Reviews
My other favorite food is their Chalavi Mac& cheese. There is also another type of Mac& cheese called Main Mac & cheese, with a red sauce and cheese. The chalavi Mac& cheese is drowning in a cheese sauce, in a good way. It’s amazing.
Another really good thing is their cheddar fries, although again, I like it only fresh.
An important thing to realize- they sometimes close at 7 and sometimes 7:30- no way to find out except calling- and they stop allowing dine in exactly 30 min prior. Even if you were standing at counter at 6:30 about to order… So safest to call ahead if you plan anything for 6 or later so you know what to expect.
Other than that issue , pretty good overall.
When I complimented the cook (sweetheart) he seemed prouder of the fries than the pizza lol
Salads are fresh with plentiful options starting with choices of spinach, kale, romaine. Try their milkshakes.
The fries portion is generous: get one and share it easily amongst 2.
You don’t go here for ambiance, the staff are bored but friendly- you go here to leave with a happy kosher tummy and to take some cute pics of the fam.
Salad is great, fries are ok.
Pizza is edible if you’ve never been anywhere else, the sauce and cheese are good, the crust is not. It feels and tastes and looks like a pre-baked cracker sold in the supermarkets, it’s thick, hard, and dry.
I hope this was only due to being the day after Passover, no real crust. I’ll have to try again some other time and see if the crust is real.
Now for the positive part, the place is large and spacious, pretty clean, large well lit restrooms, lotsa counter space for the salad bar, parking lot with a pull through area for curbside order/pickup, outdoor seating for the nice days.
Prices are reasonable.
