Critic 1: Waitress was friendly, knew the menu however once she delivered the drinks, took the order, brought the order, that was it... she was gone out of sight for the remainder of our visit.
Critic 2: There was 2 other tables with customers at them and we had to wait several different times to get our drinks refilled. Also our dirty dishes didn't get cleared away from our table until after the main course came.

Critic 1: I ordered a caesar salad with chicken and it came with the whole romaine lettuce leaves, which I like. They actually grill the lettuce which is different & yet good. Now where the salad goes all down hill is when they decide to use that sauce they call dressing. I have had some bad tasting caesar dressing in my time but this one by far beats all. For the price your going to spend, should just buy all the stuff to make your own at home!
Critic 2: Salad was very good! It was a salad that comes with the sandwiches and meals. The salad was loaded with nuts and dried fruit. Hands down the best thing I had there.

Critic 1: Bathroom was clean
Critic 2: There is no children's menu but we asked for a grilled cheese for our guest critic and they accommodated him.
Critic 1: So as you know we brought along a special critic with us and he ordered the grilled cheese, which I tried, and would have to totally agree with his opinion... it sucked! You know a grilled cheese is bad when a 6 year old can't and won't eat it.
GUEST CRITIC: I hated the grilled cheese. I did not like the cheese on it. French fries, good! I liked the bathroom, it was clean!
*Guest Critic is 6 years old
