    Stay away from this place! Tried the caprese & the melt sandwiches, both tasted terrible. Chicken enchilada soup is a joke & tasted disgusting. Beef chili was almost okay.

    I want to love this place but the service is so slow, and unappreciative, it makes me feel like I should be spending my money elsewhere

    Waited over 35 minutes for the traditional grilled cheese. Its cheese and bread- not exactly rocket science. Management is completely disorganized.
