Oh how I hope this place stays!!
Ive only been once and it was totally dead. That being said, it was a holiday, I had just gotten back into town, had a long flight and wanted something healthy and quick to eat. Read some reviews and since I could walk to Detours if it wasnt a gazillion degrees out, I cracked up the AC and drove over for some take out.
Here's the scoop: It was ready when they said it would be, and my meal was AWESOME. I got the green chile bison burger with pepperjack because I had no idea what else to get, their website was (and still is, two weeks post-meal) under construction and you cant see a damn thing they have to offer.
This is HUGE.
***When people go to your website and cant see what food you offer, they arent going to come!!***
Lucky for you I was starving and came anyway.
I also got the kale and quinoa salad which, yes, is as good as everyone says it is, and also, yes, is a little weird because the kale is completely raw and needed some dressing or cooking or something.
The burger was cooked to perfection, the wheat bun wasnt too dry, and the veggies accompanying it were fresh and crispy (lettuce, tomatoes, pickles..).
Prices are good, I paid $13 for both the burger and HUGE quinoa salad.
One turn off I cant ignore: When I walked in there was only one table of people in the restaurant, and they had been talking to the hostess, bartender, another server, etc. I get it, youre not busy, everyone is chatting and congregating, fine. But when I walked in, the hostess mouthed "shhh' to the others and everyone giggled. OK, this is not okay. Its rude. And I dont think there was anything malicious meant by it or anything, but it was enough for me to notice and feel slightly awkward coming in and having everyone look at me like I wasnt in on the joke. The bartender was super friendly and rang me up and I was on my way. The biggest deal ever? No. But it made my first impression of the place worthy of 4 stars instead of 5.
All in all, I really appreciate the healthy attitude toward food that Detours has going on. Its delicious food and a nice, clean atmosphere. I hope others find it soon and make it a fun place to go also!
