Good food and good value, there is always something interesting to eat. A coat of paint wouldn't hurt, and the staff should empty the garbage once in a while

My sister and I came here for lunch after a winter hike, it was a delicious way to warm up from the cold. Orders are placed at the cash register, you seat yourself then food is brought to your table. If you come during peak times it can be busy and seating can be full. The food was fresh, tasty and delicious. We each had a soup, I had a grilled cheese then we shared the dill pickle fries. There are gluten free options which is amazing as my sister has an intolerance. The staff is polite and attentive to what you need, and very friendly.
The music was 10/10, this may be to my own personal liking. There was an R&B vibes playlist playing and I was humming along to every song, think frank ocean and HER.

Recommended dishes: Sandwich, Bangkok Fries and Soup, Potato Leek
I recommend the Locke St location which is excellent. But I just had delivery from either the King W or Dundas one that was brutal. Tortellini soup had like 3 Tortellinis and the burgers had clearly been pre cooked but not reheated tastied like cold grease and the cheese was not even remotely melted and still cold. Anyway the Locke location is awesome but wont do delivery again in case the delivery service goes to another location.
My girlfriend and I went here last night for our anniversary, and it was really nice! I got the garlic potato leek soup with a bun, and a tomato pesto grilled cheese. She got a regular portion of bangkok fries and a caramelized onion grilled cheese.
The soup was incredibly garlicky which was nice! The bun was soft and tender, it came with some butter on the side. The tomato pesto grilled cheese was nice, I wish the pesto was a bit more flavourful but it was otherwise tasty.
My girlfriend has not stopped talking about her caramelized onion grilled cheese. She absolutely loved it, to the point where I'm a little jealous I didn't get one! She also liked the bangkok fries, but found the peanuts to just get overwhelming as she ate.
Overall it was really nice, staff was kind and the atmosphere was great.

I ordered the chicken and provolone sandwhich with the tomato tortellini soup. The sandwich was ok and did feel expensive for the price and size. The soup was better than the sandwich, however it was quite greasy and overwhelming to finish.

Nice comforting meal as the weather gets colder. Nice big sandwiches and healthy soup portions. Love how u can just get a half sandwich if you want. I had the tomato tortellini soup and the Cuban, both of which I would get again!
Decently priced. Going here now made me kinda sad I never hit it up in undergrad.
They sell a terrific soup but then, they give you a plastic spoon for dining in. Such a fine soup deserves silverware.
I recommend the place but bring your own re-useable spoon.

Food is really good and generous size. We had the cheese and sautéed onions sandwich for $8.00 and homemade fries. I believe they were $6.00. Large bag of fries. We honestly could have just shared.
We came around 2pm and the place was empty at this time. I am assuming after (possibly) a lunch rush hour? Tables were dirty and bathroom messy inside.
Not greeted when we came inside as staff were chatting at the side. We stood for a bit prior to being served.
Mixed opinion as food was good, just not great atmosphere at the time we stopped by.
With the reviews I read….could just be bad timing in our part?
Still giving four as the food was really good….

The soup is always delicious. Butternut Squash Bisque is perfect for fall.

The soups are to die for, the food is always fresh! The staff clearly works hard to fill orders and are busy. Sometimes I do feel restaurants are prioritizing online orders much more heavily than a walk-in customer. Being acknowledged/greeted upon walking in goes a long way.
