I loved the receiving spirit I felt as I waltzed passed the threshold entering the restaurant. Not everyday 'ALL staff smiles @ once is if they were programmed to do so on one accord. Smilingly people smiling back at me with respect, I could tell. Everybody was concerned with what I needed, I was overwhelmed with their wanting to care for me, repetitively asking me if everything was okay. I feared the niceness @ first like we Americans so often do. I thought to myself "how so unusual to be treated nice for no apparent reason.
I began to ask the staff thousands of questions. Surely they wondered who I was but honestly I was just a bystander in awe of the way I was being treated. I wanted to know more about why they 'all smiled so much. Why were they so nice, one young male staff had created his own sandwich at the restaurant inwhich I took the liberty of ordering by before I left.
He told me the life history of the restaurant, I was impressed beyond my 58 yrs. to listen to a young man recounter to a stranger the' Purpose / Mission of the company. "Yeah," says the young man, "even l have weeped the benefits of a second chance through this restaurant", he stated. "Management is awesome, the owner is beyond words. This is a 'second chance program' that Not only was helped a broken me but anybody that's willing to reach out and dig deep within themselves to 1st help themselves.
I think for the first time I fell in love with something inhuman but gave the freashes of breath, its called All Square.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreAll Square is a grilled cheese sandwich restaurant on Minnehaha Ave & E 40th St, and they do what they do really good. Good cheese, truly excellent bread that is crisped just right, a range of options that make the choice of cheese sandwich fun, plus a really excellent included side salad that has just the right level of acidity to complement the richness of the melty cheese deliciousness.
The four-cheese sandwich is pretty standard and best enjoyed with a side of the fresh tomato soup for dipping. The options expand from there.
I highly recommend the jalapeno popper cheese sandwich: sharp cheddar, cream cheese, pickled jalapenos, and candied bacon. SO GOOD. Why did I never think of this combination before?
The prices are reasonable, the portion size is good, the service is very fast, they're open for lunch and dinner service 5 days a week, and they've got indoor, counter, and patio seating, so there's something for everyone. 100% plan to return in the future...then there's just the eternal debate between trying something new and ordering something I know I really love.
As a bonus, they are a non-profit that supports social justice and the reintegration of those affected by mass incarceration. So eating there is good for both...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHad the most pleasant experience here! The staff was very kind and welcoming. I like the way you pay for your meals and the systems they use. Not to mention, they have their own merchandise and thereās nothing better than supporting a local business with their clothing, earrings, etc. The music and atmosphere was delightful and had a very good vibe. I love love love the food! I suggest the jerk chicken grilled cheese. Had no idea that they would serve a side salad with your meal. And it tastes so good! I tried both of the soups, couldnāt pick my favorite because they were both delicious! I do enjoy that they have beer, wine and a self serve water station. And the bathrooms were very inviting. There were not specific menās or womenās bathrooms. They were simply for āwhicheverā person would like to use them. I love that! My experience was more than exceptional. I will be back and will suggest this place to everybody. Thank you all so much for a wonderful experience. Itās nice to see a local business doing so well and making everyone feel equal. Thank...
