Manager was yelling (not mean, just very loud) the entire time we were there. Not a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Food was as expected

Overall food is pretty good. Only complaint is the pricing. Pretty expensive for a quick lunch bite. Got two sandwiches, a flatbread pizza, a couple bearclaws, and one drink. Basically $50 bucks. Not good food to money ratio in comparison to other food places. But good for a every one in a while change to your lunch experience.

BLT with Avocado and a bowl of creamy tomato soup makes the best comfort food. We had quick and courteous employees. Our order was prepared as ordered. Thank you for making a tasty lunch. We didn't have to cook or do the dishes! That always makes a human happy.
