Pretty tasty fare. The strawberry smoothie was super creamy and I really wanted to try all of their delicious looking sandwiches. They use interesting ingredients like sweet potatoes. It’s more of a grab-and-go type of place, but they have a small area with bar seating for anyone looking to dine in.

Got the standard melt and onion rings. Was pretty good, a nostalgic toastie with plenty of cheese and ketchup added. They could afford to leave the toastie on the grill for a bit longer or have the heat higher, it's nice to have it crispy. Onion rings were ok, I'd recommend to try the other sides instead.
