"The Vegan Breakfast Muffin was surprisingly hearty and delicious!! They use an actual vegan sausage LINK rather than a thin sausage patty which is way better imo. I added a hashbrown inside and avocado and it definitely exceeded my expectations! Will order again! "
"The Elote was dry and such a tiny cup for the price. The Personal Animal Fries were soggy. The Marinara Pasta appears like it has a good serving of sauce there was very little and it was dry. The BLT was the only good thing about this order. This place is disappointing!!!"

"I got the Classic Meltdown - Combo, which was delicious! The bread was so crispy and buttery and the cheese was very good too. The fries were seasoned very well. I decided to get the Treatin' Myself Melt as well and it was meh. The pound cake tasted commercial and the "cheesecake filling" was minimal. Not sure if that's brown sugar crumble or what on top of it, but the whole thing just wasn't it. Wasn't worth the calories to eat it just for eating its sake! Grilled cheese 12/10, dessert 4/10."
