"LOVED the Small Caesar Salad so fresh and the croutons were crispy and flavorful. The Cock-A-Doodle Noodle was fantastic their dough was fluffy but golden brown and seasoned on the outside. The fillings were each seasoned very well and surprisingly the pasta was not over cooked it was amazing 10 out of 10!!"
"RUN... don'talk to get the Large Beets Me! Salad I added figs! This is the BEST salad I've ever had in MY LIFE!!! The large will feed 3-4 people because that was my whole meal and I only ate 1/3 of it! The dressing is absolutely amazing, the greens were perfectly fresh and crunchy.. it's a perfect meal!! Hubby got the Carmen and loved it! He recommended picking a different sauce on the side because the butter was a bit bland. The Spinach Artichoke Bites were such a great app! The flavor was amazing! We will dig into the S'mores later...but I know I'll be ordering that Large Beets Me! Salad with figs for as long as it's around!💜"

These were tossed so the flavor was actually part of the wing and not just in a puddle on the bottom. Also, fast! I'll order again."
"This was a quality pie! The crust was crisp, yet chewy, the cheese nice and baked and veggies were diced rather than sliced, which I prefer. Pretty sure this is my new favorite!"
