| - I've been wanting to try this place for a couple months and finally had the opportunity. The four of us walked in at about 5:45 on a Saturday evening. We were a little surprised that there were only a few tables occupied. We were seated promptly. The waitress came over and took our drink orders. We told her it was our first time there and asked for recommendation. She made a few suggestions and we asked a few questions. We asked for a few minutes. She came back for our order. At that time I asked about the gyros. I asked if the meat was off the spit or frozen strips. She said it was off the spit. I love gyros and order them whenever they are available, but I cannot stand the pre-formed frozen strips. I was hesitant, but finally ordered the gyro. When it finally came out, I opened the bread to find what I believed to be the strips that I did not want. The amount of meat seemed a little light. All of the strips were the same size, same shape (a bit rounded in the ends and came to a point) and the same thickness. I don't care how good you are with a knife, nobody can cut meat off the spit so precisely that each piece is exactly the same. I asked her to take it back and i ordered a Ruben Sandwich.
All the meals came with a cup of soup. The soup was Potato -Leek. We expected the typical creamy potato soup, but this one was broth based with big chunks of potatoes and carrots. The soup was very tasty, but it was only luke warm. They served the table a basket of sticky buns. They were warm and were very good. They were served with a nice soft butter that was easy to spread on the warm rolls (I hate when restaurants serve butter so cold that it is impossible to spread) The service was a bit slow, considering there were only a few guests in the restaurant,
One person in my group ordered the Mango Chicken Salad, which was enjoyed. The greens we fresh and it was loaded with chicken and fresh fruit. Another ordered a Tender Chicken Wrap. They were happy with the wrap, but, like the soup, the fries were only luke warm. The youngster in the group ordered the kid's cheeseburger. The burger was a really nice size for the kids version, but it looked a little overcooked and dry. This boy has never met a burger he didn't like, but he did complain that the bun was "kinda crunchy".
When my Ruben came out, it was delivered by the cook, not the waitress. He took the opportunity to tell me that they gyro meat was off the spit. When I pointed out the size and shape of the meat, he said "that's because I cut it in half" HUH? Sorry, but the only way I would believe that meat was off the spit is if I saw them cut it myself. It seemed a little defensive that the cook had to come out to deliver the sandwich. I was definitely put off by that.
On to my Ruben, it was one of the best I've had. it was right up there with the Simons, Corky and Lennys and the Slymans. There was a ton of corned beef on the sandwich and it was sliced perfectly - wafer thin. The rye bread was grilled nicely. My fries were nice and hot.
There were some issues but they only charged me 1/2 price for the gyro, and of course didn't charge me for the Ruben, even though the Ruben was $1.50 more than the gyro. it wasnt necessary, but it was a very nice gesture.
Everyone in the group said they would go back and order their meal again. I haven't decided yet, but if I do give them another shot, hopefully it will be better.
