| - After a super long day of thrifting ( it was half off day!) I braved the unknown (to me I mean) back roads of Kannapolis to come here. Maybe I expected too much out of this place but really it was just aight.
I drove up on a super cute downtowny looking part of Kannapolis, as I said before, an area I had never ventured. I was excited! A restaurant with this outstanding sounding menu out here?! Lemme at it!
I had already fixated on the Salmon BLT ( seared salmon, avocado, arugula, tomato, smoked salmon "bacon" with a tarragon caper mayo on a brioche bun). Sounds delish doesn't it?! I got the salad bar as my side, which is available weekdays for lunch. I went ahead and dug in for the salad while I waited for my sandwich. The salad bar options were all very fresh, though not something I imagine you could make much of a meal out of (which is an option) Probably best as a meal accompaniment. Also there were only 4 dressing choices, and 2 were very similar.
My sandwich arrived and I still hadn't received a basket of the complimentary sweet potato chips, so I kindly asked her if I could get a basket, she apologized for having forgot and quickly brought some over. First thing I noticed when the sandwich arrived was a bit of a strange smell, but I chalked it up to being the smoked salmon bacon since I couldn't identify it right off (later realizing it reminded me of a kitchen sink drain but had no "issues" so I guess it was fine). I tasted a piece of the salmon that had fallen off the sandwich since they were on there in chunks and it was pretty flavorless. I ended up having to salt the thing...I don't know the last time I had to salt a sandwich. The combination of ingredients was all just a little too soft since the salmon "bacon" wasn't actually crispy. So texturally it missed the mark. Flavorwise it was unexciting.They should have just used a lot more of the "bacon" on the sandwich since it was extremely flavorful on its own.
I would go back to try something else if I find myself in the area since the service was great but I definitely won't go out of my way to return.
