It is baked but with plenty of cheesy meat sauce, topping and delicious. The garlic bread was OK. The salad is a bagged salad and they give you a choice of dressings. Then, when you got to choose the pie, you could have Keylime or any of the other flavors which were pecan, chocolate, coconut, peanut butter, or pumpkin. Sorry, no pictures of the spaghetti. I guess I forgot that one. The owner and the girls behind the counter are super friendly & the service could not have been any better The only reason for four stars instead of five is it's on Styrofoam with plastic utensils which I do not care for. (full price for a dinner eating off of Styrofoam and plastic doesn't seem right.)

My only complaint is during peak hours it gets rather noisy and the parking lot is a little hard to get out of. But totally worth it for the overall great experience!

Normally I absolutely love 7brew, from the drinks to the vibes. When I went today, however, the…read moreservice was terrible and the drinks were entirely subpar. First, we were skipped in line for ordering and when we got to the window we were questioned as to why we hadn't ordered - as if we chose not to order. Second, we tried to order dirty sodas. The servers looked confused when we asked for it, but when we clarified what we were asking for (and showed the advertisement flyer) the server nodded and rang us up for three dirty sodas. However, after a few minutes we were handed clear drinks which weren't anything close to a dirty soda (that comes with cola, in case someone reading this doesn't know what that is). When trying to tell them the drinks we received weren't what we were looking for, several workers argued with us. More than likely it is just a franchise difference, with different menus for different stands. I explained that I had had one at a 7brew in Virginia just two days prior - but instead of just explaining this, the workers said we were "victims of AI" and that no 7brew sells them. I understand not selling a certain item, but there was no need to argue or be rude. The drinks we DID get weren't very good, but that is probably just a personal dislike and the fact it wasn't what I was looking for rather than the actual drink being bad. The incorrect drinks would've been just fine if it weren't for the sour taste the terrible customer service left behind.

Our last visit was decent, so we decided to give it another shot. However, tonight's experience was a complete disaster. We were seated promptly, but our server seemed annoyed that he had to wait on us and rushed us through the ordering process. He was rude and abrasive. We ordered flounder, and it was a complete disappointment. It arrived barely warm, tough, and dry. The most disheartening part was that most of it was nothing more than fried skin with little to no fish inside. We considered asking for a replacement, but our waiter never returned to our table again until he brought the check. He simply laid it on our table and said, "Pay up front." When I went to pay, the person behind the counter, who I assume was one of the owners, was lounging in his chair with his feet up, engrossed in his cell phone. He took the bill, rang it up, and said, "Tap or insert." Then he went back to his personal call. I understand that it's a family-owned restaurant, and the owners can do whatever they want. However, with the start of tourist season, they don't have to provide any customer service or care about the quality of their food. They'll still make a killing. While I know I won't be missed, I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. There are too many other options available. See the photo for a visual representation of the poor quality of the food. It's definitely not worth $56 for two flounder fish specials.
