"Great Philly, hoagie was fresh, lots of cheese. French fries were crispy on the outside and thick inside, yum! The house aioli is horseradish, but not overbearing. Busy, but room to sit. The 2 staff women I interacted with were both very nice."

"In town for business. Stopped here for lunch. Had Gyro and it was good. Never had one with olives on it, will do without those next time. Taziki sauce could be more flavorful but I would still order it again. Fried pickle spears were good."

"Everyone is always friendly here and they keep the place clean. It is ONLY open from 11-2pm Tuesday- Friday. They do have a healthy food option which is their Buddha Bowl that changes weekly. The other items on the menu are very good which includes their battered fries which are very tasty. It's hard to just eat a couple of them. They do have beer and wine available to drink as well as soda and water. I think they probably have coffee and maybe tea as well. They are local and I think family operated as well! Prices are moderate, but this isn't fast food! They are quick to get the food out though!"

"5+ stars This place was recommended to me by the people at Boller Printing a couple doors down. They didn’t steer me wrong. I had the Philly steak sandwich with a side of their house made aïoli. The sandwich came with fries. I also ordered a cup of their chicken and wild rice soup. I didn’t need the soup, but I hardly ever turn down wild rice soup. All the food was incredible. The fries were perfectly cooked. The sandwich was great. The soup was so good, I ordered a large container of it to take home for dinner. The place is clean and the service excellent."

"I go to the Mint at least once a month to get a Buddha Bowl. Their other food is so good. And they are well known for their açai bowls. I always enjoy going to The Mint. I hope one day they stay open for dinner. I’d definitely go even more! Overall, great place!"
