I ordered 3 reuben sandwiches and it had very little meat and a lot of sour kraut...........it used to be opposite, after all these sandwiches were $50 I feel like you don't get your moneys worth.

Great food. The wheat bread is a little dense, but the filling is spot on. The burger is very, very good. Prices are fair for what you get. The atmosphere is great as well. Overall a spot I’ll definitely visit again.

I arrived to pick up my online order of 2 Ruebens and one mint milkshake for my mother's 80th birthday! Low and behold, there was a mistake and it had been taken with another online order by mistake. They graciously paid for my children's slices of pizza while we waited and then refunded the entire order. They went above and beyond and we weren't expecting that. Anticipating needs, attention to detail and gracious with the mistake that can happen. Can't wait to return. I had heard they had the best Reubens you have EVER had and my mother agreed. Thank you for such incredible customer service.

Pretty good sandwiches but pricey. The bread is too thick for me and a little tasteless. Ingredients and toppings are good though. Poor 'flow' through the restaurant.

Kid-friendliness: 3 or 4 items on kids menu. Good american food choices.

I ordered the corned beef sandwich which is called the Uncle Billy. The sandwich was delicious. Served on a bread roll with very lean corned, beef, pickles, and mustard. I also ordered a basket of fries which were hot and crispy. The problem I had was he 20 minute wait. It was not that busy to constitute that long of a wait. There were many people working and not that many in the restaurant. There was also a drip from one of the pipes overhead which I’m assuming was the air conditioner but just the same if you’re sitting at the counter towards the left end you’re going to get wet. I would do it again, but I would order ahead because the wait is just too long.

Parking: The only parking available is street parking sort of crapshoot. Your best bet is to double park and run to get your food however it’s a very narrow street.

Just had lunch here for the first time and we all thought the sandwiches were delicious and the whopper milkshake the best. Two of us shared a fried chicken which was more than enough and one of us had the burger which was outstanding. So were the fries which were hot and crispy. While it is expensive, the quality of the food is excellent. We will definitely return.

Ok....so....anyone who has read any of my reviews know that I'm really generous with a ton of my ratings.....I had their signature sandwhich...which if I'm not sure what to get at a new place then that's what I do....or I ask them what they do well....So...the sandwhich was good. Have I had better....yup...Have I had worse....absolutelyThe bread was really good...I got it with coleslaw and pasta salad.It was what I expected.Now...here's where I have a problem.A sandwhich....two sides and an Arnold palmer....Was 25 dollars.....Dude......and it wasn't an insane size sandwhich....The Arnold palmer was a small size at a fast food place....25 dollars......It just didn't feel right.....So....if you have money to burn....want a good sandwhich.....then you should go here.And please...I'm not being mean....I just think it's a tad over priced.
