Blink and you'll miss this cute, pint-sized restaurant right in the mix in downtown Mesa. If you want to live your best sandwich life, you're going to want to make a u-turn and come back.
I'm taking the scenic route through their sandwich list and so far have had the cuban, reuben, veggie and crispy chicken. The veggie I ordered on a whim, honestly not expecting much from a protein-less sandwich, but the combinations of crunchy slaw and creamy sweet potato left me feeling satisfied and as full as another protein-centric sandwich would. I think the cuban still holds steady as my favorite. THE PICKLES. Don't get it without the pickles because that would be dumb. They make them in house and sell them by the jar and the only reason I haven't bought them is because I know that the full jar would be consumed on the car ride home.
Worth's efforts to source locally make it easy to feel good about eating there. They work with mostly local vendors for everything from their bread, coffee, and dairy (Danzeisen-if you have not had their milk, run don't walk to get some). It's a place that takes pride in being local and I love that.
The customer service is here is really great. Kelsey always remembers my name which is a big deal to me since I frequently encounter having my name mispronounced, misspelled and am always asked "do you have a nickname so I can remember it?" It only took a couple of visits for Kelsey to remember my name and I always get the Norm of Cheers experience when I walk in.
Worth is a great place for a casual lunch in a cool space with some of the best service in the Phoenix metro area.
