| - Had lunch here recently.
Overall an A-Ok! experience.
Service was very friendly and courteous with smiles all around. Location is fantastic with a nice patio outside and indoors seating arranged, well, like an upscale canteen. Bathroom facilities were sparkling clean, although I only saw two individual cubicles only. While I didn't have to wait, if there are no more bathrooms, I can see a line up if/when the place is full but I guess again, this is a semi-quick grab and go place.
Anyhow, on to food:
Roast Beef was the special and it didn't disappoint! The bread was slightly charred, just how I like it but some might have reservations, so something to consider.
Pulled Pork was actually on a burger bun. It was quite good but a tad too sweet for my taste. Overall the meat was perfectly done though.
Mushroom Soup was ok. Creamy and full of tiny bits of mushroom but I'd never pay $5 for it!
Speaking of which, the prices for the sandwiches alone are OK, but the combo (Sandwich + Soup/Salad) at $15 ($10 for Sandwich only) was a bit too much... So if you want the perfect value, go ahead and get your sandwich without a side. If you're really hungry, you're better off with two sandwiches than with a meager side. Which brings me to my other gripe: The portions! I'd have been quite happy if the portions were about 20% larger, however as it stands, they are a bit stingy for the $10 price. Everything is relative of course and I'm still quite happy with the quality of the sandwiches but slightly bigger portions would have gotten a bump in my star ratings. I do suspect they cater to a lot of business ladies here, you know, the type who eat their pizza with fork and knife! (seriously saw it happen lol) so I guess for those folks this is plenty enough.
Enough complaining from me, now go grab a sandwich. They're not perfect, but pretty darn good.
