazy things. For the record, the hours posted on the menu board are incorrect. They actually close at 9 PM on Saturdays, not 10. And right at 9, the lights shut off completely. So if you plan to keep eating, you'll need to turn on your dome light like it's a tailgate party. The onion rings and root beer were genuinely enjoyable. The hot dogs, burgers, fries, and fried mushrooms were mid. Just... meh. Nothing to write home about. But what truly irritated me was the corn dog. Everybody knows the best part of a corn dog is that crispy little batter nugget near the stick. WHY would they scrape it off?!?!?! Who does that? Why would you intentionally remove the batter from the stick? I was absolutely appalled. Pffft! I'd return for the root beer or maybe a root beer float, but I'd strongly advise arriving before 8:30 PM if you actually want the full frosted mug experience.

Fast food done perfect! Quick accurate service with a smile…read more Fantastic cheese coney dogs. YUMMY!

Their coffee is gross to me, as well as the drink options. Personally, chinese five spice, lemon,…read moreand other weird flavors are not the best for coffee lattes, but to each his own. Somebody obviously likes it. Staff are nice enough, no issues otherwise, just weird coffee flavors. Never had anything else, so the other stuff may be good. Thats why I rated it 3 stars.

After a few hours of working hard in Lafayette to get that bread, I needed to find a place that…read morewould sell me some bread with some stuff in between it. The Eleventh House seemed like the perfect stop for elevenses, because they are a coffee shop that also sells sandwiches (bagel sandwiches). The food menu consists of basically just bagels and bagel sandwiches, but that's fine, because The Eleventh House makes a great bagel sandwich. They also offer random little nibbly things, like hard-boiled eggs with dijon mustard, kimchi, citrus slices and "half of an avocado with a crazy amount of Old Bay," which I'm going to have to try to make at home sometime. Some of their sandwiches have exciting things in them, like pickled daikon, burnt pimento cheese (why does that sound so appealing?) and onion jam. I opted to keep my lunch rooted in the quotidian, so I got a Ranch BLT (bacon, iceberg lettuce, tomato, avocado, ranch seasoning, Kewpie mayonnaise) and the Turkey & Havarti, which is mostly just that. Maybe my choices were a little basic, but sometimes the classics are where it's at. These sandwiches were very tasty! The coffee shop / restaurant feels very open, with natural light coming through a skylight window and plants everywhere. It's a nice place to sit and chill for a while. When you dine in, they give you a number on a tarot card to place at your table. My tarot card was the Three of Wands, which I've learned represents the threshold of adventure, a call to leave your comfort zone to seek enlightenment in the world. (And, perhaps, an invitation to live deliciously?) How appropriate.
