My food came out fast within about 10 minutes which was perfect for a workday lunch. I was warned it was a messy dish and took that as a challenge and challenge accepted. It was definitely messy but absolutely worth it. So cheesy, flavorful and filling. Easily one of the best fast food style replica dishes I've had. No shade to Taco Bell but this version is on a whole different level with better tasting ingredients and way more flavor. Taco Bell should be getting their recipe for their Crunchwrap and make changes to their menu to match this one. So so damn good! All that and it's just under $8. Quick affordable and incredibly satisfying. If you're in Somerset this Crunchwrap is a must try, but regardless check out serendipity, you won't be disappointed.

The Onion burger and the Kegler burgers far make up for the deficient wings. a good place for groups, as they have food service with some game options. All in all a pretty good place.

Instead, our food was served in to-go containers. Not a big deal, but just not what we were expecting. After we ordered we had to sit at a dirty table, because despite there being 5 empty tables, none of them had been wiped down. There were no staff besides the one taking orders at the counter who was busy doing that so there wasn't really anyone to notify. I ordered the burrito bowl, which had obviously been pre-made and sat in the fridge until I ordered. The quinoa was in solid balls clumped together and hard, and the avocado was nearly black. The chicken and dressing were really good though! My husband for the salmon and broccoli and said it was very good. Ambiance was nice, pretty restaurant with good vibes, but based off our experience, I'd be somewhat hesitant to recommend to others.
