   My chopped salad was made with Iceberg lettuce. Underwhelming, to say the least. When the salad was served, I asked for bread. It was 15 minutes before the server brought it. That's not an exaggeration.

   Reservation honored, but no server came to the table for 30 minutes after being seated.

   The food was fresh. The turkey burger was juicy. My waitress Julie was timely and friendly.

   Great menu. Reasonable prices. Quality food. It's always a great "go to" place for a convenient, casual, tasty lunch.

    Tried to find a reasonable option for a lunch with my sister, since we work near each other currently. On the plus side, we had a table near the window. That is about the extent of the positive things that I can say about this place. It took our waitress a long time to even come over to us. I get that lunch is a busy time, but have enough staff to handle the rush. We each ordered a soft drink and my sister asked for water. The water never came. I don't know when or why it became okay to not just serve water and force people to ask for it. The drinks that did come took forever. We both ordered a burger. I did not realize that this was actually going to be two small patties and not one larger one. I cannot stand that. Makes me feel like I am getting a double quarter-pounder from McDonalds, not paying $12 for what should be good food. The side of tater tots was way too small. The waitress never came back to refill our drinks, we sat and waited on the check for a long time, but she was quick to run the card. I don't want to see the sugar tax on my receipt either. If I knew that it was not going to be built in the $2.50 I was already paying for a glass that is half ice, I would have asked for no ice. Not sure how they decide that my drink was 12oz, but that's what I was charged for. Seems they could manage to pay the $0.12 out of the $2.50. All and all, if you just want a quick lunch, go to Protein Bar. The food and service is so much better.
