It's not the easiest place to find if you're not familiar with the mall. I had to park in the garage and then call the restaurant to see where they were located. The person I spoke with was delightful. The only thing he didn't mention was it was outside the doors once you got to Starbucks. By the time I arrived, my order had been sitting for a good 40 minutes. Luckily, my milk shake hasn't been made but the food was cold. I immediately requested to speak with the manager. He was on his break unfortunately and no one else could handle my request. I waited for an additional 15 minutes for him to return. I asked if I could have my order remade. He did so without any question which I greatly appreciate. Now that location was very busy. Almost all the tables were full and more people were coming in by the minute. With that said, the restaurant was a mess and some of the workers clearly didn't want to be there from what I saw. I ordered a single bacon cheeseburger, onion rings and a vanilla shake. The bacon was undercooked and the burger was questionable. I threw it in the trash after one bite. The onion rings were decent and milkshake was pretty good. I expected better for $25. I would not recommend or come back here. Honestly, if I knew I would end up at the mall I would have just went to coastal flats.

Blazin Chicken & Gyro

I love Blazin Chicken & Gyro! They serve it up differently than the typical Halal Guys-style shop -…read moreand different in the best way. Their proteins and fries are perfect, their salad is cold and crisp, and the execution of their rice is consistently the benchmark. First off though: the lighting is really harsh. It's Temu hexagonal 10000K bright white led honeycombs from blaze hell. The walls are primer black, and there are no paper towels in the bathrooms. Solution: I almost always get my food to-go. I flip flop between the Falafel Platter and the Mixed (Chicken + Lamb Gyro) Platter with the following no-charge mod: NO fries, MORE salad. This leaves the rice alone - you will get rice - and it is a very long grain, saffroned, Basmati rice that is distinctively al dente. Not fluffy or clumpy - they are highly separated and firm rice grains, and I absolutely love it this way. This rice blows the competition far and away. If you like fries, they are good - they're the double-fried "Burger King" style and keep their heat decently well in the to-go clamshell. The sauces are quite special. I like them all. I always ask for the following on-the-side (no zig-zags for me): the white (tahini-like), the green (cilantro), the red (spicy), the orange (signature Blazin spice). There are a couple of others, but I find these 4 create a nice balance. Oh and the late-night hours secure the 5-star rating. This can feel like the perfect late-night food - thanks to the owners for accommodating the late-night fans. Quickie review notes: The burger is just okay - the patty should be bigger. The Chopped Cheese is convincing, but not the best value item, IMO. The milkshakes are very tasty!

I decided to try BC&G again. This time, my experience was better than my prior visit…read more Good customer service seems to be a staple at this location. The person who took my order was very helpful and informative. He was patient with me while I was flip-flopping between what to order. One of the other team members was also helpful with making sure everything was OK with my order. Teamwork is clearly something that is practiced at this location. I ultimately decided on the seafood platter with extra fish. I opted to replace both the fries and the salad with rice. I asked for the white sauce on the side along with hot sauce. I was pleasantly surprised. My food was good and seasoned perfectly. I will be back sooner than later to get a shrimp platter. They were the star of the show! The only recommendation I have this go around, is that the fish be fried just a little bit harder. Unfortunately, it was a little soft/soggy and not crispy. But the taste was on point. Again the shrimp were fried perfectly. As per my last visit, the restaurant was very clean. I will be back!

Flower Child

I had a surprisingly great experience at Flower Child…read more With such a wide variety of menu items, it was easy to find plenty of vegetarian options. I ordered an entrée with three sides: grilled vegetables, roasted heirloom carrots, and mac and cheese. Everything was made to order, so my meal arrived fresh and flavorful. The olive oil-roasted vegetables were simple but well seasoned and satisfying. The roasted heirloom carrots were unique as they were seasoned with za'atar and served with whipped feta, which added a delicious flavor. The mac and cheese, however, was just average. I'm not a big fan of gluten-free pasta, and I found it a bit too chewy. It also didn't absorb the cheese sauce very well, so it wasn't as creamy or flavorful as I had hoped. I also tried the draft kombucha, which was fine but nothing particularly memorable. The service was quick, even during a busy weekend lunch, and a staff member was friendly. The restaurant itself has a cute, welcoming interior with plenty of seating, so finding a table wasn't an issue. Overall, I had a really enjoyable meal and thought it was well worth the price.

Food was fine. Lines were long and there was literally nowhere to sit, the place felt tiny and crowded. There were a lot of people hanging out and not ordering or eating McDonalds hogging tables. When we approached a staff member with a complaint that we had nowhere to sit and eat our order while there were two large families eating McDonalds (one) and just waiting (the other) taking over 8 tables total they didn't do anything and we had to wait to get a tiny table with no chairs. read more

Delicious healthy eats, on the quick fast casual tip!…read more I always enjoy coming here. The food is made to order and always freshly prepared. The customer services at this location is great too. Like most of the Panera bread locations, this one is perfect for a quick lunch or casual place for telework. The food is mostly take-out and 'grab n' go style'. I have been here in both cases for lunch pickups and telework....and it serves both purpose well. There is plenty of seating and the entire space is completely wired with WiFi and electrical outlets for all your telework needs. Not to mention, the mobile ordering and app is a life saver....when making a quick run for healthy food options in between meetings or heading into work. Another pet peeve....SUPER CLEAN BATHROOMS here!! It says a lot about a restaurant. lol. From the coffee selection, to the fresh bakery-dessert items, in-house baked breads and full menu of healthy eats...including sandwiches, smoothies, salads & soups....you can't go wrong with Panera Bread. My "go-to" is normally the Bravo Turkey Bacon sandwich but.....Today I tried the new Italian steak and Mas sandwich and chicken noodle soup. Both were perfect. Steak sandwich, who's was outstanding. It was filled with juicy, tender seasoned steak, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, arugula, and an interesting aioli sauce that made the sandwich top notch. All this one a delicious, fresh ciabatta bread....there was nothing more to ask for! The sandwich is here for a limited time and a must try. Nothing but great things to say about this location. It's super clean, bright and haven't had a bad meal yet. The customer service is on point too. Definitely a thumbs up in my book and glad to have this location near the J-O-B!
