They basically have healthy pre-prepared meals in a cooler ready to go. I believe there are microwaves there just outside the store front (inside the building) that you could use, or most people just take them to go. They have coffees/lattes too, but I have not had one. Their meals come in re-usable plastic containers that I like to reuse. I really like the size and color. It's a bit pricey, but good, clean food is worth it. I wish there were Whole30 options but the sauces (steak sauce / teriyaki sauce / bbq sauce/ soy sauce / buffalo sauce) make that a challenge (true of eating out *everywhere*). The wild caught salmon and green beans were good. They were sold out of the chicken bacon Brussels so that must be a popular dish. You get a 5% discount if you check in on FB. Give this place a try and enjoy feeling better about the fuel you're feeding your body!

Sadly the staff here was too high this morning to function. At least the red head who took my order was stoned out of her mind. She not only let my to go order set on the counter and get cold. But when I got home, I found that she had screwed it up as well. This was the last time we eat here. You have to wonder if the service is that bad then what does the kitchen look like? Is the cook High too, and did he remember to wash his hands? People say "The staff there is always so friendly and nice" yes, most people who smoke weed usually are. If the staff is all High, the Manager has to know, and we can only assume he not only condones it, but partakes. I guess the owner just doesn't care or is oblivious. Sad read more

Everybody loves the Big Biscuit here in town. It's the people that work there as much as the food, although the food and atmosphere is quite good. There are two enclosed rooms in the back where you could have a larger party or meeting, plus lots of seating with natural light coming in through the generous front windows. It gets quite full on Sundays when the church crowd stops in, but even so the wait is not overly long. The biscuits are indeed big, and the coffee is delicious. read more
