First time here.......aaaaaaaannnnnd...my last time.
Look, I am totally a soup and salad girl. I love fresh veggies and fruit and can always get down with a nice hot soup, especially during the winter.
I have always been a little curious about this place but for some reason my inner foodie resisted the motivation to actually ever try it. Well, I rebelled last night in act of pure desperation. We were attempting to go to Bonefish (next door) but there was a long wait and we had a movie to catch....so, we gave it a whirl....
I could easily pick this place apart from the atmosphere, the bright lighting and the service but I would rather just simplify...
Bottom line...the salad bar was decent...the lettuce was a little brown and looked old. The spinach in particular was sticking to the bottom of the serving tray...They had decent options for toppings but nothing that was super fresh or exciting. The fruit was okay and semi-fresh. The pasta salad section looked okay although I didn't get that adventurous...it basically looked like pasta tossed with mayo so I took a pass..
Next, the soup bar...they had a couple options but most of them looked pretty pukity. The one I tried was actually decent...loaded with salt but certainly edible. It was a butter bean soup and it was actually a vegan option which was pretty cool.
They had other "things" to choose from but some of them were literally unidentifiable (is that even a word??) The pizza looked like it was from ci-ci's, the tacos looked like they were from taco bell and the soft serve was milk and sugar frozen.
I KNOW, I KNOW...I shouldn't expect much for 7 bucks and all things considered, it wasn't THAT bad but it wasn't good either. I felt kinda gross just sitting in there though..just something about it...bleh
Your better bet?? Go to Harris Teeter (the Tajmateeter in Southpark in particular) and hit up their salad bar, fresh sushi and soup options.
