“Went by Critics Choice this afternoon for lunch.Yep. It’s a good choice.I love the retro feel of the place.It’s a family-run business with a waitress whom I wish was everywhere i went. (Very, very dry humor, but not sarcastic. Very kind lady)It was a quiet afternoon in downtown Alexandria and we were the only customers at that time.It’s a sandwich shop.But, oh yes, these folks know how to make sandwiches.My club sandwich on rye was exactly that.Very good meats and a smooth creamy cheese, with crisp cold lettuce, tomato, with just enough mayo on toasted rye.Skyler had a yummy roast beef sandwich with gravy (on a kaiser roll).Stephanie’s corned beef looked phenomenal.We requested an order of fries. When crinkle fries are cooked just right, they are crisp, light, and stay good even as they cool. Yes, those are the fries we had. They call them ‘freedom fries.’ And it felt like freedom indeed from all the wanna-be fries that i’ve had.And Elijah’s personal pan pepperoni pizza looked perfect. Not too dark or too light. Well cooked food for a growing boy.The hot tea we had was perfectly brewedIf you go, expect a good sandwich in an atmosphere from the last century.Leave knowing you have just had a very good sandwich with a nice relaxed atmosphere in a family run business which cares about the quality of their food and the comfort of their customers.Yep, i’m going back.PS: When i spoke to the sweet owner, she did mention that she loved collecting clowns.Actually, there was memorabilia from several different genres.A little Disney, a little of the Hollywood stars from the 50’s, a holiday tree, beautiful holiday wreath, some gorgeous dolls, and a few clowns.The room was large enough that it didn’t seem oppressive.?Vegetarian options: Although this is a sandwich shop with good meats and cheeses, i did see a veggie only sandwich in the style of a Philly cheese steak sandwich.Parking: Street parking around the corner; also a parking lot right past the stop light.Kid-friendliness: Relaxed atmosphere with room between the tables. Several food options available.Wheelchair accessibility: Easily wheelchair accessible“
“every year we sent Holidays Pecans to multiple family and friends. everyone loves them. this year I've tried every type of search to find them, as they no longer use the distribution website Id always used. I'm so excited to find their website. this company makes a product you can be proud to give, even better to have at home!, YUM“
“Excellent food, priced right! The muffuletta was delicious. Perfect amount of olive salad on a French Bread loaf pressed with meats and cheeses that melted in my mouth!..Finished lunch with Almond Bread Pudding that was so good I will definitely so back soon to try the Mardi Gras version!“
