| - Oh man, this stuff hit the spot for an early lunch after a night of no dinner and several hours of gambling. Really, really hit the spot. In a magazine in the hotel room, I saw a photo of their corned beef sandwich and had to have it. So we hiked over to Treasure Island, and it was well worth the trip.
You can get a few of the sandwiches in a special with fries and a soda, or straight up for about $10. They come with a crisp (but not tangy enough) pickle and a little cup of cole slaw (too sweet and bland). I got the regular corned beef sandwich, and it was awesome. Perfect, really. They have three different types of mustard on the table--yellow, sweet/hot, and deli. I got an order of onion rings also, and they were great too: A-. Big, thick-cut rings in a crispy, flaky batter. I wanted to try the "famous" bean and barley soup, but that would have been pushing my luck. I snagged a few fries from my friend, and those get a solid B+.
My friends all liked their various sandwiches too. I tried to get a chocolate custard afterwards, but they were out (sad face). I would have had a hot fudge sundae, but they were out of nuts too. I can't eat just plain vanilla yogurt! Bummer.
One other note--the counter person Raven was very cheerful, during a Saturday lunch rush in a job in which one usually finds surliness or indifference. She was upbeat and pleasant, which seems like a small thing but can go a long way.
