I tried the potato salad, macaroni salad, plain black beans, and ham chunks and then at the end there was a sign that said salad toppers (chicken, tuna, and avocado), found out they were $2 each and not worth it, plus there was no sign saying they were $2. I bought the tuna and avocado. I also bought the soup package (which was extra). The total came to $22. The leaf lettuce was good as well as the other add ons. The dressings were also varied. I didn’t like the macaroni, potato, and pasta salad. I also bought the soup, which was chili and potato and bacon. Both good. And then you were allowed 1 bakery item. My total came to $22 and they anted a tip (it’s all self serve). I’ve been wanting to go there for some time, but I must say I was disappointed and will not be going back.
If I had any advice I’d get new recipes for the potato, macaroni, and pasta salads and perhaps have a tuna macaroni salad and a 3 bean salad.
So the owner thinks I was brutal in my review, but when I spend $22 for a lunch that I didn’t like. I’m glad most people like your food, maybe I have different standards. As a business owner, you shouldn’t get your feelings so easily hurt, it’s constructive criticism.

So $13 for AYCE salad, 2/$2 add ons, water and soup =$22. Not worth it in my opinion.

Average salad bar but expensive. Would reconsidering it next time. Owner seems not friendly either.

Food quality was OK for the BLT. They have too much seating for the space, as you definitely have to squeeze by people if it’s full. Other than that, staff is very friendly and helpful place was clean, but there’s no restrooms for guests.

Love stopping by when I’m in the area. The food is always fresh and good, it’s always clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. It can get packed in there if you dine in, but there’s couple tables outside that help.

Wish there serving spoons for salads were a bit deeper, you can hardly get anything in a scoop….

The salad bar is good, my mom had that, but my sandwich came with the cheep, almost see through turkey, same thickness bacon (that was stiff), 3 small slices of tomato and puffy raw looking chibatta that was as thick or thicker than a burger bun. It had no flavor and was soggy from being in the refrigerator all day. When making the purchase, the cashier (there is no table service at all) sneered at me for no tip (I was planning on a cash tip at the table if the food was good). All he was doing was ringing people up. Then 20 minutes later, after my mother was almost done. I reminded him about my sandwich and a nice lady brought it to me. She also brought the mayo and mustard packets after I asked (her the first time, but I told him at the time of purchase). Then I had to call her back over with scissors because the mayo would not open. I ripped it where it said to and it was sealed below the perforated strip. All in all a miserable meal for me and I will not be returning.
