The miss piggy was so full of flavor. We loved the tender pork and tasty BBQ sauce. The Cuban panini had the right amount of ingredients. Both sandwiches were made fresh to order

I loved the tots, I think some of the best I've ever had. A bit crunchy on outside, which I love!! The only suggestion, and this is really just a personal preference, I thought the bacon on the Mac n cheese sandwich was a little overpowering.

The grilled cheese with grilled chicken added was so good! Love how they make the bread so crunchy. The tater tots were better than I thought they'd be. I was early on my pick up time & they went ahead & made my order. It was all hot & tasty!
