Behind the paywall at the AJC, Jenny Turknett revisits Cafe at Pharr. She awards the restaurant two stars, saying "Cafe at Pharr stands ready to offer you a fast dine-in or grab-and-go lunch. The restaurant even opens its doors early in the morning for folks to snag salads or sandwiches to stow in the office fridge." Turknett recommends the yogurt rolls and ahi tuna salad.
