“I was a little disappointed today when I picked up my order. I ordered the pick 2. I got the broccoli cheddar soup and the green goddess salad. The green goddess dressing barely wet the salad and my bread was so tiny. I was so sad, it wasn’t enough to eat with my soup. ?“

“Pros: some of the best current IPAs per the Texas Brewers Guild, among in-fashion styles, e.g., hazy IPAs. Food was generally solid, but the ordering strategy was weirdly unpleasant. Cons: above-average price point for Temple; the goal is obviously to minimize staff (self-service kiosks), but the staff then didn't know what they were doing.Parking: Free on the street, but not many spaces.Kid-friendliness: Loved it. And you can always grab more without much of a kiosk line.“
