First time here, wasn't sure what to expect. It was a Sunday afternoon and they had live music…read moreplaying. Live music is available Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We had our 5 year old granddaughter with us that day. Both my husband and I ordered prime rib sliders with seasoned fries. Fries had a unique taste, a tiny bit spicy. I was surprised by the taste because usually when places say seasoned they usually mean salt and pepper. My granddaughter got the kids burger with fries and orange juice. We also ordered some pretzel bites as an appetizer. About 20 minutes later our appetizer finally arrives, and so did the appetizer of the couple next to us that arrived and ordered about 15 minutes after us. About 20 minutes later our food still had not arrived but the couple next to us had already received their food. Finally our server comes to check on us and noticed we still hadn't gotten our food and went to check on it. About 5-10 minutes later my husband and my food finally showed up.. the couple next to us had already finished by then. They brought out our food but not my granddaughters. Who brings out food for the adults before the kids? So she had to sit another 10 minutes before her food was brought out. She did say they were really good but her fries were too spicy for her so they brought some out with no seasoning. Our prime rib sliders were also very good. The manager came out and apologized to us and comped the kids meal. Only problem now was, I was going to use a coupon code for 25.00 off 50.00. With the kids meal taken off our total was just under 50.00 by about 20 cents. I definitely wasn't prepared to pay 50.00 for our lunch. We'll give them another chance as the place was pretty cool. Try it on a Friday or Saturday night to listen to the live music.

This location needs some fine tuning, but I've still received a good product overall. At the beginning when you order, we ordered (3) bowls. All substituting kale instead of spinach. It seems this information is recorded, but for all (3) bowls the employee started with spinach/ mixed greens. I caught it fairly early thankfully, but we asked 2-3 times for kale. They fixed it for 2/3. An additional time, I was not offered the option to mix my bowl, so when I got home, I had to dirty a bowl to mix the salad. I hadn't experienced this before at a Mad Greens, so I didn't catch it in the store. Small things, but things that alter the experience over time. Still great food and friendly people :-)

Food was good, although it seemed like they gave me the smallest piece and the only reason I didn't take a picture was because they gave a decent amount of mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese, and it was cooked medium like I asked.

I looked at the muffin and there was a piece sticking out so I pulled it out and was deterred in eating the muffin. Today is my birthday so it's obnoxious I wasted it here. I noticed the price on the entree meal went up from like 15 to 18, so that's dumb too - not worth it. Why do I come back?

My review is changing due to the fact that the past 2 times I've gone here, the people who have made my BLT put onions on it. Who puts onions in a BLT? It's not called a BLTO. And the bread has changed drastically. It's not the crispy tasty bread it used to be. It's more soggy and chewy like it's undercooked. Went there this past Saturday and only ate half of the medium sandwich I ordered. I regret eating that much because a few hours later I was vomiting what I ate out. The produce is probably what caused it. The lettuce was wilted, the tomatoes were soggy and the onions that were pretty much on the entire thing were stringy and slimy. Spent $38 for 2 sandwiches and a potato salad and ended up wasting half of it because it was bad. The change of ownership made this place go downhill, I probably will not go back due to the last 2 bad experiences I've had here in the past 4 months. read more
