| - I came away from my third meal here confused and a little perplexed. Ate there three times before reviewing to make sure my ducks were in a row. Why confused? because I'm not sure why this place has to be so darned expensive. It's a sandwich, kids. A sandwich. Bread, meat, cheese. I understand about overhead and stuff, but you're telling me this masterpiece of sandwich technology is worth $14? I'm not so sure. Don't get me wrong... you won't leave here hungry. The aforementioned meat portion is flat out huge... my mandibles were unable to get around the top and bottom of it in the same bite episode, forcing me to attack from somewhere in the middle. The sandwich... "Aaron's Choice" featured both corned beef and pastrami, some slaw, and 1000 Island dressing. (AKA a New Yorker) The onion roll assigned to the task of containing all this sandwichy goodness gave a great effort, but collapsed in defeat about 3/4 of the way through, forcing me to finish off with a fork. Some very good, room-temp Swiss took the flavor to a higher level, but all in all... it's a SANDWICH. By the time the beverage, tax and tip are factored in, I've just blown $20 for lunch on ...a sandwich. Good flavor and pretty good service, yes... but I could do lunch at Ruth's Chris for about the same financial outlay. Sorry Chompie's... two stars.
