The ladies are nice but the food is not worth it!!! Eat the bag of chips, corn nuts or candy in your desk and drink plenty of water until you get home.

I ordered a hot spicy chicken sandwich and it was very good. The restaurant feels upscale and there's plenty of outdoor seating.

We had the shrimp burrito and the avocado burger - both were very good options for lunch!

Almost $10 for a "grilled cheese" sandwich that was 2 slices of the smallest bread (not even toasted) you can find in the supermarket filled with 2 slices of cheap not even melted cheese. Never again.

Ordered a double cheese burger to go. The burger was very dry. I’m pretty confident the burger patty is from Costco. Nothing wrong with that but it was very overcooked and dense. Also as you can see the bun was burnt. At least give me a new bun! It’s the last part of making a burger jeez

Breakfast bacon burrito was delicious and tasted homemade. The Hot salsa was surprisingly delicious. Great selection of bottled drinks too.Dining area was really nice and had plenty of seating.If you stay at the Hampton hotel, make sure you stop by.

The taste is fantastic. But every time I ask for extra meat, I never get more meat.. my Baja chicken sandwich was mostly bread.

Great atmosphere and great food. Very friendly people.

My Wife and I were more than pleased when we stopped for breakfast at Why Cook. The staff were friendly and the selections were numerous, not to mention FRESH ! Our selections were prepared promptly. We were impressed with the quality, including the coffee ! We will return !

Best place around. Even with a captive audience they do a great job. Walked over from Hampton Inn.
