| - I kept hearing about California Sandwiches for a long time. I never had the chance to try them out because i've always had my go to places for veal, chicken & meatball sandwiches. All i ever heard wass "best sandwich you'll ever have". I tried not to have any expectations, but gotta admit, i sort of did based on all the hype. We were in the area shopping and wanted to grab some lunch with the kidlets, so we stopped in to check out the menu etc.
Ordering was easy, but would've been better if the cashier had explained that there were 2 different sandwich sizes. Especially since my hubby ordered 2 for himself, not knowing how huge they actually were (we took 1 home). I later noticed in small letters at the bottom of the menu that mini sandwiches were an option. Still would've been nice if they explained that after we mentioned it was our first visit and we asked what they would recommend.
I ordered my veal sandwich with: sauteed onions, cheese & mushrooms - onions were not cooked to carmelization and had a bit of snap to them. Normally i don't mind that, but they didn't even taste sauteed. Barely noticed the cheese, way too many mushrooms. It was drenched in so much sauce that after 2 bites, the top of my sandwich bun disappeared. Oh yeah that and the fact that someone there has no clue as to how to slice a bun in half. They left the top thin and the bottom so thick! I only ended up eating half of my sandwich there because it was just going all over the place and way too messy. Lost my appetite after trying to fight with one half of my lunch.
My hubby ordered a steak sandwich. He asked what it came with. One thing they failed to tell him was that it came with tomato sauce - correction - drenched in sauce! He enjoyed it, but would've preferred the sauce on the side or no sauce at all. Or that if they His 2nd sandwich was a chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato & mayo - that one was the winner for him. He enjoyed it at dinner.
The portion of meat in each sandwich was great. The experience would've been much better if:
1 - the sauce had some flavour to it
2 - the bun was evenly sliced
3 - the breading of the veal or the veal was seasoned better
4 - the onions were cooked through a bit more
Thankfully our kids ate somewhere else before we went in. The only thing we ordered for them was fries & onion rings to share. Not a fan of crispy fries, so i stopped at just 1. Good for kids only if they are a fan of veal & chicken parmasean, sausage & meatball sandwiches.
I noticed that a few people commented on the mushrooms being canned etc. I believe they are hydrated mushrooms as fresh would leave a risk of containing bacteria if not stored properly etc. Nevertheless, they tasted good.
I will consider trying another location and giving them another chance. I was just disappointed at this location because they had a high number of staff in the kitchen that day and were not able to deliver on the flavour & experience for me and it wasn't even busy when we were there.
