Okay, this review is about 5 months late as we came here on an early Saturday morning on our way to a nearby errand. So definitely a review of our experience, but anything could have changed in this timeframe.
The place is pretty large and they seem to seat in sections. To the left of the entrance was a small section on the way to the hallway with the restrooms and it was completely packed. We were sat to the right in a large center area where only another couple of parties were. This area was very open and had large windows as well as a direct view into the kitchen. Continuing on there was a semi separated section that had a couple of tables sat, but I couldn't tell how large it was. Everything from my view seemed pretty clean.
The menu is one double sided page but covers all the basics for both breakfast and lunch options. At the time of our visit they told us they were serving the entire menu, so we were able to get lunch options despite the early hour.
The server that helped us was very sweet and attentive. The wait was semi long, but reasonable considering they were maybe half full, the size of the staff and that the food was pretty good overall.
My husband ordered the berry avocado salad for $10.99. You can add chicken for an extra $2.49. The ingredients seemed to be good quality. He actually thought the salad was refreshing, unfortunately it was not very big or filling for the price. I did agree that the portion seemed small for a salad, my meal was cheaper but was actually a pretty big portion.
I ordered the chicken salad sandwich for $9.79 which comes with one side and a pickle. You can get chips or fries with it, or you can pay an extra couple of dollars to upgrade to fruit or a side salad. I did find it nearly impossible to eat because the sandwich was overstuffed and messy, a fork was necessary. I would have preferred they put half as much on and knock $1 off the price, but if you can unhinge your jaw you may prefer this portion.
In all honestly, if the menu had listed the ingredients I probably would've ordered something different as the flavors just didn't work for me. The menu says it's famous so I'm sure some out there will like it. On the upside the veggies and wheat bread seemed fresh and the battered fries were hot and crispy.
If we found ourselves in the area I wouldn't be opposed to trying them again. We both liked that they were open earlier than a lot of other places on this route before 8am on a Saturday, but we would both try something completely different.
While the experience was a 3.5 for us, the friendly service and quality of ingredients bumped it up instead of down. I didn't find the food as satisfying as I would expect for the price, but I have been very forgiving of prices in the last year or so between supply chain disruptions impacting overall costs and businesses needing to bounce back however owners deem necessary. The quality of the ingredients make me sure we would find something we would like more if we choose more carefully next time. read more
