I had a pick two for $10.75 -- with half a QC Club and the soup of the day, Zuppa Toscana. It was delightful! Clean plate club. Pricing is on point. The staff was insanely friendly and despite being jam packed, the food came out promptly. The menu features sandwiches, hot dogs, salads and soups. As well as a few typical sides (pasta salad, potato salad, coleslaw, etc) and some homemade desserts-- the fruit crisp sounds like a winner to me.
