| - Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants!
A friend and I went to lunch there last week and it was even better than I expected after reading the other reviews. The menu is EXTREMELY extensive. The b-fast all day long is a plus, but I wasn't in the mood for that this time so I stuck to the lunch menu. I ended up ordering the half sandwich and soup of the day and my friend and I split a side order of sweet potato fries. The eggplant and roasted veggie sandwich was really good, but huge and messy! I ended up eating a lot of bread and then eating the insides that fell out with a fork after wards. Delicious nonetheless. The homemade chicken noodle soup was outstanding! It had lots of other bits of veggies that are not traditionally in the soup (red pepper, green pepper, corn, etc.) and it added to the soup quite nicely. Did I forget to mention it's a GIGANTIC bowl of soup? There's no little cup o' soup here - come hungry! The fries were delicious although we didn't even need them since our meals were "Hungry Man" sized.
Some side notes:
1. Parking is awful for lunch. If you don't mind creepily stalking folks in the parking lot and possibly engaging in an altercation with another patron attempting to park, go ahead and give it the good ol' college try.
2. I ordered a water with lemon. I received a water with no lemon. When I asked for some lemons for my water, they brought me out a small plate with SIX (yes, I really did say six) overgrown lemon wedges. I tried to come up with a scenario where one person would possibly have a need for one entire lemon on steroids. I couldn't come up with one. There is no reason for one person to be in possession of that much lemon. Period.
3. We walked in and staff #1 seated us. Staff #2 took our order. Staff #3 brought our drinks and later the pile of lemons. Staff #4 brought our meal. Staff #5 cleared our plates. Staff #6 brought our check. Staff #3 took our check and brought the receipts/change back. Did it really take 6 people to get us through a weekday lunch? I was mostly entertained by it - it almost became a game of "who will show up next and what is their task?" It was still a little ridiculous.
4. Being a semi-health conscious diner, I loved that they had fat free dressings, made tuna salad with low fat mayo, and just had many, many more healthy options than the average restaurant. I appreciate places that can fix a good meal without drenching it in calories and fat. There are plenty of places to go for that sort of meal when you're in need. No shortage there. It's nice to have those options beyond the standard no dressing, burger wrapped in lettuce, or vegetable medley consisting of zucchini, carrots, and cauliflower. A big up for Taylor's.
5. For a half sandwich with soup, half of the fries, tax, and tip I paid about $16. It's not the cheapest lunch in town, but it's worth what you pay for. Just remember that the portions are gargantuan so no need to order a lot of extras to fill you up.
I will definitely be back again. Enjoy!
