Slightly larger portion because it really was good! We vacillated between 4/5- food was great (5), but want more (4), but don't want to pay a lot more!. Bottom line, very good.

The bacon on the grilled cheese sandwich was excellent. But only complaint was a the French fries were soggy and greasy. Sandwich was great. Hope next time the parasite fear is over and I could have it with the tomato. Team was friendly and provided information on the precaution to not use lettuce and tomato
