| - Carmella's is pretty good for a lunch stop. I've been here at least three times, and counting, during my lunch hour. It's quite close and service moves quick enough for the allotted lunch hour that so many of us are limited to. They recently updated their menus to a large 11x17" size front and back with thick, strong lamination - a much needed improvement. And they fill that menu top to bottom on both sides with lots of tasty options.
The food selection isn't especially unique, though perhaps it is harder to find. The salads with grilled chicken are usually piled high and they're not your everyday bland salads with just three toppings (iceberg, tomatoes and cheese). They actually give a healthy helping of mozzarella cheese, big slice of tomato, a banana pepper, a whole slice of green bell pepper, thinly sliced red onions, cucumbers and more (depending on which specific salad you order). I've seen co-workers order the meatball subs which are weighed down with giant meatballs and a pile of marinara. I recently had the black bean burger. Like a heathen I brought insult to vegans everywhere and had them add bacon. It was a seriously good sandwich considering the price of less than $9.
The service can be spotty here though. Out of the three times I can clearly remember visiting this restaurant, twice I've had the wrong thing placed in front of me when it came out. And as I mentioned above it comes out quick enough for lunch hour but it can also push it a little close to the cut. Nonetheless, I will definitely be coming back several times for lunch!
