The Scene
This bare-bones, cafeteria-style restaurant draws a crowd of diverse in-towners with its economy dining. Counter service is fast and furious; dishes are prepared while you wait and handed over on plastic trays. Despite this joint's popularity, tables aren't hard to come by in the large space. Ambience is low-key and the furniture smacks of a college dorm.
The Food
The food is as straightforward as its delivery. Counter one offers fresh, semi-made-to-order pasta, including spinach tortellini and a bold-flavored pesto, served with vegetables and meats (try the perfectly steamed broccoli and Italian sausage). Counter two offers a smoky, well-seasoned jerk chicken, served with vegetables or black beans and rice. Choose from a selection of beers, including the pungent, alcohol-free Jamaican ginger beer, or a crisp, brewed iced tea. Finish with a rich, moist brownie.

Two lines of menu: Pasta line, offering even spinach pasta, with your choice of sauces. Meat & veggie line offering my personal fav of Jjerk chicken, black beans & rice, cornbread. Very wonderful. Of course there is more meats and veggies such as meatloaf, sweet potato, collard greens, mac&cheese. They do have a dessert line but I never eat it because I am too full. If that isn't enough to please your senses the crowd always provide entertainment. *Funny... this review site would not let me spell Jjerk the regular way because it was offensive so I had to misspell it :)

I absolutely love eating at Eats. I feel like it was made just for me to eat there. Everything there is perfect. I can't be objective about it. I love this place. I take people there to see if they are cool. If they like it, they're cool.

Eats is great comfort food at low prices. You may be surprised at how limited the menu is, but I still don't get tired of it. Your choices are: J*rk chicken, lemon chicken, turkey meatloaf, or pasta. Plus there are several sides to choose from. The chicken is fantastic, and I also really love the tortellini with marinara sauce. My favorite sides are the collards, cous cous, and cornbread. Mac and cheese is also good. The broccoli is meh. Avoid the meatloaf at all costs. You definitely get full from the chicken dishes. The prices are kept low by the lack of tableside service. You order at the counter, then pick up your own food. Drinks, silverware, etc all self-service. A good place to go with friends or if you are short on time. Not romantic, not good for large groups. Expect to spend just over $9 for chicken plus 3 sides (includes tax).
