Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Super quick and delicious soup and sandwiches. The salads looked very fresh as well, but we didn’t try one. The staff was extremely friendly and a nice neighborhood atmosphere. We will definitely return on future trips to the area.

Can’t believe we haven’t been here before. One of the rare places in town that doesn’t serve bar food. Great healthy sandwiches and salads . Counter service in a very clean and well decorated venue. Owner Mike and his staff are all professional and very...personableMore

My daughter, two young grandsons, and I were in town to visit Cumberland Mountain State Park. Looking for a picnic lunch to go, my daughter found this place. A large selection of freshly prepared sandwiches and wraps were in the chilled display case, along with...bottle beverages, sliced watermelon in cups, etc. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We agreed after our picnic that the items we purchased were fresh and delicious. It was a quick stop to grab some healthy fare. We recommend this place.More

Great food and service. Mike, the owner, is always there to greet you, by using your first name. What a great touch. Highly recommend.

If you like it super salty, and smothered in dressing, this place is for you. Order anything, it seems to come this way.

I have eaten here many times. Have items in a cooler ready to go/eat in, or you can order off the menu. Great service and good prices for the amount of food you receive.

It’s a good lunch, very clean and friendly staff. I certainly would go back, but not in a hurry! The service was fast but it was not crowded.

Driving home from a trip, we needed "fast food" but had already passed the drive through chains. I found this place on Google. It took just a few minutes to get two chicken salad sandwiches, two cups of cubed watermelon, and some iced tea. Everything...was great. I loved that they used whole wheat bread. It tasted homemade. Both my husband and I liked the chicken salad. We will stop here again.More

We were warmly greeted as we 3 adults walked in. But being our first time, we may not have picked wisely. We got sandwiches from the cooler to take with us for a picnic at Falls Creek. The chicken caesar wrap was good. The chicken...and tuna salads were bland and not much to them. Sort of disappointing based on all the reviews I’d read. I guess it’d be better to dine in.More

That's their motto/slogan/theme and they lived up to it. My wife and I (as was everyone) were greeted with a heartfelt "Welome home!" As we entered. The man at the counter exchange pleasant conversation as he took our order. All the staff we encountered were...very warm and friendly. The food was excellent! We had an egg salad sandwich, a club sandwich, and split a chef salad. Sandwiches were delicious and served on fresh bread. The salad looked beautiful and tasted just as good. They even gave us two different salad dressings since we were sharing the salad.More

I was in the area with a friend and stopped in for lunch (about 5 minutes after closing time: 2:00). Owner of the shop was there and welcomed us in and told us to take our time. The homemade soup was delicious and the sandwiches...were very fresh! If you are in the area stop in and give it a try.More
