"It was the first scallop and meat pie I had ever tasted, they were creamy and delicious, the place had a cozy atmosphere and to top it off the coffee was satisfactory."

"What has happened Banjo's???? This is my ham and pineapple pizza order. They were fresh ones which horrified me. The cheese were a sour, curdled, oily mess. The were simply as I purchased them and intended to eat immediately. I couldn't possibly eat them though. I'm wondering if it is a one off or the future Banjo's pizzas...."

"I ordered a salad sandwich, drove 5 minutes back to work, took the sandwich out of the back and cringed with the instant moistness I felt with my fingers. The top layer of bread (pressing against the tomato) was not just moist, but full on wet. It made a squish noise when I poked it. I tried to lift up the paper to move the sandwich and the moisture had soaked through so the paper fell apart and salad went everywhere. I tried to eat around the soggy bread but the tomato was so old and had soaked onto everything that it was completely inedible.
Hopefully my chickens will eat it."
