I have been going to Lettuce Cook since the day they opened. I even used to live in the apartments right next to the restaurant, so I’ve been a loyal customer for years and have recommended them to many of my friends.
This time, however, was a completely different experience. I ordered my usual sandwich, the Turks N’ Durks, to go. Once I got in my car, I started eating right away because I was very hungry. After just a few bites, I realized something was seriously wrong—the turkey tasted spoiled. I even had to spit it out twice because it was so bad.
I called the restaurant to let them know, and they told me they would call me back, but I never received a call. Since I was still hungry, I decided to go back in person, hoping to either get a replacement or a refund. I even took the food back with me to show them that I couldn’t eat it. The cashier said it wasn’t up to her and that the owner would have to call me back, as he was “tied up.” I explained that I wasn’t trying to cause trouble, I just wanted to eat something else because my food was not edible.
At that point, the owner came out (clearly having overheard the entire conversation). Instead of listening, he immediately cut me off and said in a very rude and dismissive tone, “I’ve never even seen you here before.” Before I could finish explaining, he shoved $15 at me and added, “And do me a favor and don’t come back again.”
I have never experienced such unprofessional and disrespectful treatment—especially from an owner! To dismiss a loyal customer, accuse me of never coming in, and then tell me not to return instead of addressing the issue is unacceptable.
I don’t even like to take the time to write reviews, but this one had to be done. Sadly, after years of supporting and recommending this place, I will never go back and will no longer recommend it to anyone. Good food means nothing when it’s paired with such terrible customer service. Do yourself a favor and avoid dealing with this type...
Read moreI have lived and past this place every day and finally thought I would stop and try since I was in the mood for a breakfast burrito. Ordered a few things to try ( see attached picture). The Lavender Creme Brulee was really good and definitely had lavender in it. The Strawberry Bread Pudding was good and moist. I did feel like a sauce (white chocolate?) could have really elevated the dish and gave it a richer taste.
Now to the burrito and me questioning if I know meat. I was between the sausage ($7) and brisket ($10) burrito. I will admit I can't have huge amounts of pork but was willing to deal and just pick off. Given I saw so many healthy (gluten-free) items, I asked if the sausage was pork or beef (pork). Clarifing as I was ordering, that pork and I don't get along well. I decided not to punish my body and get the brisket. I took one bite. When I asked the host if their brisket was beef or pork, her answer confirmed what my body already knew. Brisket by definition is beef. This is a chopped pork shoulder and egg burrito. I opened the burrito up thinking I could just pick it out (Nope). It was uniformly egg and brisket* throughout. The host did ask if there was anything else I needed but it was not phrased as if remaking it was an option. As I threw away a mostly uneaten burrito I did mention to the host that clarifying it is pork brisket would probably help as by that point my stomach was turning and my next destination was the ...
The decor was nice and welcoming. Oh and that devil egg was...
Read moreI’ve only been here once on a whim but I’ll be back! It’s been on my list of places to go for a while. I pass by it all the time. Today while driving by I decided to stop in and finally check it out! Judging by the name I thought it would be a vegetarian restaurant. They do have vegetarian options but not a vegetarian restaurant. Not a problem with me at all. I Walked in to an open dining area and kitchen, very cozy atmosphere. With many unexpected things on display for sale. This place has everything. Prepared foods, fresh salmon, yummy smelling sandwich's and several snacky items. I was excited. The gentleman in front of me ordered the turkey and durkee and by the sounds of it he had gotten it several times before, good sign. I ordered that and one of my personal favorites a gyro. The price may have been a little more than expected but then again so was the quality of my food! That to say it’s worth every penny. Mounds of meat, fresh crisp veggies, and superb sauces. I will definitely be returning to try some of those prepared meals and some...
