| - We came here because we knew it would be open for a late dinner, but the food is good enough to hold its own. It was a welcome surprise.
Unfortunately, the first thing with which we were greeted as we sat down to choose our courses is a poetic implication that we should bow our heads and thank God via prayer for our meal. It's printed on the front of every menu. I'm not joking. I don't think they realize how this evangelizing can be offensive to anyone of an other-than-Abrahamic faith; atheists and agnostics; and especially any Christian who takes Jesus' advice about refraining from prayer in public as the word of... you know... God.
So, minus one star for abruptly bringing up this old theological debate before we've had our food for thought. They might as well shove a Chick Tract in our faces (I write this because often other Christians find them unpleasant and unwelcome, also.).
Despite their metaphysics, their tangible food was quite good. Our first course was a delightful cole slaw. It seemed to be made with less vinegar and more mayonaisse than typical slaw. It also had chunks of tart apple. This made it taste very fresh and creamy with enough citrus to wake it up. I would confidently bet that this is a house-made dish; but, if it's not, then every other restaurant is ordering their cole slaw from the wrong supplier. It was delicious.
Next, I ordered a "Turkey Bacon" wrap. It arrived sans bacon, but that may have been a communication error on my part. I didn't complain, so it wasn't rectified. The wrap was just badly clumped turkey cold cuts, a small amount of diced tomato, and some lettuce. It felt like it was missing some sort of dressing --- either acidic, spicy, or both --- to make it kick.
The fries with which our meals came were excellent. They were textured polygons of crispiness which served as vessels for a creamy potato filling. They had just the right amount of salt and oil. I really enjoyed them.
I would not hesitate to return. Good eats.
