Okay, this is 5 stars for a fast food place. Remember that. This is not the Ritz.
We stopped in today on a quick turnaround trip from S. Cal. I was intrigued by the idea of a healthy drive-thru. I was quite surprised and sorry to find that they have no dining room at all. But the good news is that the weather was nice so we sat outside and got bonus vitamin D3 while dining ;)
Service is super fast and the food is super fresh!
Food:
My hubby had the Cobb salad (hold the egg) and a regular black iced tea (they have fruity black teas also).
I had the Strawberry & Roasted Sweet potato salad with goat cheese and a champagne vinaigrette.
Oh! And one of the BEST cups of lemonade I've ever had (and I've had A LOT!).
I will dream of that cucumber mint lemonade for years, I'm sure of it. It was not overly sweet at all, the cucumber seemed to be minced and perhaps macerated. This added a unique sweet flavor to the beverage as you drank the bits at the bottom. There was just a hint of mint to brighten the flavor overall. This was truly a masterpiece of balancing and complimenting flavors! (Can you tell I REALLY liked it??)
Okay, back to the salads:
Cobb salad, hubby was satisfied, said it was good and it looked like it was nicely dressed, meaning not drowning, just well coated without a pool of dressing left at the end.
My Strawberry salad (I asked them to add cucumbers, too. I was really craving cucumber today.) was tossed in a VERY LIGHT coating of dressing (like, not all the leaves had dressing), but the salad had so much flavor from the ingredients, I did not want any more dressing as it would have detracted from the goodness going on in the bowl. The greens were a very fresh batch of mixed field greens. I did not find one yucky looking leaf! The salads are quite large, especially for a fast food place. I easily could have eaten only half and saved the rest to take home, but we still had 7-8 hours before we would be back home, so I ate it all :)
The salad was not packed full of tons of extras, but had just enough to taste good and have some goodies with the greens in every bite.
I would certainly return when in Gilbert again. (Oh that lemonade!!!!)
