    Vegetarian sandwich hummus on the side
    Brent M.

    I was here reluctantly today (due to past experience) for a special event that included a free lunch. The service is abominable. The order-taker/cashier was like a deer in the headlights. I've noticed this every time I've been in there. It appears they go through many staff. The lack of service in this establishment is astonishing. The food runner was devoid of any kind of personality and was agitated that she had to bring food to the table and deliberately avoided questions that were asked. Not one staff member spent any effort speaking with the group to establish some rapport and adding to their customer base. Totally a missed opportunity and possibly the whole reason why they would entertain such meetings. The music was loud and probably a very poor choice for any type of meeting, considering the subject matter and close positioning to other tables that probably didn't want to hear the conversation. I've been here several times usually just for a beer, but I'm done. However, they have a great HAPPY HOUR so use your own discretion, but don't expect warm and fuzzy. Oh, the food you might ask?-MEH!

    This is my first time to this establishment. The service was great the food made fresh and flavorfull. It took a little while to get our order but well worth the wait.

    First time and I am pleasantly impressed food was great quality and large portions reasonably priced I will return

    Half a Tuscan Chicken Sandwich
    Kris G.

    I have only been here twice, but this is a good option for a fast casual meal. You order at the counter and then take a number to your table. This style of ordering is especially useful when you want to be sure everyone can pay for their items only, or if you have a group who would overall like to stay a while and have individuals come and go as they please. They have a decent amount of tables inside and on their patio which is dog friendly. I also really like that the bar is outdoor as well. The food is decent. On the most recent trip, I had a burger and my companions had the ceasar salad and the Tuscan chicken sandwich. Both really liked theirs. We were able to have some wine and beer, a meal, and it was all very casual in about 30 minutes.

    We walked in not knowing what it expect but the menu was awesome, so many choices and there are vegan options too! There's lemonade and IPA's to your delight! It was spacious and we dined inside not realizing there is a back patio with the bar! I love the cozy space and the service was fast. The food came and it was superb! I ordered the salmon bowl with the crunchy garlic et al and it was off the chart! It was a perfect mix of rice, salmon and vegetable and the sauce was great! I would recommend this place if you have not tried it yet, you don't regret it. I will be back for the empanadas! PS they do have happy hour! Check them out!

    Located on Haun & Newport Roads in the 'Countryside Marketplace' near the Breakfast Club, with plenty of parking. There's inside and outside seating. We stopped here for lunch hoping for a great meal. While I loved the location and the spacious, clean atmosphere, the food was a mixed bag. We started with a 'Beef Empanada', which was excellent. However, I regretted switching from a burger to the 'Chimichurri Tri-Tip Plate'. The meat was bland and too pink for my liking, but the sides were the real issue: the mashed potatoes had an odd, burnt-rubber scent and a hard consistency, while the mac n cheese and bread were both too hard to enjoy (a disappointing menu choice for sure). On the bright side, the 'Thai Chicken Curry Bowl' was fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed their "Stubborn" soda station. Service was fast, and they have a great happy hour (7 days a week, 2-5 PM). I'd come back, but I'll definitely stick to the burgers or bowls next time.

    We came here to grab lunch and we enjoyed our experience! This restaurant is where you order first, get a number to place on your table, sit down and your food is brought out to you! There are many options on the menu and we decided on the salmon plate, empanadas, brussel sprouts, red sangria and an old fashioned. They have seating inside and outside! This place is good for large groups and the bathroom was clean! They have huge bar outside with TVs! The food was okay. The drinks were good! The employees were all kind and friendly!

    Cafeteria style restaurant. The prices are reasonable and the staff were efficient. They have a happy hour menu, including beer and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    Everything was so delicious! Came here for lunch with the family. We sat outside in their patio. Service was extremely quick and each dish was absolutely amazing.

    Tri-Tip Bowl with Roasted Brussels Sprouts
    Leo H.

    First and last time coming here $60 for some dry chicken and tough tri-tip with no flavor..Brussels sprouts was good and the chicken had flavor but it was dry and definitely not worth the money service was ok but I enjoyed the beer selection..I might have to try something else but I don't know cause I had better and more elsewhere for the price I paid....

    Always delicious food and love the beer options. I had the Tokyo Glaze BBQ Chicken Sandwich and it was spot on amazing and the fries here are always amazing.

    Brisket bowl with jasmine rice and brussel sprouts

    Soooo sad to see the brisket bowl go! It must return! It was theeee item I would always order! I tried the tri tip bowl. It was alright. It might be a long time before I return.

    The rock hard throw away part of the bread
    Adrianna N.

    I swore this place off and thought I'd give it one more chance. They didn't put the sauce in our $20 plate togo, there was one ounce of chicken in the curry bowl and the photo of this side of bread should tell you everything you need to know. Spend your money elsewhere.

Very nice gentleman greeted and seated us at a table against the front wall. Michelle was our waitress and for awhile seemed to be the only one until later we spotted a second female waitress. The inside of the restaurant is large, dark features, and the lighting is on the dimmer side so if you're older you may need reading glasses. Menu was one side food/back side drinks. Prices ranged a little on the higher side but not extremely so. While quick to be seated the rest of the dining process was on the slower side in getting our drink order (by which time we were actually ready with our food order as well) and the actual getting of our food and then the eventual getting of our bill. This may appeal to some with the no rush vibe but it just wasn't for us. Jalapeño Chilaquiles - I ordered this with added eggs (eggs are up-charge). Overall I can't say I loved this. The chips were thick and salty. The sauce was spicy (good!) but super thick. My added eggs were cooked to perfection but on the smaller side and not proportionate to the plate. There was a small amount of refried beans at the bottom and cheese,radish and cilantro on top. It just kind of missed the mark. Nutella waffles - We actually ordered this without the Nutella and substituted it for the mascarpone featured in the French toast dish. Michelle our waitress was very nice to help us in the swap. The waffle was good but at the end of the day just a waffle with powdered sugar and fresh fruit. We'd order again but nothing wow factor. Club sandwich - Again Michelle was able to substitute fries for fresh fruit no problem. Sandwich was good if maybe a little awkward to eat as it's a triple decker sandwich (3rd bread slice in the middle of sandwich). The cheese we're told was pepper jack but the quality and taste of that....ammmmaaazing. Honestly best cheese we ever had - I don't know if they bough from the Italian place a few spots down? Bacon crisp, avocado perfection. Honestly overall good sandwich and best thing we ate that day. Brunch ended with a complimentary tamarind like spice ball instead of the usual mint - great idea and very memorable. Overall nice staff, elegant feeling inside, but nothing amazing food wise and just too slow atmosphere.

I wouldn't say the "Papa Sauce" is anything crazy, it's essentially thousand-island sauce. Papa Smash's mascot is an instant icon, he's a mix of Bob's Big Boy & Ness from Earthbound.

Parking is shared with next door gas station and car wash, so it's slightly limited. Note: This is NOT gas station food, it's solely on its own and a separate business.
