I have seen their advertisements for cheap lunches for over a year and just never made it in. Maybe it looked too fancy from the outside or I just didn't expect to be able to get in and out in a quick amount of time. To my surprise, the place wasn't all too busy during the 'lunch rush' time. Most of the customers were senior citizens? What's wrong with this picture!? Must be Madison's best kept secret for lunch.
I've eaten here twice in one week... my first trip was great, Caesar salad with shrimp and lobster chowder was tasty and filling! All that was but a mere $7! My second trip I went to try something different... the $8 options this time. A little more hearty this time... I ordered the grilled chicken and avocado sandwich with french onion soup. Two rocking meals in one week? Can't wait to go for the $9 option next time.
Staff is really friends and checks on you enough to refill bread and drinks. This may just become my new lunch spot.
