| - I hate to be a downer but...I was very underwhelmed. The menu looks good and is very extensive, and I will say that between my wife and I we only tried 2 things, so maybe we simply chose unwisely. We had the French Dip and the "Big Nasty" neither of which deserved more than 2 stars. The french dip was a roll that was just taken out of the bag, not toasted, heated or anything and the broth, charitably call "au jus" was insipid brown water that was room temp. there was quite a bit of beef but it had very little flavor. At least it was tender. The big nasty, which is really the same sandwich but served open faced with gravy poured over the whole thing, suffered from all the same problems, except that the gravy was a brown gelatinous mass that was too salty. The thing I hate is that it is obvious that it was heated in a microwave, in some spots it was piping hot, actually so steaming hot that you couldn't eat it and in other spots as close as 2 inches away it was cold. The Mac and cheese suffered from the same syndrome. If you don't want to serve hot sandwiches, then take them off the menu, don't give them a nod and then proceed to execute them poorly. Some things on other people plates looked good, others, not so much. I did see a lot of food left on plates on tables after people left, not a good sign in my book. It's a shame, this place has potential, maybe they will figure out what they are doing wrong at some point.
