    Chicken uncooked, none of the ingredients listed on the website, bread is hard and it's three pieces on here. I'm so disappointed
    Dajheonna P.

    Read caption. Uncooked chicken, none of the ingredients listed, two peices of chicken, bread is over cooked and very hard. I only had thirty minutes for lunch and Now my day is ruined. Hoping I'll get a refund because I'm going back as soon as I get offf. Please don't go here.

    I didn't know they had all day breakfast

    Tropical smoothie is bae... I repeat, tropical smoothie is bae!!! I like this location because it close to my house and the parking is really easy. As a creature of habit I only get the Paradise Point and of course add ginger. If you've never ordered from Tropical Smoothie please know that you'll get your monies worth as the cups are humongous!!! I also had their Sunshine smoothie (with added ginger) last Summer when they were doing their donation drive for their camp. The food is also pretty delicious as well. I LOVE their salads and will sometimes get a smoothie and salad, save the salad for lunch as the smoothie seems to fill me up. Lastly be sure to check in prior to ordering because sometimes have additional discounts when checking in and they also have Yelp cash back offers.

    Raw bacon on my sandwich. I won't be returning to this location. 0/10

    Service 0/10 the cashier didn't notice I was at the counter because she was on her phone . I kid you not 5 seconds after I ordered my food it was done . I checked my sandwich and it was filled with raw bacon. I won't be returning to this location.

    Delicious and healthy smoothies made with fresh ingredients! Their smoothie menu consists of low-fat (fruits), nutritious (with veggies), energized/supercharged (workout), and indulgent (with chocolate, etc). They offer a wide variety of fruity goodness that cater to anybody's craving. There is also the option to add supplements such as protein, flaxseed, probiotic, etc. In addition they offer wraps, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast food options. Any of these can be made vegetarian. Great location, quick service, and clean environment with plenty of seating for a low-key, casual meal. My personal favorites are the Mango Magic and Acai Berry Boost with protein. I like to order smoothies that I normally don't make at home-- like a special treat to myself after Zumba!

    Free birthday smoothie! Large one!! Lately I eat out a lot and feel chubbier, so I chose DETOX GREEN smoothie. Taste: Great! Ginger, kale, banana, ... I felt much better after I drank it. My heart burn was gone. Price: Many healthy things are under $10. Interior: Nothing special but clean. Staff: They are not that friendly but fast and patient with my indecisiveness. Parking lot: Lots of free spots right in front of it. Cheers!

    i've been here buying a Bahama mama for the last three months. The new cashier charged me for extra coconut when I asked for no pineapple. I was only in the shop for about five minutes they make a very good smoothie but the red Beard gentleman working behind the counter don't know if he's a manager or not. White his nose on his shirt because he ditched her something four times quite disgusting. Plus they charge me the $.99 over. Will not be coming back to this one.

    Sticker from my orange that was inside my smoothie.

    A consistently inconsistent smoothie shop. I live right down the street and have been to this TSC three times so far in the past two years hoping their service and efficiency has improved and every single time I had to wait over 20 minutes for one smoothie. This time though, I decided to plan ahead and place a mobile order and once again, had to wait an additional twenty minutes after the order was supposed to be ready. After sitting in the shop waiting I noticed several things that raised red flags: 1) they had messed up 3 orders before mine 2) the workers who worked in the back wore gloves then came up to the register to take orders and handle money using the same gloves 3) some of the workers in the back did not wear any gloves 4) they had 3 smoothies that were discarded because the orders were given to the wrong customers 5) the chad asked me my name and name of the smoothie i ordered a whopping total of 4 times before receiving my smoothie 6) a majority of the employees in this shop look like kids (meaning i don't believe i saw a manager on duty) 7) never received an apology for waiting 20 minutes in the store and 35 minutes total for a smoothie (should have demanded a refund and walked out but i really wanted a darn smoothie). EDIT: My husband picked up a smoothie for myself and him because I am pregnant and desperately wanted a smoothie. All was good, except his wait time again, an additional 15 minutes after calling ahead 10 minutes... and my lovely orange ginger glow smoothie with surprise sticker that I sucked up from the straw from what I am guessing is the orange.

    This was the first item that was sucked up through my straw thank goodness it only touched my lips and not the back of my throat !!!

    Zaytoun Halal Grill is a great place to visit for something quick. If you are familiar with…read moreNYC-Style Halal Plates, then this wouldn't be any surprise to you. The parking outside is a bit interesting but if you are coming in to pick up, it's not too bad but I can see this being packed at night. Parking can be limited for sure. Ranging from Rice Platters, Kabab Platters, Sandwiches, Wings, Tenders, Gyros, Salads, and Dessert, this place a lot for what it's offering. The staff were friendly and recommended me to try the Kabob platter after mentioning seeing that in the Menu. I ended up getting the Combo over Rice as it's my go to. Gyro Meat, Chicken, Cucumbers, Lettuce, over a bed of rice drizzled with White and Red Sauce. It is my go to meal and you can't go wrong with that. Since it was cold, the meal kept me warm and I was able to enjoy every bite as it was also filling. I could come back for more! This place is also open late, another reason why you should check out Zaytoun Halal Grill. It's great!

    As promised I went back to Zaytoun Halal Grill to try it again and get a popular item, the combo…read moreover rice. I must say I'm glad I did. It was delicious! Both the lamb and chicken were very flavorful but if I had to choose one over the other it would've been the lamb. I will still opt for the combo but that information is just in case you wanted only one for yourself. The service was still great. The person at the cashier greeted me promptly, made small talk and even let me try the chipotle sauce. My only critique is when ordering the over rice plates you can add multiple sauces for drizzle but if you want it on the side it's $0.99!!!??? That makes no sense to me. Especially when you are probably using more sauce for the drizzle than what they but in the to-go 1oz cup. This is needs to change because what if you just don't want sauce all over your food. Nonetheless a three to a four star for sure, a five remains to be seen with other items and consistency in their popular dishes.

I was served within about ten minutes of ordering. The servings were generous. I took the second half home to finish it the next day. The tomato sauce and the meatballs were particularly good. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The service was very friendly. The decor of the restaurant was that of an old-school New York Italian restaurant. The music playing was rock and roll and doo-wop from the 1950s and 1960s, which added to the old-school ambience. The facilities were clean and well maintained. Keep up the good work. No complaints.

The men behind the counter bark orders at customers and rush you to order as if your presence is an inconvenience. They are rude, uncouth, and borderline belligerent. Questions are met with evasive, dismissive answers. This was not a language issue. I spoke to staff in both English and Spanish. Every interaction felt rushed and unpleasant. The food did not redeem the experience. Although it smelled good and I've eaten here before with high expectations, the margherita pizza was completely inedible. The crust was not just moist, it was soaking wet, literally watery, fresh out of the oven. Yes, tomatoes can release moisture, but this was beyond that. It was flat-out wet dough. When I showed the issue to the man behind the counter who seemed to be the person preparing all the orders, the one who always wears a permanent scowl and who regulars will immediately recognize, he tried to gaslight me by saying that is "how margherita pizza is supposed to be." When I pressed him and showed him how saturated the crust was, he changed his story and claimed it was oil, not water. It was absolutely water, but even if it had been oil, that would have been just as unacceptable. I asked for a replacement. He told me to throw the pizza away and said he would make me a cheese pizza. Instead, he replaced an entire pizza with a single slice of cheese. No explanation. No apology. Just a quiet downgrade and a shrug. Our full order included a plain pizza, garlic knots, a Sicilian (grandma-style) slice, a buffalo chicken slice, and two sodas. The total was $73.82. The Sicilian slice was overloaded with parsley to the point that it overwhelmed the pizza and made it unpleasant. The most astonishing part? The owner was sitting in the booth next to us the entire time. She watched the interaction unfold and did absolutely nothing. No acknowledgment, no intervention, no accountability. That silence speaks volumes. This place is expensive, poorly managed, and staffed by people who clearly do not care how they treat customers. The man making the pizza is one of the worst individuals I have ever encountered in the service industry. The fact that ownership allows this behavior without consequence tells you everything you need to know. I will never return. Avoid it.

The restaurant has a decent sized dining area with a large television to keep patrons entertained while they wait and eat. The guy working the counter was awesome. He was very friendly, helpful, accommodating and attentive. The restaurant serves subs, sandwiches, and of course, wings. They have some traditional wing flavors such as BBQ, teriyaki, garlic parmesan, hot and Thai chili. They also have some exotic flavors available such as 24K Gold, salt and vinegar, moon dust, gold dust, Old Bay, rosemary, and Nashville firecracker. They all sounded so good. I had a tough time deciding what to get. Everything looked and sounded so delicious. So, I ended up order a Philly steak and cheese, and 5 honey old bay wings with fries.
