Made from Mycoprotien! Horrible owners.

Revising my review and going from two stars to one, wish I could give 0 stars. Disappointed to learn that the owner is a racist traitor to our country.

This sandwich contains mycoprotien which is Quorn products. I have a severe allergic reaction to this product which is basically cultured mold. I was really ill after eating it. 10% of all people have severe allergic reactions to it. Please be cautious if you know you have this allergy.

Bland Food, Bad Service

First, as the vegans i know are all compassionate & caring individuals - you should know this woman was at the capitol on 1/6. I also know individuals who prior to this event had experienced prejudice and racism at her resteraunt.

Well, honestly, not much of a loss. Bland and overpriced cheesesteak!

Food is trash just like the owner

Karen Toner (Lavere), the restaurant’s owner, was at the insurrection at the Capitol on Wednesday, 1/6/21. She is a Trumper who posted racially charged remarks this summer on social media after George Floyd’s murder. Her 2019 Twitter shows her constantly attacking AOC, telling her to serve tacos and go back to her brainless job as a bartender while responding to a Trump tweet with “I salute you.” She also called all Democrats murderers. The Google review of this restaurant is spot on as it suggests what type of establishment this is: a Public bathroom. Naperville, its mayor, and its people should ban this restaurant from the city. The owner is an American traitor. Actions have consequences, Karen. Her name is *chef’s kiss.*
