My Wife and I were more than pleased when we stopped for breakfast at Why Cook. The staff were friendly and the selections were numerous, not to mention FRESH ! Our selections were prepared promptly. We were impressed with the quality, including the coffee ! We will return !

Best place around. Even with a captive audience they do a great job. Walked over from Hampton Inn where we stayed the night before departing for the airport.

Ive eaten here 3 different times and havent been that impressed. Its pricey in general. Ive had the falafel in pita bread,chicken caesar wrap and last week, 1/2 tuna sandwich with chicken and rice soup. I had the chicken soup the next day and when I opened the lid, there was chicken fat congealed on top. I heated it up and the chicken was dry and hard and I threw it out. However the tuna salad tasted pretty good.It is very convenient and you can walk to it but thats about it imo.

Great place for fresh foods, including Middle Eastern, USA and Mexican choices plus a salad bar. Open clean room. Casual.

NY pastrami sandwich had about 1/4 the meat of a real NY pastrami and had way too many onions that were only half-grilled. The meat and bread were very good however

I worked two days and I did not like it and today the gentlemen do not want to pay me for these two days. It is bad to see how people take advantage of the need, apart from not giving the 10 minutes of rest every second time
