    The salmon and egg pita is an epic hangover cure. Make sure to get the spicy green sauce with your take-out order.

    Trevor's crazy about the breakfast sandwich, which is served all day. Be sure to check your order though...they've been known to mess up from time to time.

    When you order a pita to go, you don't get any of their awesome chips, so make sure to eat there.

    Get the breakfast pitas in the lafa wrap! A dollar more for a much fuller meal. Not on the menu but they'll do it

    The pitas are so fluffy. A decent healthyish "clean" fast casual move...,but it's not THAT good. Skip the kruveet...it's a bit short on flavor

    Pitas are awesome (I'm looking at you pulled pork) but a little over priced. Eat here once you sell a company.

    Go for the bbq pork w/ extra mustard sauce. Steak was good too - on the rare side though so be aware if thats not your thing.
