As a long standing restaurant with a stellar reputation for consistently delicious food it is despicable that the face of this business is a haughty, loud mouthed bully. On a busy Friday, June 17 2022 several people were on line to pick up called in orders. We all watched as a woman on line walked up and got heatedly reprimanded for asking about her order that had been paid for and was bagged and ready on the shelf.
After the woman got her order, the employee told her coworker, at the counter, that she should "slap that woman ". Then this employee started to make moves to do just that. It was a horrible scene. Shame on the manager that has employed this worker.

Best chicken and sausage gumbo ever! The Reubenand chicken salad are quite delicious. If you download the Upside app you can get cash back from there. It has allowed me to explore the menu and save money! So many more things to try.

This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. All of the meals are prepared well and healthy. Love the Chicken Sandwich on Croissant and the fruit salad on the side. Nice. Please do not forget the lemon cake for desert, the best homemade there is.
