Hot Krust Panini Kitchen

We travel for Indian and Fusion weddings so we always look for local places to try. Sandwiches were really good. Curry Chicken, jerk chicken and volcano steak were good. They have Stubborn Soda, so if you like that, get the fountain drinks. I got half vanilla and half pineapple. Really good. We didn’t try any of the sides but the feud looked really good. It’s not on the menu but ask for what sides they have. It was a little hard to find since it’s in a big and busy shopping center. Look for the Dunking Donuts and HK Panini is next door. They have seating inside and outside.

They were kind and knowledgeable of gluten allergy. I was able to order off the menu without modifications. They have a gluten free bread alternative but I opted for a salad today. This is sweet potato fries and their Shrimp Milan salad. The food came out of the kitchen fast even at lunch time. It's easy to miss the first time coming as its entrance is sorta in a niche in the strip mall. I did ask to have spinach added to my salad and I believe they forgot, but that's okay. The salad is a lot of food and very fresh and the toppings are enough to last for every bite.

When I walked a couple leaving told me "this place is great". I immediately noticed how clean the place was. The lady at the counter was friendly and offered top vegan suggestions. I ordered the T.T.L.A. - Vegan with sweet potato waffle fries. I would say "this place is great" hardly put to words the truth about the service and food this place deserved. I'll definitely be back in the future!

So the food was good. While the gluten free bread was one of the better buns I've had so far, I would not classify this as a Panini in any way. It was not grilled or pressed at all. So it was a good gluten free sandwich. Now let's talk about the gluten free cactus chili. That was DELICIOUS! my very first time having cactus anything but my goodness it was so yummy!! My bf also had a fondue Panini and he was satisfied with the sandwich while he did not care for the sweet potato fries. They were just bland and came with no sauce. I would visit again but with different expectations.
