Steph Parker: Hip is probably short for hipster, but the Crispy HipCity Ranch is delicious (and I eat meat). Pair it with a vanilla shake for an awesome lunch - but go before noon to beat the rush.
Jill R: Crispy hip city ranch is the way to go! The green smoothie is pretty good too. Oh and the brownie is also delicious.
Roberto Szafransko: The Bobby Special: crispy hip city ranch in a wrap with buffalo sauce. Don't forget to use sriracha liberally.
