| - Think of this review more as a 3.45 if anything.
I came to Carnegie some time back but before I was a religious yelper. When a buddy suggested we get sandwiches for lunch right when we got into town, I had no idea we would find our way back to this place.
All I remember are the portions are gigantic ($3 sharing fee) and at this time, I was thinking with my stomach than my head and ordered something solo (mind you, I had a MAJOR case of food poisoning the day prior so I was feeling like I was running on empty). I got the Woody Allen which comes with pastrami and corned beef.
When it came out, it was STACKED to the max. I forgot how to eat it. It went well with the deli mustard that sits at the table.
Disappointments this time around:
- One of my friends got the beef tongue and said it was flavorless. There was nothing in the sandwich in the self that would make it "saucy" to eat... and the way this beef tongue was, there didn't appear to be any natural juices.
- The portion sizes are a bit wacky. A side of fries for $6 (which were cooked perfectly) was a pretty good size. For about $5 we also got a small bowl of potato salad and a small baked potato that didn't even come out with any butter, sour cream or chives!
The waitress noticed that we waited a long haul without getting any of the items we requested (sauce, extra place settings, etc.) so she came by, graciously apologized, and got us an extra order of fries. That's great customer service there.
I'm not sure under what pretenses I'll come back here, I'm sure there are other pastrami places to explore in Vegas!
