Mushroom soup-maybe the BEST I had ever had we all had soup and split a Coconut Shrimp dish guys had great looking milkshakes. Check under $35. Delicious and place was packed with older female gamers-playing cards, and others games about 5 tables. I want to go back and join. Free speciality iced coffee drink on Mondays.
Interesting place - it's like a cross between a fast casual and family restaurant. I had the pesto chicken sandwich - it was just ok, flatbread was odd and chicken kept falling out. Tomato hadn't been cored and the center was crunchy. I also felt it was overpriced. My companion got the chicken strips meal which comes with two sides, and then upgraded to a meal with soup and drink. That was the way to go; big crock of soup (creamy chicken rice, which was good), good portions of sides and chicken fingers. We probably could have split it, leftovers were taken home.
Oddly, my food came out about 10 minutes before my companion (not even their soup came out when I got my sandwich). So I was completely done eating before they got their food (otherwise my sandwich would have been rather cold). I would definitely go back if I'm in the area again, I would just order something else.
The restaurant was clean, but showing some wear. Particularly the booth seating has noticeably worn benches.
Parking: It was hard to find a parking spot, right around noon on a weekday.

Every time I go there the foods different. Never again.
Food is not worth the money, sorry ?
The kiosk is a negative and the energy is stale.

Service was quick, space is clean and well maintained. Have dined here twice in the last month, both delicious meals. Patty Melt in my first visit, Meat Lovers Pizza for the second.
Looking forward to trying their Sunday Breakfast buffet.

First time in the store today. The lobby is rather spacious and it takes a minute for a first-timer to catch on to the idea that this is a fancy cafeteria and you have to go to the register to place an order (we saw no signage telling us that, at least). Nobody comes to seat you, and after a while of standing there awkwardly looking around, a first-timer can figure it out (and they had better be able to, because there is no signage and bloody nobody comes to help). My party knew that this was half-price pizza day, as we had seen it on the reader board outside. There was NO SIGNAGE inside the restaurant indicating that it was half-price pizza day, but we were told that we were right when we asked about it. We elected to order for take-out and paid at the register. We were not given a receipt (or a paging puck, which I assume is for inside diners only). After standing around awkwardly for a few minutes, I asked the cashier if this was where we were supposed to be waiting and was told that, no, we were supposed to go down this pathway and there were seats there where we could wait. We did that, and would have earlier if we had been told. And wait we did. It takes time to make a pizza from scratch, after all. The food, by the way, was quite tasty, but nothing to write home about.
What confuses me is all the reviews that rave about the service: There is no service. Dine-in customers are given a paging puck and when it goes off, the customer themselves have to go to the kitchen window to fetch their food. Well, I guess that is service of a sort, so I assume that people are saying that they like themselves. Take-out customers are directed sit on not very comfy wooden chairs and wait until our food is done. As we like ourselves, I suppose the service is fine (but my server was getting kind of snippy, not knowing what was going on and not having been told or having any signage to read. 'Figure it out yourself' is a great business model for an escape room, but not so much for a restaurant).
Finally, and in retrospect, I find it mildly offensive that the cashiers have to have a tip jar at the register. I pay less (looking at the prices on the regular menu) for similar quality food in restaurants that actually DO have service. Pass that savings on to the employees.

Staff was friendly and atmosphere was nice and clean. Food was disappointing though, seemed low quality. The side of corn that came with the pot roast had no flavor, same with the Mac and cheese. The macaroni was a little watery with seemingly a mystery yellow sauce, maybe not real cheese based on the lack of flavor. Also ordered a smoothie. Had a very artificial and overly sweet flavor, no real fruit or yogurt or anything. My daughter commented that her ham egg and cheese had a funny taste and the egg seemed different.

I've grown to like quite a few dishes from this place, the Beer battered cod being my favorite. Service is always great! Friendly staff! But...I feel depending on what you order really DEPENDS on the "who's in the kitchen" especially when it comes to the fried foods (i.e. fries, onion rings, breaded mushrooms, etc)...On many occasions, I've received OVER-COOKED onion rings and mushrooms were I have been left disappointed. Fries I just ordered were obviously cooked in too much cooking oil were it had more of a crunchy texture. I don't wanna "see" the cooking oil soaked into my fries. Onion rings seem to always be hard and over-cooked when we order them. Breaded Mushrooms have been over-cooked and burnt the last 2-3 times that we've ordered them. These are just some my biggest negatives when it comes to the food quality of some of the menu items. But again, I just feel this specifically comes down to the inconsistency with certain cooks.
