| - We've been there twice now. I wish it were located in town so we could go more often. The shop is the old Dog 'n Suds and is not much remodeled. It is clean and spacious. The eating area could be a little better lit, but overall is good. Tables are not crowded together, and there are a variety of table sizes to choose from so it can as easily accommodate a lone diner as it can a large group. And there were some of each when we went. The counter where one orders is large and bright, and the menu is overhead and easy to read, although a few items could use more detailed descriptions (does the hummus come with pita, for example, or do I need to order a side of pita?). The servers were helpful and cheerful. After ordering they brought the food to our table.
The menu is essentially the menu they offer in-town but with several very nice additions, like falafel, hummus, fatoush salad, and tabouleh salad, among others. On the first trip I had the falafel sandwich and my wife had the gyro. The gyro is ample, with lots of gyro meat, tomatoes, onions, and sauce. It is delicious and, with a side order of an extra pita, is itself enough for two. With a drink and fries it is plenty of food for even a very hungry person. The falafel too was good. The fried chickpea balls were done perfectly. My sandwich had seven of them, along with lettuce, onions; a tahini sauce came with it and was excellent. My only complaint is that the pita was not up to par. It was a bit dry and broke apart easily. Clearly different from the thick, deliciuos pita used in the gyro. (I don't think the gyro is technically a pita, as it does not appear to have a pocket.) All in all though, it is a fine falafel sandwich, and I can think of only one other place that serves them in town.
On the next visit we ordered the fatoush salad, tabouleh salad, and our daughter had an Italian Beef. The salads were great. Fresh and delicious. The tabouleh is "greener" than many, meaning it had a lot more mint and parsley than others I've had in town, but it was excellent. It comes in a small, clear cottage cheese carton. When I saw it I wondered if it would be enough. But, being that tabouleh has so much bulgur grain, I found it ample. No need for fries with a pint of grain and veggies. The Italian Beef was large and hot and satisfying. It is thin sliced beef with au jus on the side or poured over the sandwich. I recommend you ask for it on the side for neatness if nothing else. Unlike most, the beef is not spiced, but it is delectable. The peppers are optional, which I think is rather odd for an Italian Beef, as I think the peppers are what distinguish it from a French Dip. But no matter, the taste was great. The french loaf was fresh, soft, and tasty. The au jus not salty. and the sandwich filled to the brim with beef.
All in all this is one of the best fast food options around. I wish their other locations offered the expanded menu. But I think it will be a regular stop when we are in the North Prospect area of town. I put it in the category of not worth a trip just to go there, but well worth the stop if you are in that part of town.
