Food

Didn't feel like eating any of their other "free" sides right now so I splurged on a side salad.

Salad sold separately. 😔

I want more on my salad than just the standard fare. This was definitely the standard fare and I wasn't all that enticed.  It wasn't too different from my GREAT salad the night before in Oregon but it wasn't great. Cheddar cheese maybe makes it a little bit nice but it's not enough to differentiate. I think it needs to have something like olives or cucumber or really anything (red onion?) that makes it different and better than "just a side salad".  Basics: good greens Performance: more basics Excitement: any unique feature.

Greens

Were fine.

Croutons

Were crunchy.

Diced tomato

Don't really like seeing this usually.

Shredded cheddar

3

Was fine.  Not as thickly-cut as what I had the previous day.

Sandwich

Alone it's pretty good.  I think I just didn't like the messiness and lack of finishing touches.

Meat

3

Overcooked. Black pepper taste. Not much of it.

Bread

Toasted and buttered.

4

No skewers.

Non-meat toppings

There were caramelized onions but I didn't really taste them.

Cheese

Good but not overly flavorful, which is fine.

Dark and rich. They didn't bring enough initially. They should know better.

Could have perhaps been upgraded to a score of 4 if it wasn't so messy and they actually cut the sandwich so a normal person could eat it.  They should have skewers as well.  I tore my sandwich in half like I was a ravaging animal.  Maybe they gave me a steak knife to cut it but I didn't see it.

Had been told that it's messy.

Primary flavor is salt and pepper.

Served "uncut" (not sliced).  This seems like a bad call. Pretty large size, generally. Buttered. Lots of cheese that fell out.

Not sure I've seen green chilies on an FD before.  Didn't taste or see them in this one.
