For a quick lunch spot, this place is as good as it gets for me. I cook 90% of my meals at home and I always use fresh, mostly organic ingredients. Vera's is as close as I can get to my own food and I LOVE that! Everything I have had there...delicious. The fish is tasty, the chicken is always flavorful, and the salad bar has the best roasted eggplant. Being able to put together your own plate of salad (or veggies, whatever you pick) is the best. Healthy and home cooked. They DO microwave the food to heat it up for you, but I feel that is a small price to pay for the quality of food that is prepared. The owners are sweet and appreciative. I will always support a local business like Vera's over a chain fast food restaurant.
