A recurring criticism is that meals feel overpriced compared with the amount of food, with some reviewers pointing to small taco counts or thin layers in what they ordered.

There are also mentions of tips and add-on pricing that affected perceived value.

Hours reliability is a concern

Several reviews say the business can be unreliable about being open, including being closed early or not answering the phone after driving over. Some reviewers explicitly request attention to updated hours and call out incorrect postings. While a few notes suggest you may be able to order despite timing issues, the overall pattern is uncertainty around when it is actually operating.

Assisted living in 2025 offers a crucial balance of independence and support for seniors, with costs varying from $2,500 to over $7,000 per month based on factors such as location and care level. Understanding pricing complexities, including regional differences and potential hidden fees, is essential for families to plan financially while ensuring quality care for their loved ones.
The guide outlines the complexities of Medicaid coverage for assisted living, highlighting significant state-to-state variations, limited coverage often restricted to personal care services, and the existence of specialized waivers for certain needs like memory care. It advises families to consult local Medicaid offices for options while emphasizing the importance of understanding state-specific regulations and facility policies.
Medicaid coverage for assisted living varies by state and is primarily available to low-income individuals, with eligibility dependent on strict income and asset limits. Some states offer HCBS waivers for specific services in assisted living, but families must generally cover room and board costs, and should verify facility acceptance of Medicaid while considering potential waiting lists.
