not sure what people mean by "it's dirty" unless they're talking about the tops of the tables. when mildred's gets busy, there's only one guy behind the counter to make food, take orders, and clean up after the messy patrons.
i usually get the weaver's fancy (red and green peppers, two kinds of cheese, mustard and mayo warmed up on a wheat pita) and gazpacho in the summer. their soups are homemade from scratch.
the sandwiches are huge, you might have to ask for some foil to take half home.
nels is doing something right since they've been in that location forever. it's a bus-your-own joint, so take care of those messy tables before someone reviews the restaurant poorly because of it!
