The drive-thru line looked like it wrapped halfway to tomorrow, so I decided ordering ahead and picking it up inside would save some time. Unfortunately, that's where the good decisions ended. This location had recently reopened after what I assume was a remodel, so I expected it to look... well... fresh. Instead, it looked like the adults had taken the day off and left toddlers in charge. While waiting for my order, I leaned against one of the half walls only to immediately pull away because it was sticky. Not "someone just spilled something" sticky. The kind of sticky that makes you wonder how long it's been since anyone wiped it down. Then I started looking around. The floors looked like they'd survived an entire day's worth of traffic without seeing a cleaning. Nearly every surface I noticed looked neglected. For a restaurant that has built its reputation on cleanliness and efficiency, it was genuinely surprising. The lone bright spot was an older gentleman working the dining room. He greeted me warmly, asked how he could help, pointed me toward the pickup area, and wished me a great day. In the middle of what otherwise felt like complete chaos, he was the only person who projected professionalism and genuine hospitality. Then came the food. My fries were limp and soggy. The chicken was dry, tasted as though it had been sitting far longer than it should have, and honestly wasn't worth eating. I ended up stopping at Trader Joe's, buying a salad instead, and throwing the Chick-fil-A meal straight into the trash. I hate wasting food. I hate wasting money even more. But I especially hate wasting both at the same time. I sincerely hope this was just an unusually bad day for them. For me, though, one visit was enough. I'll be taking my quick lunch stops elsewhere.

The tenders were crispy, seasoned just right, and the fries? Whew. Different in the best way. I couldn't quite put my finger on it -- maybe coconut oil? Whatever it was, it worked. Now let's talk about the service, because this was the cherry on top. The manager was so personable and genuinely proud to share the story of Happy Chicks and their locations. You could tell she loved being there -- and that kind of energy set the tone for my whole meal. The place was clean, the parking lot spotless, and service was quick. I'll be back to try the spicy tenders next time. If you're near Research Blvd, swing by and check them out. Your taste buds (and your mood) will thank you. P.S. Cory, don't come for me -- I know there are no pictures. Next round (spicy tenders!), I got you.

The house-made blueberry preserves? Unreal. The local honey and butter? I could have eaten them with a spoon. My mouth is literally watering just thinking about it. Then came the cinnamon roll--crispy, golden edges with that gooey center that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and do a little happy food dance. We also shared The Old Fashioned biscuit sandwich, featuring house-made sausage that was so good it made us question all other sausage. Naturally, we had to "research" the bacon too--perfectly cooked, smoky, and absolutely worth it. We sat out on the porch with my pup, Lily, who was treated like royalty (fresh bowl of water and plenty of adoring attention). She gives the bacon two paws up! The staff? Absolute gems--Mark & Marie were warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to have us there. It felt more like breakfast at your favorite relative's house than a restaurant visit.

With a recent diagnosis of high cholesterol, I am trying to eat even better. With that said, I am not going to be that girl is maniacal regarding sweets. You know the type, everywhere the person goes they have to make a public service announcement about their diet. In fact, Since I had a donut this morning, I am having a salad for lunch and dinner. Everything in moderation is my mantra in life. Today was my first day in Schlotzsky's in many moons. I remember the restaurant having an assortment of salads that were fresh, high in protein, and delicious tasting. Chicken Cobb Salad was my salad de jour. The salad is comprised of grilled chicken, bacon bits, hard-boiled egg, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and mixed greens with a creamy ranch dressing on the side. I do not usually pour salad dressing on my salad, but instead dip my fork into the salad dressing and then add salad to fork. It is a eating trick I learned about 20 years ago. Salad doused with too much dressing, quickly becomes super unhealthy. It is amazing how many calories are in salad dressing and unhealthy fats. The greens were fresh and crisp. The chicken breast was tender, well-seasoned, and thinly sliced...it might even be mistaken for turkey if you did not taste it first. The different textures and flavors made the Chicken Cobb salad delicious to eat. Service was great...we were greeted as soon as we went up to the cashier and our food was prepared rather quickly. When we lived in Washington state, we rarely could purchase a lunch salad under $15. This salad was priced sub $10, therefore exceeded our expectations. The salad was so large it was big enough for two means, so even a great value. Schlotzsky's interior is eye-catching and colorful. It has a rather whimsical and inviting persona. Also, there is ample free parking. Schlotzsky's is awesome for a quick high-protein salad.

My kiddo loves their cheese pizza which is always a great deal for a meal with a drink and cookie for their kids meal option. I love their salads as the portions are huge and every time I get the entree salad, the ingredients and garlic bread side that comes with it is so fresh. My go to these days is mobile ordering and picking up my food, which the app works well and even rewards you with a loyalty system. The offerings for BOGO Wednesday pizza makes family meals for dinner a great option for us during the work week when we don't want to cook. It's a clean, safe space, and I also appreciate the bathrooms were well maintained and the staff who accommodate our orders were very friendly and nice! You can do no wrong when you stop at Schlotzsky's so they have my heart and my return loyalty for family noms!

Terry's exactly once, but I had the double cheeseburger and it was just a little bit different than other burgers.

And, AND, Instead Of Being Forced To Eat French Fries YOU Can Choose BANANA BREAD! The rich banana flavor was enhanced by a dense texture and a moist content that dares your neighbor to bring another dry loaf of imitation dessert to the backyard barbecue and see what happens. You know what, I've changed my mind. Don't got to P. Terry's - if everybody decides they like it then the lines will get long and... you wouldn't like it anyway. Never mind what I said, you just go on eating your hamburgers at those other places. I'm Totally ONLY Going to P. Terry's Because the Line is Shorter, NOT FOR ANY OTHER REASON.

I opted to have the single burger with cheese, fries, and an iced tea. I went through the drive-through which are two lanes, and stopped at the window. You have to be careful because the outside drive-through lane they have people walking back-and-forth delivering food. In the lane closest to the building when you get to the window, you get blaring music. That was my only complaint. I'm not gonna say they're fast food because all three times I went. I had to wait for my food. But it did come out hot. The burgers are pretty much OK they're not the greatest but the real meat the cheese is always melted and the vegetables are fresh. Now the fries I noticed people complaining on reviews saying they're burnt. I absolutely loved mine. They were perfect. The best part is when you reheat them in the oven they get really crispy, which are my favorite. The pricing is extremely reasonable.

Only critique I have is that since the food is nearly all cooked, the flavor of the main dishes could be improved. Also, the pricing doesn't make sense as you can get a meat-based dish for the same price as a vegetarian dish. There needs to be some adjustments made there. Otherwise, I'll continue to support this business! Make sure to call in your order to save both yourself and the business fees.
