Menu item review: Sad ham sandwich. Skimpy on the mustard; overall dry. Go for something different.

OMG!! The food!!! Sooooo good! Huge portions for reasonable price. The atmosphere is welcoming!! The service was cool too!! I just could not get past the food!! It was delicious!! I got this chicken salad, and I NEVER eat a leftover salad, I was still chomping on that salad later in the evening. The lettuce had gotten soggy, but that was my fault....lol Love this place!! It will definitely stay on my frequent visit list for eateries.

Needed to use the restroom while passing through. Ordered the strawberry lemonade to quench my thirst while waiting for my rideshare (which was delicious), and they refused to charge me for it! Was taken aback, as I'm not used to this. Very friendly!

The French dip was great, lots of meat, and jus was pretty good, not too salty like some places. I liked the fries, nice and crispy without being too crispy. They are shoestring and I love that kind. The sweet potato fries are also tasty, kinda crispy, which is hard to get in a sweet potato fry, so good on them. My friend had the chicken pesto salad and it looked amazing. She said it was.

Best potato chips ever!The food is very tasty, yet the parking in their downtown location is not so good. The times I have visited it's been packed, and you may need to wait for service or to get a table so it's better to order ahead, or go when you have some extra time vs. your brief lunch break. It is still worth it and highly rated. Check it out.

Ate their Lebanese Chicken Salas a week ago and I'm still thinking about it today. I've never been someone who order salad from a restaurant, but this was a game changer. First off, salad was humongous. It is $16, but you definitely get 2 meals out of it. Almost everyone around me took theirs to go. Second, I've never had salad that was so perfect with every single bite. Not sure how they chopped it, but every piece fit together perfectly on your fork so that you could get a little bit of lettuce, tomato, chicken, olives, and pita bread - every time. Speaking of the pita bread, it added the perfect crunch and flavor to the salad. Service was also on point and food came out quickly.
