I remember visiting Engrained a few times the first semester it opened, but each experience was so disappointing (incompetent staff, slow service, mediocre overpriced food) that I never went back. Today was my first time back and what a pleasant surprise! The trio was the perfect light lunch with fresh, well prepared ingredients and the service was efficient. And the price point was just right for a regular indulgence in a poor college foodie's budget.
3 stars because the quality of all the dishes is still spotty. The grilled cheese and soup combo, another inexpensive option, sometimes has burnt sandwiches, or just poorly constructed greasy sandwiches in general.
