And I felt like I was eating at a food court in the mall.

Average food, weird people and loud.

I really don't understand what they are going for here. I wish them luck.

I know right...things like McAllister's and Panera Bread are are so odd.

Tried to stop by for lunch today. Couldn't find a spot to park. Figured it was a sign. Got CCC instead. I think I win

Profits.

Good food, fair price, and quick service.

I don't eat there often, but I think the concept does what it intends to do pretty darn well...serve fresh food and turn a good profit for its investors. Never had anything I didn't like there.

They don't need your luck. They're making a killing.

Their food is well above average with solid service.

I dont care for it. Maybe because I dont care for one of their owners.... But dont care for it. Never was crazy about McAlisters either.

No offense, MS folks.

Was just talking to someone about this place. They were raving about how much they enjoyed it. Some kind of Chicken salad and the Italian sandwich were the favorites.

I tried the pepperoni pizza and it was okay (I'm sure the dough was sourced in NYC and hand tossed in the restaurant like they said )

My wife had a Cobb salad. I didn't sample it though.

I'm sure they will make a ton of money appealing to the same people that patronize carnival cruises and frequent shopping malls.
