text: I want to like Rachels Kitchen more than I do To me this place should be a slamdunk They offer fresh food and healthy alternatives to the normal restaurant fare However there are a few things that really bother me about this place Let me elaboratennThe first problem I have encountered is inconsistency I like going to places where I know that I can order the same thing more than once and get well the same thing Sometimes I get stuck in ruts and return to places over and over for a particular menu item That is how I know whether a place is consistent or not and this place is not I have ordered the same wrap a BBQ chicken one a dozen or so times Sometimes it absolutely blows me away Sometimes it is flavorless and skimpy on the filling Since I never know which way it is going to be prepared I usually opt for other food places while I am at The District The prices at Rachels are similar to Panera but at least I know how my Panera will tastennSecondly the service is somewhat lacking At times I have been greeted with a smile Other times I am greeted with a huff It goes along with this consistency issue that seems to be a theme at Rachels I like to know that I am not going to be punished because the person taking my order is having a bad day nnLastly some of the tables are TINY Like barely large enough for two people to comfortably fit their orders on the tabletop Last time I visited my fiance ordered a salad and I had a wrap Once you added drinks and utensils to the mix it was a cramped mess Between the crowded tabletop and the fact that the table was scooted waaaaay too close to the line of people waiting to order I felt claustrophobic and wanted to leavennWhen Rachels is good it is some of the best food around When it is not it feels like highway robbery I really wish this place would live up to its potential
