The chicken tacos, per the menu, come with pico, avocado crema, and chicken. I did a pickup order today and the tacos came with nothing but chicken. I removed the pico when ordered; I did not remove the crema. I'm really disappointed because it's dry without it. I have gotten these tacos before. I know they're good, but there are only three things on the tacos. It should be a difficult thing to mess up. Not happy about it much at all.I paid $17 for dry chicken tacos, and if they didn't have avocados, no one mentioned it to me.

Nice place, good food, got loud when it got busy, but there is outside seating

Super cute atmosphere and terrific food, I really couldn't ask for anything better.

Small, quaint place. Prices and servings were adequate. We took food home. Only beer and wine. Organic, clean ingredients. The staff was friendly. You order, then sit - we initially missed that part?

We had a quick lunch here while in town for an art exhibit. The restaurant is very attractive & the atmosphere was nice. We ordered at the front & our food was on our table in short order. Both my husband and I thought our food was delicious! He ordered the brisket panini & I had the chick and tin. He added an order of Brussel sprouts & we each had the macaroni side. The good: The food was wonderful. My chicken sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had. It was fried perfectly so that it had a slight crunch & the condiments tasted homemade, not out of a jar…and boy, that makes all the difference. The pickles, the sauce, the bread— all tasted homemade. The macaroni had the perfect amount of cheese and wasn’t swimming in grease. The portions were also good sized. I tried my husband’s Brussel sprouts & they were really good, which says something bc I don’t normally like them. They came on sauce that tasted similar to deviled egg stuffing. The only thing holding this place back from five stars was the price and the tip. I’ve never paid $9 for Brussel sprouts before & the macaroni was a $3 upcharge. We knew this upon ordering, but it still seemed a little steep. Our lunch was two sandwiches, two sides & an extra side of Brussel sprouts for $57.76. Granted, the Brussel sprouts were dubbed a small plate, but it was more of a side dish to us. The other thing that didn’t quite sit well was that you pay tip before you receive any service. We tip twenty percent or more 99% of the time, and we would have done so that day after our meal, but we both thought it was somewhat off putting. Our service was fine, but very minimal (think McAllister’s Deli), and we would have left 20%, we just didn’t like paying it up front. (And my husband has been a waiter, so he believes in tipping well.) However, we thought the food was fantastic, and would return if in the neighborhood again as evidenced by our 4 star experience. We just may order more strategically next time.

Food was great but expensive. You order at counterEnvironment is upscale and trendy.

Feels like the chef watches cooking competitions and has something to prove! Food was so good and unique. More than a basic sandwich.

This place was a really cool find! My husband and I enjoyed our meals here, although it is a bit pricey for the portions you receive. I had the tomato sandwich and side salad, while my husband had the Chick and Tin, which was a breaded chicken sandwich and a side salad. Both meals were extremely tasty, but we were still hungry upon leaving. Instead of ordering dessert there, we went down the way to a local ice cream shop. The waitstaff is super friendly and it is a funky hipster place with good music.

We ate here for lunch today with our 2 kids.. the wait staff was very accommodating going out of their way to find the kids crayons and making my son a new lemonade when he thought it was too sour :) The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great and inviting! Would defiantly come back!

Good fish tacos in a clean environment. Not much staff on hand for the early lunch crowd.
