Food Scene
This place is a staple in the ASU community. We recommend any of the breakfast foods or the sliders. The sandwiches are good but come with an overwhelming amount of meat (If that is even possible). On weekdays there shouldn't be any wait. On weekends expect 30 mins to an hour if your don't get there before 9:30-10am.
