The only reason I gave 3 stars was because of the the poor over worked kid that finally brought our food out to us. He was amazing. I just wish I knew his name so I could give him the proper praise. I waited for about 15 mins when someone finally came out, he asked our name and said he would be right back. HE NEVER CAME BACK. Called. They said it will be right out. There were 2 other cars waiting also that came after we did. They waited and waited. One called. Poor sweet kid came out. She got nasty with him. And I could see the terror on his face when he thought I was gonna yell at him too. They he relaxed when he saw I wasn't. Was very apologetic for the long wait and got my order for me. From the time I checked in to the time I got my food was 1 hr.
The service was great, no points off there. But when I got on the road and opened the food what was that little tiny baby sandwich? I was so confused. I got the southwestern chicken or something that looked like their most hefty sandwich by the ingredients. It was this little baby sandwich with tiny ingredients inside the entire thing was bread. I hate it in two bites and was starving afterwards. I expected sandwiches packed with meats and cheese, fresh greens, sauce, thick with ingredients and sharp flavors. I hand been since college and it is not the same at all. Also the menu shows soft drinks being $1.40 and when I ordered one it was $3+ on the bill. Not what I agreed too and almost as much as movie theater soda. At least that was large though unlike the sandwich.
The customer service was awesome and it wasn't overly crowded so you could sit and eat comfortably. My food was great! I had the Green Goddess Cobb Salad and half a Chicken salad sandwich. My friend wasn't as fortunate. Her baked potato was cold and old with the wrong toppings. They did remake the meal but the salad was wrong. However, the manager was awesome and removed that meal and did offer another one. Overall it was okay.
