However, last night was my first experience dining in for a meal. First off, they are consistently under-staffed at the counter—it’s an ongoing issue. On a positive note, the food was well-prepared and served quickly. I ordered the Vermont Turkey sandwich, which was a bit on the pricey side at $14.50, but I have to say it was quite tasty. I also got a cup of soup for $6. Let me emphasize—just a cup! I think that's a bit outrageous, and it was my oversight for not checking the price beforehand. So, if you're willing to treat yourself, the quality and speed of the food make it worthwhile. However, if you're watching your budget, I would suggest skipping the soup.

My husband and I visit this restaurant frequently. I've never had a bad meal here, and the staff are consistently wonderful. I highly recommend you try everything on the menu. Just so you know, the portions are enormous—each one is about the size of a person's head! Lol.

This was Saturday afternoon though. Overall the experience was good. I met with a group of friends here, we were able to sit together, talk, and were not bothered. A great experience and the food was good.
