The beef was overcooked and the veggies (mostly peppers) were undercooked.

We ordered the fried chicken and fries, along with a crispy shrimp burrito, and it was a regrettable decision.The fried chicken and fries tasted old, as if they had been sitting around for far too long. The crispy shrimp burrito was equally disappointing, lacking the promised contents and leaving us with a barely edible meal. It was not just bad; it was downright disgusting.Adding to the frustration, attempts to address our concerns were met with frustration as there is no reachable phone number. Instead, all calls lead to a voicemail abyss, leaving us without any recourse for expressing our dissatisfaction.I strongly advise potential patrons to steer clear of “Assembly.” The dismal food quality, coupled with the lack of customer support, makes it an establishment to avoid. Save yourself the disappointment, and look elsewhere for a satisfying dining experience. We certainly won’t be returning, and I encourage others to heed this warning.

Can order from QR codes or server from several outlets, which is so much better than waiting in lines and counter service. Have been a couple times and all of the food I have had is good. Check hours, as it's not always open when you would assume, or all venues are not available. Pic below is from brunch, the breakfast burrito and tots were a perfect combo. It's always shockingly empty when I have been in here, but maybe during off peak times. There's some great outdoor seating as well. My only wish would be they had some stairs to get there so we could bring our dog. Keep up the great work.

This is a cool spot where you can order from any of the vendors. The rooftop deck is nice. read more This is a cool spot where you can order from any of the vendors. The rooftop deck is nice.

Both dishes were tasty, but the seafood in my mac and cheese was a bit cold. The server was friendly and accommodating.
