First time eating bere- and we used DoorDash - and it was great. Absolutely fantastic packaging and quality. Very pleased.
Good value overall, but $8 for a fruit cup is a bit much imo.

This was our first time trying and wow! Mind blown! The flavors and quality of the food we ordered was top notch! We got the chicken strips with sweet potato tots, the pastrami sandwhich, tomato soup and cowboy cookies. Every single item was a delight to the perfect crunch of the chicken strips breading, the homemade sauces (ranch, chipotle BBQ), the hint of orange in the tomato soup to the oozing gooey goodness of chocolate and oatmeal in the cookies. I love the menu options too. This is a new fav!

OMG! Mama Leone's soup is to die for! I ordered half a pint and I'll never make that mistake again. Order the large for leftovers. So delicious. The ding dong is incredible. Tastes so fresh. I also got the Meatloaf and Mashed potatoes which was amazing also and that one I had to heat up myself and it was so delicious. Nice to feel like I'm having a home cooked meal ready in 15min in the oven for heating. So good. So worth it. Can't wait to try other foods but the Mama Leone's soup will always be a must have with the order!!

I have ordered from other locations often over the years, but the quality of the food I received from this location was poor. The soup had very little flavor. The sandwich barely had any cheese and was stingy on the tuna in the sandwich. It was also soggy when it arrived . To top it all off, I did not receive the cookie I ordered. I will not be ordering from this location again.

The tuna Tuna Melt was soggy when usually it's very crisp.The Chicken Strips were tiny!The garlic fries were super greasy.
I don't know if they have a new cook, or what but I don't want to order *this* food again. It was gross.
