    Garden Avo
    B A.

    Just wow. The food was inedible. I ordered the avocado toast and it was absolutely disgusting. The tomatoes had no flavor at all and the avocados had an incredibly rubbery texture and didn't even taste like real food. I also opened the box and this is how it was prepared. Good grief.

    Mostly bread

    Nice place and nice people. I didn't use the bathroom but it appeared clean. Absurdly overpriced. A 5 oz half sandwich for over $8. The soup was good, but again, absurdly overpriced. I could commiserate that the destruction of fast food is because of the rise in the minimum wage, but for $7.50 I can buy a double burger at Five Guys or Nancy's both with three times the lettuce, onions, and tomatoes--not to mention protein. For another buck I can get a Garg which is the king of all sandwiches. Still, it's a great environment for meeting and having conversations, so that might be what is included in the price. I probably shouldn't harp on price, but I guess that's my review of the place. Nice and overpriced for Salem.

    Plastic in my sandwich.

    Worst panera I've ever visited. Unfortunately this is the only one close to my work, and my five trips have all been awful.

    Great bread, huge selection, several soups, good pastries. Yes, it is a franchise, but above average for ingredients and selections.

    My husband treated me to the best Valentine's Day meal i could have asked for at Whuttle's BBQ in…read morethe Lancaster Drive Walmart Supercenter in Salem. I'm Southern and I've eaten a lot...a LOT... of BBQ, from home cooked at my family meals and events, at roadside stands, food trucks, mom-and-pop joints, and nice sit-down restaurants. As part of my work as a corporate trainer, driving all over the South and Midwest was my daily commute, but BBQ was my daily off-work mission. I've eaten a LOT of BBQ! Whuttle's BBQ is not Southern quality, it is HIGH Southern quality. I wasn't very hungry when we went out tonight so I just ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich. My husband ordered the same plus the mac-n-cheese and we both had Whuttle's own fruit punch. I took a bite of the husband's mac-n-cheese to sample it...before he threatened me with the loss of a hand if I ate any more...and it was, to make it simple, the best mac-n-cheese I've ever had, and I've eaten a good bit of that around the country, also. The chicken was moist and tender with a perfect smoky aroma and flavor. Their BBQ sauce was just right and the sandwich had just the right amount - a flavor boost for the perfect chicken but not overpowering nor was the sandwich swimming in it. Just right. The bun was fresh and soft and was ideal. That fruit punch was so good I could have drank a gallon. It made the sandwich a perfect match. I realize I keep using the word 'perfect' in this review. That's not an accident. On top of the wonderful food and drink and speedy service was the Down Home friendliness of the folks there. We learned that the inspiration comes from their Arkansas roots and among great Southern BBQ, the BBQ I've had in Arkansas stood out from the rest, and honestly Whuttle's would make even great Arkansas BBQ seem average by comparison. It really is that good. We live just a mile or so away so we'll be regulars now. If you like BBQ and you really like great BBQ, you're missing out until you eat here.

    It was Valentine's Day and my husband and I had been craving BBQ from a while. Our luck with BBQ…read morehas been sub par at best. The last thing we needed to hear was that Whuttle's like their competitors were out of BBQ. Luckily for us Whuttle's far exceeded our expectations. Words can't even begin to describe how wonderful Whuttle's is. The dining area isn't overly decorated except for these two murals that are beautiful and adds charm to the restaurant. Upon arrival the staff was very friendly. We were asked if this had been our first time. Since it was the wonderful woman took the time to explain the menu. Honestly everything sounded delicious. My husband and I both had the BBQ chicken sandwich, Whuttle's fruit punch and a side of their Mac and Cheese. In no time we received our fruit punch which was brought to us with a warm smile, and then the food a few minutes later. Starting with the sandwich and after the first bite I was astonished. The sauce was flavorful and perfectly coated the chicken which was juicy and tender, but not overly so that the bun was soggy. Before I knew it my sandwich was gone. The Mac and cheese was also perfect in taste. It definitely wasn't your standard box Mac and cheese. It was seasoned and had no artificial flavor taste that box Mac and cheese has so I'm grateful that boxed man and cheese is not in their kitchen. My husband suspects it's seasoned with thyme which definitely gives it such a delicious flavor. All this amazing food was washed down with their Whuttle's fruit punch which I have no words to describe how delicious it is, and best of all the had a little bit of ice so you get more drink than ice. Best of all when we finished our meal a nice woman whom I can assume is the owner asked us how the food was. My husband is from Georgia so he and the owner had a lovely conversation. We both mentioned the food was immaculate. Considering my husband was raised In the south he has high expectations for BBQ. Overall Whuttle's BBQ is the quintessential BBQ restaurant. I couldn't think of any negative even if I tried. My husband and I will be coming back considering it's just right around the corner from us.

That would've been fine except I could clearly see bread sitting on the rack behind them. As I'm walking out, I literally watch an employee grab that same "nonexistent" bread and make himself a sandwich. So apparently they're not out of bread, they just didn't feel like serving customers and now I'm pissed lol. I ended up ordering through the app anyway, and surprise, they suddenly had bread. This wasn't a mistake, it was straight up dishonest and unprofessional. If you're going to refuse service, at least be honest about it.

    The Philly Cheesesteak was prepared perfectly. Perfect! And there was no wait…read more No ketchup to be had in the store, though. Seems insane. Why would you sell a traditional Philly Cheesesteak and not have ketchup on hand? I'm not talking about the Chicken Cheesesteak, I'm talking about the original Philly Cheesesteak served with beef, cheese, peppers, onions and garnished with KETCHUP. How can you not have ketchup and sell cheesesteaks? It's analogous to ordering pancakes at a pancake house chain and then being told that they don't offer syrup at that restaurant. That would be crazy, wouldn't it? Fortunately, we had some extra packets of ketchup in the car, left over from the last big food run to McDonald's. Really, though, this location needs to get on top of that whole ketchup issue ASAP. The review should have been 5 stars because the cheesesteak was perfect.
