| - Having visited the Downtown Disney location in Anaheim a few times and fallen in love with their holiday turkey sandwich, I had given up hope of a location in AZ becoming reality. However, upon learning of a Mill Avenue location, I drove out to Tempe hoping for the best.
I was not let down.
While smaller than other locations many may be used to, the food and service do not disappoint. Friendly faces outside, invited us to come in; of course, with that being the destination, it wasn't hard to convince us.
I ordered the Holiday Turkey, the wife had the Original 1762, and the kiddo had a blueberry muffin. The holiday turkey was as satisfying as ever - the perfect combination of savory and sweet with the actual turkey playing second fiddle to the cornbread stuffing and cranberry sauce (this is not a complaint, just commentary on what makes this sandwich stand out!). Took a bite of the wife's 1762, and as I remembered from before, the hot roast beef is pretty much melt in your mouth fare. The kiddo enjoyed her muffin as well, but devoured it so quickly, I couldn't sample for myself.
Looks like work is still being done on the place, and with just a banner hanging overhead, it was hard to find at first, but very much worth finding. Will definitely be back, as AZ has been long overdue for a visit from the Earl!
