Twisted BLT was ok. Not nought bacon but the mayo gave it taste. Too much lettuce for me. The fries were really good though. Not impressed for the amount you pay. Also THEY ADD A 5% FEE to your order whether you like it or not. Sorry. No tip when you slip that in.

This used to be one of my favorite spots back in 2012, the food was amazing, the atmosphere clean, and the service great.

I’ve given it several chances recently, but each visit has been disappointing. The food is oversalted, overseasoned, and oversauced (and I love sauce). Service was polite. Outdoor tables were dirty, we had to bus them ourselves, and the benches/cushions were covered in tree debris and grease stains.

I’m genuinely disappointed....
