Service is quick. The grab and go salads are phenomenal. Variety of beverages in their fridge, everything from juices, seltzers, protein shakes, teas low calorie options. Be sure to check out their specials and soups. Had the chicken and vegs soup because i was under the weather and it was like a home styled chicken noodle soup (without noodles). Great low calorie option. They had a special on chicken marsala and it was soooo good.
They have a large menu to chose from for different dietary needs.
Absolutely love their green smoothie and breakfast burritos!

The male owner gives the most dry attitude to you unless you are someone who comes daily and have no problem overpaying for food. I should not have to spend a load of money to be treated with respect. Even one of his own employees noticed how dry he spoke to me but the person he greeted so warmly, his tone was excited where as he made me feel like an inconvenience. Then I requested an item to be made a certain way and it was not. I have been to this establishment 5 times, I will never go there again, the ladies are nice, the gentleman is not. He made my order so incorrect this morning I didn’t even bother going back down to have it made properly. I used to tell my colleagues and others to check it out. Now I suggest leaving the building to get food. It’s sad that you can get better customer service from an establishment such as McDonalds.
