The turkey sandwich is life changing! I grabbed a quick take out meal here one day, and was amazed by the quality and portion. The sandwich is packed with a generous portion of turkey, lettuce, tomato, and cranberry mayo. I was skeptical, but the cranberry mayo takes the sandwich to the next level! It was fantastic.I returned a few times during my time in town just for this sandwich. I also really enjoyed the side of hearty grain rice and the chocolate chip cookie. The staff is friendly, my order was ready in a timely manner and delicious every time. This is a great spot! - Danielle Deihl
