It's earthy but not too hearty, great for lunch. Read more

Shane DoneganFebruary 5, 2015I was excited to get lunch here, but I was disappointed when it came with shredded lettuce on it. If I wanted a Jimmy John's quality sandwich I would have saved my money and gone next door.

"This is my "seal the deal" restaurant. Great food on every line of the menu. I'm a sucker for their fried chicken livers, but it's a great pasta joint."
