I encountered some confusion as the online menu for this place has changed. The bottom line is that…read morethey offer some good tofu based vegetarian options, which there are not an abundance of in this area. The hours are a little bit limited and I ended up getting brunch from them. The space is small and somewhat receded from the main street so I first drove by without noticing it. The end result was a small but delicious banh mi filled with marinated tofu, for which I appreciate the option to do a little customization on the toppings. They emphasize their house, pickled carrots and daikon. I also got a tea that delivered strongly on flavor. I took some noodles to eat later, and these had apparently the same marinated tofu, which was still good as well as a slight excess of salty sauce. The place has its limitations, but it is a success in offering genuinely Vietnamese and vegetarian cuisine.

The combo included salt and vinegar kettle chips and a diet coke. The service was good, but the food prep/kitchen area looked a mess. I am hoping due to the rush but had me questioning the cleaniess. Additionally, the bathrooms weren't clean maybe because due to being downtown and high foot traffic. I did enjoy the food and sat the window and watched people and the traffic go by.

We were really disappointed with our visit to Trivillian's Pharmacy Soda Fountain…read more From the start, the ambience was flat and unwelcoming. The first woman who greeted us barely spoke above a whisper when asking if we needed a menu, then handed us a flimsy trifold piece of paper with zero explanation. The whole interaction felt cold and awkward, not at all inviting. I ordered the BLT, which arrived cut lengthwise instead of diagonally--an immediate red flag for anyone who respects sandwiches. The bacon was thin, small, and overly crisp, more like a salad topping than something meant for a BLT. There was only one sad piece of lettuce, and the bony, middle was left on. My sister ordered the pulled pork sandwich and couldn't believe how the bun managed to be both toasted and soggy at the same time. She specifically asked for no coleslaw, yet it arrived smothered in coleslaw anyway. To top it off, no one checked on us after the food was dropped--no "how is everything," no refill offers, nothing. Overall, the food, service, and atmosphere all missed the mark. I'd recommend skipping this spot and eating somewhere else if you can.

Their hot dogs remind me of the ones that my grandmother used to make when I was a kid. They are nothing extremely fancy--just sweet slaw and semi-meaty chili nestled on top of an all-beef weiner. This type of hot dog would definitely be a "hit" at any Church of God's Saturday morning bake sale. My granny was a church pianist, so I know this delightful taste particularly well! Their hot dogs are $2.25, so nothing astronomical about the price. They also do a special on two hot dogs and a milkshake. These are wholesome, delicious dogs that take you on a little stroll down memory lane.

One bite in the burger and it was VERY obvious, it wasn't medium rare. In fact, I don't believe it could have more well done without being charred. It was sooo dry and the flavor was nonexistent. The fries were pretty good. When the server came to ask about everything, I told her that it was far from medium rare. She then said, "oh, I forgot about that". All in all it was probably the worst investment I've ever gotten with $16.
