| - I had high hopes for this place. A lot of seniors live up the hill and patronize the breakfast/lunch only places a lot more than anything that is open in the evenings. So having something open until 10p as well as drive-thru really floats our boat. These are the kinds of items we prefer to eat, as a hunk of anything is often too much---meat, chicken. What I have liked so far are the soups (potato and enchilada) and the tuna sandwich (fantastic moist hazelnut bread, filling a bit meager). What I haven't liked is running the engine waiting in line for food I called in. I'd prefer the way other restaurants do it, bringing it out to you when you call from the car. I found the French dip sand inedible, but my dog ate the filling (cheez!). I threw out the "au jus" which tasted somewhat chemical to me. The orange roll is awful--also fake tasting. They apparently keep everything chilled, and that's the way you get it. After letting the chocolate bundt cake thaw out, it was okay. The coconut pineapple cake had very little flavor. The OJ, frozen, was better than most (can't beat the fresh OJ at Jamba Juice). Lavazza coffee is a great brand, but I didn't care for theirs. A quart of soup to take home might be helpful for some folks. I'm trying salads next. Translating Grandma food to fast food might be a good concept, but it's hit or miss, so Yelping will help us sort it out.
