1 | Alright so being from Texas I'm used to lots of seasoning, lots of flavor, and lots of heat if things are supposed to be spicy. This sandwich shop lacks all of those things.

1 | I had the famous Pitts-Burger and it was disgusting! The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because of the bread.
