Picnic without the unwanted litte creatures 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

This place is very cute and small. It has picnic tables to eat your lunch at. The chicken salad is the best. It is not drowned in mayo. You can actually taste the other spices and chicken. The homemade cookies are very good.

Pros: Great bread
Cons: parking lot small, expensive, few tables

Great lunch place 5 Star Rating - World class

My mother and I visited this cute place for lunch and it was great! We had the orzo pasta, chicken salad, egg salad, and pimento cheese all in small 5 oz containers!-we shared and the favors were perfect for a light lunch. Amazing bread!!!

Pros: great healthy fast lunch
Cons: parking!

could be better 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

The recommended chicken salad was dry and nothing special. I ordered two boxed lunches and both the side and the cookies weren't what I had ordered (I should have checked before I left). One of the parking lot entrances is really steep, making me fear for my front bumper. High prices for average food. But the staff was friendly and attentive and the decor is original and inviting. They could use another table for all those soccer moms eating in there; they have plenty of room. Also they need to put some lights and a new floor in the restrooms (not bare concrete!).

Pros: lots of parking, unique atmosphere, good staff
Cons: high prices, little seating, dark restrooms

best place 5 Star Rating - World class

I love this place and would happily eat there every day of the year. The pork tenderloin is unreal, but my fave thing are the cookies and the chicken salad. This place ROCKS.

Pros: the food, sandwiches, cookies
Cons: no cons

Cool Comfort Food -- Dad and I agree A++ 5 Star Rating - World class

The Pork Loin Sandwich is my Dad's favorite. I like the Chicken Salad. Picnic is a little cute for my Dad's taste, but the cozy, come-as-you-are, sweet staff, and the basic fare where the old neighborhood grocery store used to be add a bit of nostalgic appeal that is easy to grow fond of. Let the tricycle parked out front be a warning that it's a neighborhood joint where neighbors exchange words in neighborly ways at picnic table seating. The box lunches are also great for takeout, if community seating is not your bag. It's so close to the sculpture garden. Last time I grabbed a box lunch to go and ate there.

(great bathrooms)

Pros: atmosphere, food, staff
