Food was good and nice atmosphere but the lady taking our order seemed like she just wanted us to leave so bad

Meh, store bought corned beef and bland rye bread on the Chief Ruben paid extra for fries and they were good fresh didn’t get a pickle. Took it to go didn’t notice the pickle was missing till I got back to the room. Cashier was friendly, got my food pretty quick.

The reason I rated it as a 4 star was due to the fact that I couldn't prepare my own salad at the salad bar. The salad was great and a good selection of toppings, however I had to wait for someone to get free to come over and make my salad. I'm not complaining about the person who fixed my salad, bless her heart, but she was elderly and could barely hold my salad plate. While fixing my plate she dropped parts of my salad all over the bar. So she had to go back and put those items back on my plate again. I should be able to go up and fix my own salad. Other restaurants offer this, why not here? Either change it or take this option away! Also, since I had to wait for someone to make my salad this cut into my lunch time so I was not able to sit down and relax. I had to rush out and take my salad to go.

We got our order to go. For my husband, he ordered a pastrami on rye, and it came with chips and a pickle spear. For me, I got the Carolina with no tomato that came with chips and a pickle spear. He got a bottled Sprite, and I got a bottled Coke. I also asked for a salted caramel brownie, which was in a glass case by where you entered the line.The order came out after we were sitting at a booth waiting for about eight to ten minutes. I used the bathroom during the wait, which required a code. I get it, you're trying to cut down on homeless people using the facilities, but this was ridiculous when I had to wait behind two people to get the code from the cashier and nearly had an accident. FYI, I'm homeless, too. I used your bathroom. If I had been embarrassed by having an accident due to my medical issues, I would have taken to every media and social media outlet I could have. Just because my husband and I didn't appear as disheveled as some, everyone deserves respect and consideration.When we got our order, the brownie we ordered and paid for wasn't in the bag. The cashier said, "Oh, you didn't get it? I thought I saw a brownie on your table." How are you going to try to accuse people of trying to get something for free that they paid for? We couldn't have gotten to the brownie unless we were somehow able to reach through glass or if we went behind the counter. So much for "customer service." Don't argue with me when we didn't get the item at all. They had brookies and cookies on the counter, not the salted caramel brownie that I asked for and paid for.While the sandwiches were okay, the lack of condiments on them made them lackluster. Condiments were on the tables but not offered in packets. Pickle spears were stale. My sandwich tasted very much like the same utensil used to spread peanut butter was used to spread the avocado spread or cut the sandwich. They also charge a 3% fee for using a card, and then they ask for a tip. We could have made better at home for over $40.This experience was awful. We won't be going back.Parking: There are parking meters all around here unless you're handicapped, which I thankfully am.

I ordered my food before the lunch rush, and waited nearly 40 minutes to get my order. By then, I had to run back to my car to get back to work (I was unable to check my order). I requested no cheese on my gluten free sandwich and a plain baked potato. Got back to my desk, and everything was covered in cheese and ham. I have dietary restrictions, so I was not able to eat my $23 meal.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, dairy free.

They took over an hour to get my coworkers food ready and when she asked about it, the lady behind the desk sassed her and was like you need to wait and then when the lady finally got her food ready, she screamed from the cashier to where we were next to poke, and then made a face and sassy shrug when she said thanks! Very rude. Lady was clearly entitled. Probably was pretty when she was younger and got all she wanted and now that she is haggard and ugly shes not liking that she no longer has pretty privilege
