"I ordered a sandwich at this place, and noticed there was money sitting on the counter where they make the food. No thanks."

"I travel a great deal. I usually have very little funds but decided to check this place out. I stopped here on my way to the plane and I am not disappointed. Debating between a sandwich or pizza; I asked for an opinion...again, I am not disappointed. I chose the option suggested for my hunger. Pizza. 12" x 4" of great pizza. The crust was thin, flaky, but not overdone. I like a lot of sauce; and even though I would've liked a lot more, there was enough and didn't seem generic. I chose sausage and red onion, add mushrooms. Oh my goodness!! Expectations surpassed. The sausage had such an explosion of actual flavor...not generic ground. Red onion were perfectly done. The mushrooms? O yea! Cheeeeeeese u ask. Ha! It was a fantastical and beautimiss pizza I cannot speak for other's opinions of this place. The food was excellent, but the two ladies behind the counter were even better. UPDATE: Won't allow me to do a separate review, so I'll just add. A second stop for another $11 item. This round I chose a sandwich. The AR Cuban. Sliced pork and ham, sauerkraut, pickles, cheese, and Dijon mustard on ciabatta. Sooooo good. I'm not one for the 'kraut or spicy mustard; however, I admit I was intrigued. I was not disappointed. The Dijon was a bit much, so I thinned it out a little, but made certain to leave enough. I really enjoyed the crunch combo of the 'kraut & pickles. Different ladies this time, but still just as amazing!"

"After talking to management, the situation was looked into to find any issues that could be addressed. I really appreciate their response to address this problem as quickly as possible. Previous post (My girlfriend and I got the same sandwich and when we got off our plane 4 hours later were both suffering from food poisoning. It lasted for about 36 hours for both of us.)"

"A good place for a quick and reasonably priced, as airport restaurants go, salad or wrap. It is conveniently located between both terminals and has a good variety of options. The salad bar is not super extensive, but is adequate for a quick meal. I would have given it more stars except the floors, especially in the prep area, add, dropped food that looked like it had been there for quite a while. Also, the staff was pretty lackadaisical in their service and customer attention. One lady prepping food was downright insensitive in her comments to customers."
