We ended up at this place because we were trying to get to the other location near Main Street, but the GPS took us for a twist.
As soon as we got there, we were hooked. In the entryway, they had Bloody Mary's that you could purchase and drink while you waited for your table. The place was packed, but a VERY GOOD bloody mary while you wait makes the line a heck of a lot shorter!
Once we got in, I ordered the Pistachio Mocha and she ordered the Smores Latte--both delicious and exactly what we were looking for. The mocha was iced and very sweet--just the way I like it. The flavor was good and the chocolate didn't drown out the pistachio--I don't think I could have asked for anything better! The latte was hot and slightly less sweet--just the way she likes it.
For the meal we ordered the veggie skillet thing (mushrooms, artichokes, sundried tomatoes, potatoes, spinach). I can't remember what it was called, but it was by far the healthiest thing on the menu. The portion size was large and it was great to see them load up the veggies and not just inundate the skillet with potatoes like other places tend to do to cut on costs.
As a second dish, we ordered the Chicken and Waffles. I have had chicken and waffles, but this was by far the best I have had. First off, the chicken was deboned--which means you just cut into it and eat--no need to chomp through cartilage or cut around bones to get to the meat. Second, the batter wasn't too thick or excessive and complemented the chicken perfectly. Third, the chicken was cooked PERFECTLY--probably brine-soaked before they deep fried it because it was plump, juicy, and pretty much just a perfect piece of chicken. Lastly, the waffle was cooked well, and right in the middle of each piece of waffle was a few slices of bacon, which was an awesome surprise to an already great meal.
In the end, there was no room for dessert, but by that time, I was sold on this place and can't wait to get back here to eat again!
Happy Eating!
