My partner and I stopped in for lunch. We had a warm chicken sandwich and a cheeseburger which we split both in half. Hours later, we were both sick with severe bloating, extreme vomiting, and diarrhea. It lasted 12+ hours. I am certain the food poisoning came
from here, because of the timing and because we both shared the same meal for lunch, both of us with the same reaction. We are both ultra fit men and this knocked us out completely. We were ready to call 911 to get us to a hospital. It was severe.
