| - I had been wanting to try this place for lunch after a coworker's recommendation. Since it's a little over 10 minutes from my office, I decided to try ordering from Grubhub for the first time. Before I placed my order it said "total time will be 30-40 mins". AFTER I placed the order it turned into 90 mins! Yikes! So.. I decided to cancel my Grubhub order and just go to the place directly.
I drive the 10+ minutes, park, and when I walk inside there is a huuuge line and only one person working the counter. I'm waiting for at least 10 minutes which seems silly - why not have at least one more person working the register so they can handle the crowd more? On top of that, the person at the counter was also taking ordering calls so we had to wait for her to finish making the line move even slower. I was almost ready to bail but since I had waited this long (and made the trek), I decided to stay.
When I finally got up to the front, ordering was thankfully fairly smooth. I got my food to go and when I asked, I was told it would be another 15 minutes for it to be ready. I wish the lady behind the counter would have volunteered that information instead of me having to ask after I placed the order. But once again, I'm already committed, so might as well ..
Ordering food to-go is kind of weird because they don't give you a number and there's really no where to sit and wait. I didn't want to take up a spot at the table for people dining in since it was already crowded, but I didn't want to stand because it was gonna be at least 15 minutes? So the whole thing just felt weird and clunky. I saw a lot of people get to-go orders so I would have thought they'd have a better process.
After a few minutes, I decided to check on my order, and I found that my original Grubhub order was actually made instead of being cancelled. I panicked because I had just placed an order for the same exact thing. The lady at the register assured me my order had been cancelled and so I wouldn't be charged (even though it was made). At the same time, the order I had placed a few minutes ago came out, so she packaged that. While I thought she would just give me the second cancelled order as a nice gesture since it was already there and ready, she instead put it to the side and had zero interest in offering it to me. This was a huge disappointment as other places happily offer me "mistake orders" all the time. I mean the food wasn't cheap to begin with. But, since I had to get back to work, I didn't want to fight it.
And as for the food? It was just okay, but definitely not worth the hassle. The steak was decent but the lamb was super tough. I got it medium - which the lady recommended - so I don't know if it should have been cooked less or what. I was also REALLY hyped about the feta fries, but when I got them they were way too cheesy. They also didn't taste very feta to me? If you love cheese then you'll be fine, but if you're looking for more crispy fries with feta accents (like other places I've been to), I think you'll be disappointed.
Overall I'm hesitant to recommend this place for lunch. If you do, order ahead or be prepared for a long wait.
