Took my mom here for the Pick 2, soup & sandwich. We eat here often. Good food, fast and dependable. She had the chicken noodle soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. I had the black bean soup with the Chipotle Avocado chicken sandwich. Both were excellent!

The bathroom needs attention. The floor is so dirty and sticky. Don't look like they've been scrubbed in a while
Eaten at Toddle Inn?
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
