| - I loved the food choices here, an eclectic menu that caters to carnivores, vegans, gluten free, and the pizza lover! I enjoyed my grilled steak on lentils, it was cooked more than medium rare but still good, with a topping of greens. We also ordered the sirracha tofu which was a nice appetizer and healthier than ordering fries and I would definitely make this at home! I love that they had a selection of wines, I tried a ginger beer which was very nice, my bill came to $19.
Part Two, what makes this restaurant different is that you order up at the counter. When you walk in there is a stack of menus to order from and then you proceed to the counter. I was meeting a friend and the girl at the counter suggested I take a menu and I could sit down. My friend arrived and she also took a menu and sat down. Ten minutes later we realized by the card holder on the table we needed to order up at the front. To be fair there is signage but we both made the same error. The setup looks like a regular restaurant, so there is no line management to make you think otherwise.
Part Three. We discussed how one would classify this restaurant. I said fast food, she disagreed, and I have to agree it is not fast food either, but I cannot classify it as a full service diner. It is modeled after Sizzler, and we do not see those around anymore.
Part Four. Overall, I loved the food, however, for the $19 I spent, I would prefer to spend a little more for full service. I probably would not drive the 20 minutes to eat there, but if I was in the area and there were dietary restrictions in my group I would.
Just a note, two times this week, counter people were unable to answer simple questions about how the food is prepared. I was perplexed when I asked the girl if the ice tea was caffeinated and she was not sure. I tried a second way, is the tea herbal and she responded it is brewed. Which brings me to another point, it would be nice to have a complete list of beverages!
PS You have great gluten free choices, it would be nice to have a pizza too!
