| - Went in to try the "Lunch in 7 minutes or it's free special" with a couple of coworkers. Needed a quick sit down lunch to get back to work. We walked in at about 12:00pm. The restaurant was about 1/3 full (surprising for lunchtime.) No host to greet us, and a small wait. Finally was seated by a waiter. Was never told about the 7 minute menu or how to order it from the host, therefore, we asked our waitress when she finally arrived (waited about 4-5 minutes.) I really hate that wait, especially when the restaurant is 2/3 empty. When asked about the 7 minute lunch, the waitress pointed to the board menu and said that we had to order and pay from there (in other words no table service.) It would have been very nice if the host mentioned that as now we already wasted 10 minutes of our lunchtime. We went up to order and there was complete confusion with the staff taking our order. I agree with some reviews here...TRAIN your staff or hire new staff!
I had the Pepperoni Calzonetto, friend had Chicken Parm, other friend had Pronto Caesar. When the cashier asked for drinks, I asked if they had Sweet Tea. He said yes, and ran down all the flavors of teas. I again asked for just Sweet Tea. He then said, "Sorry we only have what I said." Obviously, he did not know what Sweet Tea was - TRAINING folks!
We did sit back down at our table and received our lunch in 7 minutes 40ish seconds. I thought it out of their guarantee of 7 minutes, but my friends disagreed so we did not say anything. Well I wish at least I did, because my lunch was horrible. But I guess, what do you expect for $7 and 7 minutes nowadays? Well, I was expecting what numerous articles said about their lunch..fast, but no quality lost. Wrong (at least for mine.) The cheese in my Calzonetto had gotten hard by the time I finished my first section (they cut it into four pieces.) The sauce was also very lacking. Lastly, the flat bread that held all that greatness together was burnt. When I pointed it out the manager, she said that was how they cook the flat bread. I wanted to laugh. I then explained that it made the whole meal taste burnt. She did offer a replacement, but like I said at the beginning, we had to be in and out.
Both of my friends said that their orders were ok. Nothing to write home about, but they would return. As for me, I will not.
