Been coming here for 20 years but watched the service and quality deteriorate. Today was last straw. After a recent meal I bought a frozen "Chicken Noodle Soup" to go. Awhile later, I was looking forward to a nice, satisfying, nutritious meal. To my surprise it was only a few noodles floating in broth. No chicken to be found in this "Chicken Noodle Soup," and no tomatoes, no carrots, no celery like it lists in the ingrdients.

Today I was in the area so I stopped by and had lunch. After my meal I asked for the manager and I nicely told him about my disappointing experience. He was confused, and he admitted he didn't know much about the soups. So he brought out the kitchen manager who didn't really have much explanation, except that's just the way it is. He couldn't give an answer to why "Chicken Noodle Soup" has no chicken, and it doesn't have any of the vegetables listed in the ingredients. He did however think it would be helpful to emphatically explain to me that gluten-free means it doesn't have any wheat. Thanks for that.

I was looking forward to buying a bunch of items, like stuffed cabbage and kreplach, but was so annoyed I just grumbled something about "bad business" and walked out. I even forgot my bag with a half a reuben sandwich I wanted to bring home to the Mrs.
