Most Disliked
While many rave about the freshness of the food, a few reviews mention inconsistency in the Italian beef, stating it can be dry. Guests expecting a saucy experience may find it disappointing when served with gravy on the side instead of soaked beef.
Another minor concern stems from the service, where one patron noted a server had inquired about a tip after already receiving one, which some found a bit awkward. Although feedback on the food is largely positive, there are occasional critiques like in the case of the steak taco, which some customers felt fell short of expectations. Despite these critiques, most patrons still find the food quality and quick service worth a return visit.

Great food & experience all around. I ordered the Jerk crispy Philly steak w mild fries & Fuzzy Navel (I think that’s the flavor) Lemonade. Took less than 10 mins for my to go order & it was so delicious!!!!! Philly was crispy & juicyyyyy. Good music & great service. I asked for whatever flavor lemonade was most popular and the worker had me sample his favorites- lime was so amazing too. He also smiled like the whole time- good vibes. Affordable, quick, and fresh stop on my lunch break today. You bet I’ll be returning to try more of their menu

The Philly cheese steak was very tasteful the bread was soft like I like it. I Oder the beef as well and didn’t care for it so much it was dry and I like mines wet which I did ask for it to be soaked . I was given two cups of gravy to pour over my beef not the same . The steak taco was just okay I will not order again . the ladies at the front was very nice great customer service I didn’t like the fact the one lady asked for a tip which I had already gave but she didn’t see me put in jar. let your service speak I don’t believe servers should ask for tips overall everything was hot cooked to order and good . It was a small wait but worth it to get hot, fresh food I will return I suggest every to try them
