For those following along, you know that I love my cheeseburgers, so you know that is what I had to order! My friends both ordered the Eat Me sandwich, which is a turkey sandwich with sauteed onion and swiss cheese. The portions were huge and everything was absolutely delicious! I added a trip to their salad bar to my order. It has been forever since I went through a salad bar so I just had to! For a girl who is totally missing the Little Apple Brewing Companies salad bar, this one was a welcome sight. The Riley Cafe' salad bar has a variety of greens to choose from then a very nice selection of toppings, pickles, olives, crackers, salad dressings, and more!
