Hemingwayz in earnest review

"Chow, Surf, and Chill," said the motto as it quaintly hung below the Hemingwayz name. The walls were painted shades of red and orange reflecting the light from the huge windows, giving an overall warm welcoming feeling. I made my way across the hardwood floor past the comfy booths to gaze at the menu covering the wall. Who needs waiters? I ordered my lunch at the counter and waited with hunger and baited hope for a good lunch.
My Kilamanjaro Chicken wrap and fresh made potato chips were up and ready at the pickup counter within a few minutes. I took my basket of goodies over to the small table of condiments and found the seasonings they set aside for the chips: ranch, BBQ, jalapeno, "secret spice" and cheese flavors lined the table top. A little spice later I sat down and began to devour this rare treat.
The wrap had a nice combination of flavors: the tangy creamy spice of the volcano sauce balanced the crisp texture of the fried chicken and lettuce while the creamy ranch cooled everything off with a nice finish of dill. I couldn't taste the provolone but who cares, it was good. the chips were next, crisp, hot and fresh...very nice. overall, a good meal and worth the price of admission.
