"You have to order then wait for a seat which means you might get a plate but no seat."
"The place is small and the system of seating is confusing."
"The space can be a bit cramped and they only have 4 tables so prepare for a wait."
"Reading the menu will make your mouth water until you walk into this grimy place."
"Anyway, I visited this place last week, and after walking in and seeing the cheap, shoddy seating arrangements (backless benches with dirty pillows thrown atop?), my first instinct was to turn around and exit."
"The table we sat at had food remains both crumby and sticky on the table."

Cons:
"You have to order then wait for a seat which means you might get a plate but no seat."

"Wow don't go on a Sunday because it is too crowded!! But they'll still take your money and serve your food even tho they can't give you a table to eat at????"
"The place has always been packed and you stand around for 10-15 min after ordering in an awkwardly tight space."
"The limited hours and the long waits on the weekend are a real pain."
"I understand what 'Takeout' means, but there needs to be a label, 'Phone-in Only'."

"Hope they enjoy the $2.85 margin and the one star smaller review."
"The seating was limited, and I can see why- the more people who try the food, the more complaints there would likely be."
"Had an incident where we dropped a donut in front of the cashier when they handed it to us. After asking twice, they wouldn’t replace it without charging us for a new one."
"I read the other reviews and waiting for the snarky passive aggressive reply by the owner."
