The Mac and cheese was more oily than cheesy somehow

The Mac and cheese was more oily than cheesy somehow

I got a rice bowl and it had hard old rice in it, and the meat was stiff and obviously microwaved. This place is so over priced for the low quality if food they distribute.

Only thing worth getting is the mac and cheese. Otherwise overpriced and poor quality food.

This is a super stingy place with overpriced, mediocre at best food and really, really bad customer service.I agree with the other reviewers who have spoken of their stinginess it's insane, and really reflects poorly on the business. I ordered a breakfast burrito here once, and asked if I could get it without potatoes (because they're always dry and gross) and just have egg and cheese. The guy told me they wouldn't substitute the lack of potatoes with anything extra. Seriously? Also, $2.50 for a side of avocado is ridiculous...I could buy two whole ones for that price.What really baffles me is how terrible the service is here. There is a young man, I haven't gotten his name, who regularly works the register, and is probably one of the laziest employees I have ever encountered at a food service joint. He stands behind the counter on his phone, and doesn't bother to look up or make eye contact when an order is being placed. The table where they keep the napkins, straws, hot sauce etc. is always filthy, with bits of trash and puddles of unknown liquid all over. It's gross, and would take 2 minutes to clean, but cell phone guy can't be bothered. Dude should have been let go at this point, so I'm thinking maybe he's a relative of the owners? Not sure, but this place could really use a revamp when it comes to both food quality and employee quality!
