Step up to the counter, where you'll order your food off a menu that hangs overhead. When it's ready, they'll call your number over the loud speaker and you pick it up yourself. But somehow in this restaurant, it doesn't seem like a chore to do all that work yourself. It gives you the chance to look around this colorfully decorated eatery that has a certain energy about it. Whimsically painted wooden fish decorate the area where you get your drinks, and green formica tables and booths are complemented with red, fuschia, green and orange plastic and chrome chairs.
Pop music plays in the background, and a few video games provide additional entertainment.
The menu offers a bit of everything, including roasted chicken, hamburgers, salads, calzones and quesadillas. Our favorite is the thai chicken pizza that uses a spicy oriental peanut sauce as its base and is then topped with mozzarella, chicken, shredded carrots and onions. We never miss the caesar salad here, which includes fresh romaine lettuce topped with croutons, chopped egg and freshly grated parmesan cheese. But the winning element is the tasty caesar dressing, a tart and slightly salty topping. We also recently tried the pico chicken pasta salad, and while not extraordinary, it was good.
