I go here often to get good quick food (you get it immediately). They have various types of chilis and jambalaya's that come with two pieces of bread covered in this buttery flavored sauce that's like a comfort food. my fav is the drunken chicken! and I reccomend getting a half&half (you get to choose two different ones).
