| - With Sucker Punch Sally biting the big one in just a few months, I'm a bit cautious to give my heart away to another new place on Mill. I don't want to get burned again.
That said, we gave Stan's the opening day try today. It was definitely... opening day. The staff was friendly, but everything was a bit chaotic as they're still getting their sea legs under them.
Our sandwiches came out with the wrong bread on them, but that was quickly addressed and taken care of, no big deal, and our waitress Lindsay was extremely nice.
While things were a bit crazy, everyone was making sure we were taken care of, and we had management and waitresses alike visiting regularly to keep on top of things.
I had the roast beef sandwich with lettuce, mayo, and provolone. The roast beef was nice and rare, and the sandwich was overall quite tasty. It was pretty loaded down with meat, which helps against the $9 cost. That $9 is about on par with Chompie's, who sells a sandwich loaded with even MORE meat for about $11 and a half for $8.
The fries were decent, but definitely of the frozen variety, so nothing to sneeze at there. My friend had the pastrami on onion roll and seemed to enjoy it. He also took down a chocolate milkshake and a slice of chocolate cake that was massive and dense in a way few cakes I've tried are. VERY good cake. (Though they should track down the pie chef from Sucker Punch and have her come in for pie, as they offer none and Sucker Punch's pies were simply the best I had EVER had, ever.)
I wasn't terribly impressed with my macaroni salad, but it's macaroni salad--I don't know where you go to make it fantastic, you know?
I'm going to give these guys another couple of weeks to get the swing of things and give it another shot. They have a bunch of stuff on the menu I'm happy is in walking distance from my office, like a basic egg salad, grilled cheese, tuna salad, regular salads, burgers, pizzas, deli sandwiches, and breakfast served all day--no launching with a half or partial menu at all, which I take to be a good sign.
The staff is very friendly and they seem to really want to hit the ground running. They're also open til 10 every night and til midnight on weekends, which is pretty darn wise of them. Rumor has it, they'll be adding some form of alcohol by September, so we'll see how that rolls. I'd be surprised if they didn't extend to stay open for the last call crowd once school starts up.
Overall, a good experience with friendly people, and I'm betting it only gets better.
