Once upon a time we didn't have to pay extra for jalapenos on our BLTs. How will poor Luca afford to fill up his BT-50? Still the best place to eat at tons and it's not even close

I regularly visit Three Little Pods and always have a wonderful experience each time. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I walk in. The menu offers a great variety of delicious food at reasonable prices, and everything I order is always fresh and flavourful. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal or a casual coffee with friends. The only minor complaint is the parking situation—during busy periods, it can be a bit tricky to find a spot nearby. However, this small inconvenience is well worth it for the quality of the experience.
