| - I've been going to this place since I graduated college in '02. I never ate in a deli before so this was my first experience. Boy am I glad I went! This place is always busy for lunch, so that's a pretty good sign the food is good.
Their menu was big, with lots of sandwiches, po'boy subs, paninins, BIG (I mean like almost foot long big) baked potatoes, soups, wraps, pasta, and even a full service salad bar with all the fixins'. I had never been there before so I asked what suggestions they had. The order taker told me to try the 'New York Yankee'. It is a sandwich made with pastrami and corned beef on rye bread, with Swiss cheese and mustard. It also came with chips and a pickle. It was a great first choice, this bad boy was huge! The sandwich itself was like 6 inches in height. The pastrami and corned beef were moist and flavorful, and went great with the Swiss and rye. Not half bad for only $7.99.
Their sweet tea is pretty bomb too, almost as good as Raising Cane's. Cane's is better mainly because of their pellet-shaped ice. Their salad bar is nothing to laugh at either. Lots of fresh choices, and even whole hard-boiled eggs which were great (unlike Sweet Tomatoes where they shred it up). They even have free Garlic Toast and mini muffins, as well as various crackers that are complimentary to all patrons. Not just that...but they also have free soft serve ice cream! Well, free if you buy something to eat. On second thought, I never asked if ice cream came with everything on the menu. I kinda just helped myself to the machine everytime I ate there. Nonetheless, I never got busted for it. So.....therefore, it must be free!
Not a bad place to have a great lunch with a bunch of your friends. I would have given this place 5 stars, but I went there recently for dinner and found out the portions aren't quite what they used to be. It was rather slow with no one in there. Instead of my 6 inch high sandwich, this time is was maybe an inch shorter. Boo. This time the soft serve ice cream machine was broken too. Double Boo. So stick to this place for lunch, with busier crowds they tend to do better food.
