I got a Groupon deal for this place, which is why I stopped by in the first place. As others have mentioned, the place is kind of hard to find because of all the construction in the area.
The inside looked sort of dilapidated, although still relatively clean. I'm not sure if they prepare anything in house, because it seemed like nothing was prepared fresh – they just heated up whatever you happened to choose from the display case. While the raw salads looked fresh, some of the pre-cooked items – like the chicken pilaf and baked pasta – looked super dry and as if they had been sitting in the display case for a while. I ended up going with a main entree (baked chicken) and three sides (coleslaw, beets salad, and guacamole salad).
The beets salad was delicious, as was the guacamole salad. I would definitely recommend either or. If you are a huge beets fan (which I'm not), you will probably really love the salad. The coleslaw was nothing special, but it was fresh and tasted homemade. I wasn't super impressed with the chicken, because it seemed too oily to be baked. I also wasn't expecting it to be breaded…
The gentleman behind the counter was really slow and it took him quite a while to help the group in front of me (he had to take their orders a couple of times before he got them down). I took my food to go, unheated, so I was able to get out of there way before their orders were even done heating. I felt bad because the guys seemed to have been waiting for a long time already and were starting to get anxious. Also, the lady who came in after all of us hadn't even been helped by the time I left. I don't know if it was an off day for them, or if the service is generally that slow.
I'll be back one more time to use the other Groupon I have, but I'm definitely not going to go out of my way to return. Next time I'm here, I'm going to try to stop by for lunch instead so that I can take advantage of the lunch specials!
