My coworker got a BLT; I didn’t try it, but he liked it a lot.  There was a generous amount of thick-cut bacon, and he liked the taste (though he would have preferred it a bit crispier).  At $4.95 each and pretty hearty, the sandwiches were a good deal. For dessert, we each got a tea cake, for which Campbell’s is apparently famous.  The tea cakes had a thin layer of icing that formed satisfying cracks when we broke into them; inside, they were soft, flaky, and tasted subtly of almond.  My coworker declared his one of the best cookies he’d had in a long time, and I couldn’t think of a better one in recent memory. Last time we went, we got the chicken salad and the roast beef, and liked both.  I don’t remember much about them except that I loved the sweet pickles in the chicken salad.  The brownie we got for dessert was nothing amazing, but the apple fritter was almost, if not quite, as good as those at Scurlock’s.
