| - I'll admit, I was not in a great mood when I was dining here. I was traveling with my mom and she could not make a decision on where to eat so we ended up walking for an hour and stopping by like 2-3 other restaurants (love her but not her best moment). So I found this spot and we walked the additional quarter mile here. The staff and service were fantastic- super friendly and helpful.
The menu looked great- mostly healthy and fresh options, which is sometimes a challenge to find when traveling a lot (NOLA- I'm looking at you with 1-2 salads on the menu, and buttery, delicious, sauteed veggies). Anyway- I make some pretty bomb salads at home (for an eighth of the price), so it's not typically on my list of things to order when I'm out, but they sounded great. I saw some yelpers mention the pulled pork, so I tried that and my mom got the Cubano. The sandwich was huge and the bun was little too much, so I ended up just eating the pork, which was good, but definitely not the best pulled pork I've had. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste and pork seemed like it was not homemade/ in house... It didn't have that fresh, smoky, taste/smell to it, almost like it was a crockpot pulled pork recipe, and it was really pretty average to me. The Cubano on the other hand was really good. I loved the free cookie for checking in (a sugar cookie with corn- unexpected, but nice texture surprise).
Again, the staff and service was fantastic, but the food just missed the mark for me.
