My friends had already been to this new eatery so we chose it for a small luncheon reunion as such. When we entered you go to the right and can peruse an extensive paper menu of sandwich selections and sides. You pass a grab n go case just before you order.
Deciding what to order takes lots of time as there are many options and frankly, they all look good. My friends had liked their previous choices so it seemed I couldnt really go wrong.
Total for a child's order with juice, and 2 adult orders with side and a drink for each came to only $31.
Drinks are serve yourself and there is a lot to choose from. I had my favorite unsweet iced tea and it was nicely brewed.
The chicken salad was fresh and tasty. The soup was just hot enough to enjoy. The mac n cheese was a bit gloppy like when it has been reheated, but the fruit was fresh and tasty.
There were six of us and we had a little trouble knitting together several tables and getting chairs from the other side of the dining area. It all worked out but this place is probably not the best choice for a larger party than 4 or so. I put coats on chairs to hold some space for us because I could clearly see we would have no seating option if we waited until we had ordered. When we have no coats, like in summer time I may have to be a more creative table saver.
When you order you get a number and your order is brought to you, but you bus your own table when you finish. You can request a to go container for leftovers.
There are many things on this menu I hope to try. The egg salad, despite having sweet pickle, and the pimento cheese offerings seem excellent choices for meatless meals like during Lent.
I did not give 5 stars because of the seating issue, and the gloppy mac n cheese, but on another visit when there are fewer of us it might not be an issue.
The crowd was diverse from men in safety vests to more elderly women who have let their hair go natural, ie in their 80's, dining in another large group of cobbled together tables. A few families with kids, mixed ethnicities it looked like a nice cross section of Americana at noon on a Wednesday. Seems everyone loves chicken salad! This may foretell a new era in American eateries!
