I've been to the Eaton location so was looking forward to visiting this full size location. Their hours are very limited however so I struggled to find the time to do so. One weekend I was finally able to make their hours, got there at 1 20pm and saw a sign announcing an even earlier closing time of 2 00pm. It still felt like a reasonable time to go. But upon entering my experience was completely ruined by the attitude of the staff. First off the manager was talking about closing to the employees as if they were in the back and not in front of customers, he was even complaining about the lineup. I could tell they really did not want to be there which I guess explains the horrible hours. One girl was cleaning the floors and all the chairs were up except at one table where I sat. It was truly uncomfortable eating there 40 minutes before close while being made to feel like I am keeping them behind.

They just say the name real quick, not loud enough, and mispronounced, drop the bags and turn around. Everyone got stressed they would mess up their order, people were taking other people's food, there wasn't any sense in which order was coming before the other, no one was operating the cash register... it was a hot mess. After 30 minutes of chaos, we realized that 2 police officers had taken our order, waited 15 minutes in front of the empty cash register, and when they got to pay they realized it wasn't theirs. When we realized that, they were trying to reheat the sandwiches in the microwave, paper bag and all. We just left. Can't comment on the quality of the food, but service was a mess. They should really take numbers...
