The women working behind the counter were well synchronized and helped each other (taking orders, preparing orders, stocking cooler shelves and cashier). The ambiance was cafe like with basic tables and chairs. I ate here 5 times (3 breakfasts and 2 lunches) in 3 days! Orders: - Hard boiled eggs - easy to peel and perfectly cooked - Breakfast plate - perfectly cooked and a big portion - Turkey burger - nicely prepared served with mayo, lettuce and tomato - Turkey sandwich - fresh moist roasted turkey served on multi-grain bread with mayo, lettuce and tomato. The turkey sandwich was one of the best that I have had. Fresh and simple.

I had heard a lot about this place, so I decided to give it a chance. To my pleasant surprise, the…read moresandwich I ordered was honestly the best sandwich I've ever had. The smoothie, on the other hand, was just okay. As far as the atmosphere, cleanliness, and customer service, the experience was great overall. The ladies working in the prep area were amazing. They were friendly, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable. Their attitude and customer service are a big part of what makes this business stand out and bringing high reviews. However, I did feel that the leadership at the front counter could have been more welcoming. It appeared that a father and son were working together, and the younger gentleman, in particular, could improve on being more friendly and approachable with customers. My honest opinion is that the employees preparing the food and working behind the scenes deserve a lot of recognition. They are the ones who create a welcoming experience and help build the reputation of the business. Without their hard work and positive attitudes, I don't think this place would receive the same level of praise or reputation. I would definitely consider coming back because of the quality of the sandwich and the kindness of the prep staff. I would simply encourage the leadership team to be more welcoming and mindful that customers come from many different backgrounds and cultures. Treating everyone with the same respect, dignity and warmth can make a big difference.

Full disclosure, I was getting my hair done nearby, and placed an online order because I was starving, and wanted a quick hearty bite during my deep conditioner hair treatment. I ordered a double cheeseburger (almost the same price as a regular cheeseburger), and a turkey burger for later. Also I ordered of regular fries, and sweet potato fries for my friend. I specified that they place their 'basic sauce' on the side, but they did not provide the sauce at all. And barely enough ketchup packets for my order. The burgers were both pretty good. The fries were tasty too. However, for the price, the place isn't all that. If you happen to be in the area, and you're in the mood for a burger, this place is good, but you can definitely find a better meal for much cheaper. I recommend, but only if you truly wanting a burger. They also offer veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches (grilled, fried, or other flavors), beyond (meat) burgers, fried fish sandwiches, and hot dogs.

I would definitely come back.

Twas messy. It's nice that it comes with fries. I got the mushroom burger. Firstly, i guess Gordon Ramsay and i have different definitions of smash burger. This was pretty thick still. And there were a few gristly spots. Like so hard and gross and needed to be spit out. It was also such a mess upon delivery and wet all over the outside from what i couldn't entirely determine to be cheese, or mayo. We were surprised that it arrived looking such a sloppy mess. Midway though after the second gristly bit i was done, closed the box, and we didn't talk about it for at least a day. The pro- 19 dollars for a burger with fries- not so bad. I'd never go back though.

The kids ordered cheese pizza (it was decent but it's suspiciously like frozen pizza's you buy in the grocery store) and butter pasta (it was not loved).
