I enjoyed the beef and cheese and the Raleigh which is bbq pork.
They were very good! Hubby liked the Havana and Cuban but not the chicken and cheese.
I reheated them in my air fryer.
The girl working the counter today was very sweet, friendly and helpful! 2/15/24

We went today for a late lunch and 4 of the items they did not have and they had no drinks. Even though a drink comes with the combo, they said you can go across the street and get a drink at the store. And btw it is a 20 minute wait. Now they only had 2 couples ahead of us. Really. I have been here so many times and not had such a poor experience.
