| - This place is amazing. Absolutely 5/5. It was our first time there and we ordered as much as we could just to get a pretty good range of dishes.
They were sold out of the fried cheddar, but we went ahead and tasted the Mac and Cheese. Definitely delicious! Honestly it's in my top three vegan macaroni and cheeses of all time. And I'm picky when it comes to that. Now, understand too that this top-3 Mac and Cheese was the worst thing in this list. Everything else was PHENOMENAL. We ordered corndogs -- the batter is absolutely delicious. Boyfriend had the buffalo burger and if you've read any of the reviews here for it -- you know it's awesome. I went out of my comfort zone and ordered the Louisiana fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. Honestly hats off to our very patient waitress (I wish I'd gotten her name but she knows who she is!) who convinced me to give the gravy a try (I was afraid it would have a strong taste of mushroom when I saw the pics and that's just not my thing)! But it was AMAZING. Tender, juicy, savory and spiced perfectly. There was no hint of mushroom whatsoever. Seriously. You guys. Order THAT. Start there and then try everything else on the menu.
We also had smoothies (I got the Flamingo and he got the Tropicana). Both were awesome. Mine was better
We ordered two additional meals to-go because we wanted to grab as much as we could since we don't live on that side of town: the Philly Cheese and the Rueben sandwiches. I didn't take a bite of my Philly, but the bf took a bite of his Reuben before we left and swears it is the best Reuben he has ever had in his LIFE (this includes real-meat ones)! He said the flavor was on point, the sourkraught was good and crisp and the, "meat," was juicy and not dry like others he's had.
My point is: this place has a HUGE menu, and we got 8 items off the list and they were all fantastic. Don't think this is variety without quality taste. I am honestly blown away by the time and effort that must have been put into opening this restaurant and offering customers the sheer amount of amazing choices. Seriously. We were both impressed.
Not only that but every staff member I interacted with was friendly, courteous and helpful, and honestly I was having a really scary and awful day to cap off some pretty rough weeks and none of them even knows how much this whole experience cheered me up. It was just good food and good people who really cared about their craft. I've still got a lot to deal with, but today at least, will will stand out in my memory a little bit more and for a better reason than it would have been if we'd not decided to give the place a go.
Everyone I know will be hearing about this place from me.
Update: I tasted the Philly when I got home and I can confirm it too is fantastic.
