This may be my new favorite restaurant! First let's talk about the restaurant (and store) itself, then the staff, and then we'll get to the best part... the food!
I had been thinking about trying this place for a few weeks, and when I went to their website, I found out they had an app. So I downloaded it and looked through their menu. I am fasting and was going to break my fast when the sun went down. So after work, I ordered through the app and headed down to get my order.
The restaurant is more like a diner or corner bistro, and it also has both refrigerator and shelf sections, like a small store, so you can hop in there and buy whatever you want to eat, buy things for eating at home or ingredients that may help you prepare your own low-carb/keto meals at home. All their items are made in-house, so you know you are getting quality! They also have a chef on-site to prepare any hot meals you order through the app or order in-person.
They cater to those who are on the Keto, Paleo, and Low-Carb diets, as well as those with Type 2 Diabetes. Any food you order will be under 10 net carbs (net carbs are total carbs minus the insoluble fiber). There is nothing on the menu that will spike your blood-sugar! Even the candy treats are low-carb and sugar-free!
The restaurant and store itself are very clean! That is a huge plus in my book! Nobody wants to eat at a place where the dining area or the kitchen is dirty. The staff is super friendly and welcoming! They are helpful and want you to enjoy your experience there. They give you recommendations if you are unsure of what to order. You can tell that it is a great place to work!
Now let's talk about the food! When you order a sandwich or burger or other entrée item, you get an included side. And it's not the usual inexpensive "French fries" or "potato chips" that you get at other restaurants. No, no, no! For NO additional charge, you can pick from one of the following amazing sides: Keto Fries, Coleslaw, Low-Carb Mac & Cheese, Broccoli Salad, Country Green Beans, Fried Brussel Sprouts, Cauliflower Rice (Cilantro Lime, Spanish, or Plain), Salad (with either Ranch, Bleu Cheese, or Basil Vinaigrette dressing), or a Cup of Soup (Broccoli Cheese or Soup Du Jour).
I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger with Fried Brussel Sprouts as my side, and additionally a cup of Broccoli Cheddar soup. Everything was made fresh on the spot for me (the soup is made fresh daily, at the start of the day). The burger was delicious! Completely filling and very tasty! I was also impressed with the low-carb bun! Whenever I've made low-carb bread, it's always been hit or miss. Sometimes breads can be either grainy or way to heavy and feel like a brick in your stomach. But this bun was tasty and had the perfect texture! The Fried Brussel Sprouts were delish and I would definitely get them again! It's hard to decide, but I think my favorite thing of all was the Broccoli Cheddar Soup! It is far better than the pre-made frozen soups that Panera Bread heats up for their customers! This soup was rich, thick, and totally low-carb! They also gave me a free sample of their low-carb Buckeye candies, and it tasted even better than the sugary options found everywhere!
Even if you are not on a Keto, Paleo, or Low-Carb diet, you should still check this restaurant out because their food is fantastic and healthy! This is what "fast food" (or diner/bistro food) should be in America! So much healthier, tastier, and fresh than any conventional or chain restaurant around here! read more
