| - This is a tiny hole-in-the-wall place without the hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. The menu had fun 80's and older song name for the dishes i.e. Paradise City, Buffalo Soldier. Incredibly small dining room though, a couple of tables and a couple outside. We sat outside which was nice except we were right next to the bus lane so as long as you don't mind bus patrons staring at you - then you are golden. I would have given this place four stars for the food but the lack of service knocked them down to three.
Also for a dish made out of macaroni it seemed a bit pricey at the $11 price point after taxes, that being said I tried both the Buffalo Soldier (blue cheese with chicken nuggets with Frank's Red Hot Sauce) and the Sweet Home Alabama (Gouda mac'n'cheese with chicken nuggets with bacon and bbq sauce).
I liked them both but for blue cheese the Buffalo Soldier had a very mild flavor, I preferred the Sweet Home Alabama (with my own added hot sauce of course). There was not a lot of sauce i.e. cheese but there was enough for flavor and the chicken was perfectly cooked, not greasy, with a crunchy light (panko?) breading. The portion size was decent too and we both left with left-overs.
Also, tried the Fat Bottom Girls (cream puffs) one with chocolate and one without. It took quite some time to get our food, despite there only being one other customer that was already eating, so the cream puffs became our appetizer.
My other complaints for service included when we went to get a take out box there was no one at the counter, my friend waited a good 10 minutes or so while trying to strain her neck to see if anyone was in the back before someone helped her. Also, we ended up bussing our own table - I supposed we could have just left everything outside but considering the area we didn't want anything to happen to their serving ware - so considering the lack of staff we decided to help them out.
My friend ordered a soda and they forgot to give her the cup, she finally asked for it.
Bottom Line - I enjoyed the comfort food and I think for macaroni and cheese they have some great flavor profiles, however the service was practically non-existant, and the prices weren't cheap, not expensive, but not cheap.
