    I'm not entirely sure how it's possible for businesses to appear to pop up overnight, completely built, on University. Yet, here we are again. Drove by last weekend and saw a brand new, painted building next to the Sonic. Sunday we stopped in because my husband wanted to give them a chance. We went through the drive thru and the menu was way larger than we expected! I was expecting maybe a dozen types of smoothies and possibly a few snacks, but the menu is very large. We asked for a to go menu at the window so we could look at it without the rush of a car waiting behind us. I was full, so I didn't want to order anything. My husband was in a grape mood, but didn't see anything with grape, so we went with the Blueberry Bliss which is blueberry, strawberry and banana. There appears to be only one size of smoothie, it was $5.69 for that particular drink, $6.17 with tax. Not going to lie, as soon as I saw that price I figured we were going to get screwed over with a tiny smoothie. However, while waiting for our smoothie at the window I saw smoothies being delivered to tables and they all looked to be about 24 oz. The lady at the drive thru was very polite and despite how busy they appeared inside, I don't think the wait was more than 5 or 6 minutes. With our receipt we were given a coupon, good until 8/1/22, that offers a 24 oz smoothie for $1.99 with purchase of a food item. They also have an app for reward points and you can get a free smoothie after your first purchase if you download it. While I have always thought $5-6 for a smoothie was too much, and inflation isn't going to change my mind on that, I have to admit it turned out to be a better deal than we originally thought. First, it was clear they were using real fruit and not a lot of extra sugar, which resulted in a delicious, light and refreshing drink on a hot day. Second, we ended up splitting the smoothie and only got through half of it right away. Later, I saw that it still had the smoothie consistency and wasn't melted or warm. You could potentially nurse this thing for hours. That does offer a draw for me. One of the main reasons I don't do smoothies too often is I usually can't finish them before they get all watery and I try to avoid wasting food if I can help it. I did see that they had kid size options that are 12 oz, more my speed, especially if I get it with food. But they only had 3 options that size, so maybe not the best selection for someone with my typical grazing habits. I went back and looked at the menu later. The smoothies are separated by veggie, fruit blends, tropical and balanced fusions (acai, oats, peanut butter, chia, etc). There were about 20 options. They do offer supplements and add-in's, but I didn't actually notice that when we went through the first time and would only do that if I was substituting an entire meal with a smoothie. They offer flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, salads and quesadillas. There are a few options for each and the flavor combinations seemed varied and some were quite interesting. It appears to mostly be chicken, a couple turkey options, a plant based substitute and vegetarian options. Items are listed by calories and if they are gluten free, vegetarian or plant based. That alone makes me think they will do very well in Denton. I'm not any of those things, but it's important to know what you're getting, especially if you have allergies. The kids menu and breakfast were all $5 or less, the lunch items seemed to be $6-8. The sides were under $2. After our experience with their smoothie, this seems like a good deal. However, until I try their food I honestly have no idea if their portions are worth it. I will have to update once I have tried more items. This was my first visit to any location, so I am not sure how they compare to others in the chain, but it was a pretty good first impression and I like having these offerings in this convenient location.

    Tiny yet expensive Thai Chicken Salad... I'd pass on it.

    Ordered delivery through Uber eats and was tremendously disappointed in my $9.09 plus tax Thai Chicken Salad. It's about the size of a side salad, had maybe a half chicken breast, and my extra dressing was left off. The smoothies seem good, and my family seemed to like their Flatbread, but I'll never order food there again.

    Super good reasonably priced and usually not a long wait. I've come here pretty often and never had a bad experience or an incorrect order.

Idk if there is an actual portal to NYC installed in the door or what. There are elements of Denton scattered throughout, though, which are pleasant reminders of the unfortunate reality we face upon finishing our sandwiches. The first time I came here was 9pm on a Tuesday. I was craving some cheesecake and the staff was very pleasant in accommodating me. The cheesecake is very good especially for the price. That can be said for all of the food I've had thus far. Today I got the All stops sandwich (and a slice of cheesecake), which was impeccable. The sandwich was so filling I ended up saving half for later! I'm a pretty large guy so that's unusual but a great surprise for me! The service is fast, place is clean enough to eat off the floor. I was surprised it wasn't busier to be frank. The bathrooms were clean, and there was a newspaper above the toilet from a couple days ago. How cool! Overall epic experience and I will probably be a regular.

My mom has a favorite sandwich that she is always telling me about, The California Club Mikes Way w/ mayo added on Rosemary Bread. We both ordered the same thing cause I wanted to see what the hype was. The girl, I wish I would have caught her name, took both of our orders. She was a breath of fresh air, she was so polite and you could just tell she really likes her job. And man oh man did she put a lot of love into making our sandwiches by putting a very generous amount of goodies onto the sandwich, let's just say when we took a bite there was overflow squishing between the bread and you know what I was not unhappy about it. Just a little FYI it is a messy sandwich but it's so worth every single napkin. We both ordered chips and a drink with it. We both tried the flavored tea of the day, which was Watermelon Tea.. perfect amount of watermelon flavoring added for the right taste. I was also impressed that we went close to what would have been right after the lunch rush and this place was so clean.. bathrooms, tables, floor, drink station, even her station behind the counter with all the dressings for the sandwiches was so clean and stocked... I was very very impressed. I literally am ready for my next visit. Sooner the better!

    Small chains have been popping up alot lately all across the fast casual landscape. Potbelly Subs,…read moreFive Guys, Jersey Mike's and Chipotle. They aren't going to be outnumbering the Taco Bells, Subways and Micky D's of the world but they aren't suppose to. They want to serve you good food in unique and better ways. Which Wich is no different. They are a small chain that gives you many options to choose from and all you need is a red marker, a paper bag and whatever you might be hungering for. Turkey & Chicken, Breakfast, Comforts, Italian, Vegetarian, Ham & Pork are all categories you can choose from and out of those there are some really good options. Meatball, Beef & Whiz and even a pretty decent gyro sandwich. Of course, if you feel like trying something different the Elvis-wich is that. PB, Banana and Bacon with a bit of honey. It's just not fried like the way the King liked it, but it was pretty good, although strips of bacon would have been better that crumbles. Which Wich is popping up all over, and they are definately great for a quick bite. Enjoy.

Plus there was the promise of peanut butter, bananas and bacon. More on that in a bit. After spending some time out in the sun in North Lakes Park just down the road, it was lunchtime. My brother had been here a few times and said the sandwiches were pretty good. Also pretty inexpensive. We were just looking for something quick and this was a short drive from the park. Easy enough decision. The deal here is they have a station at the front where you choose what kind of sandwich you want. Some of the categories you can choose from are Turkey, Ham & Pork, Chicken, Vegetarian, Italian and Comforts. Each of those categories has 5 sandwiches listed within it. You choose a bag from the category of sandwich that you want and mark which sandwich you want on the bag along with what other things you might want with it. Type of bread, cheese, condiments, etc. Confused yet? Go there. I made it sound a lot harder than it is. My brother and I both ended up getting the Elvis Wich. That is what I mentioned above along with honey. Now I eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches fairly regularly, but I've never had one with bacon. Elvis apparently liked his deep fried. That was not the case here. Simply toasted on wheat bread this was a really good sandwich. I paired it with an Oreo shake because I can't resist a milkshake if I see a sign for one. The bacon was chopped up and that was kind of weird. Not sure why they don't do strips here, but that is a minor complaint. They have an interesting thing going on here.
