Hmmmm. I went in here as I was short on time and right next to it – two people in there who looked like regulars – reading the menu of a different restaurant and trying to figure out what to order from the other place. (Should have been my first sign.) the sandwiches run about $4, which should have been another sign. But I was starving and running short on time before work. I got up to the counter and asked the woman “how are your French dips?” She answered with, “I don’t know, we are also out of onion.” I was like nooooooo French dip with no onion?! Dang. But decided I was too hungry to care. So I ordered it. The place doesn’t have a kitchen, right next to the counter they have a food prep area. She threw on some gloves and made my food. The au jus was nice and salty, it was good. But the dip – hmmmm. The bread was toasted and too hard, slightly burnt around the edges. The roast beef was thick and fatty. I had to take most of it off my sandwich to eat. Swiss cheese was okay but a little greasy. It was mediocre if I’m being generous. When I asked what was in the tuna sandwich she said “mayonnaise.” Boo. I love food and I’m really not picky, it’s very rare that I write a negative review, but here she is – in all her glory – the worst French dip sandwich I have ever forced myself to consume. I didn’t even finish it. Just ate enough to be sure I wouldn’t pass out at my photo shoot and left. If you want a plain old turkey sandwich than maybe, but don’t expect great things from this place. But hey, they have poker machines! :/

El Gran Cafe Castillo Menu with Prices 4435 Galleria Blvd, Birmingham

Cafe Castillo is located inside the Ashley Furniture store in Hoover. The store’s parking lot is probably the most heavily traveled non-road in the city. It is a cut-through between the Galleria fly-by and Riverchase neighborhoods, and everybody uses it. I’ve seen the sign for Castillo many times but haven’t stopped because I didn’t want to impulse buy a couch. But, a benefit to dining inside Ashley furniture is finding a comfortable chair to catch a few post-meal z’s. On my visit I tried the Asada Torta, and it was yummy. A Torta is a traditional Mexican sandwich. The bread is called bolillo, and it is a crusty, oblong shaped bun with a soft inside. The bread similar to the French bread loaf that is used to make a New Orleans’s Po’boy. The sandwich was made with bite-sized slices of marinated steak. It is topped with grilled onion and peppers, slices of avocado, shredded lettuce, tomato, and a mayonnaise spread. The sandwich was huge, and even though it was cut in half it still took two hands to handle.

Countryside Meats & Deli – Menu with Prices – 781 Highgrove Pl, Rockford

I was on the hunt for a Chicago style corned beef sandwich in Rockford. Yelp’s #1 pick was Countryside Meats & Deli. Well, Yelp, you missed the mark on that one, but Countryside is great for other things. First of all, I tried the corned beef sandwich. It tasted like a corned beef sandwich I could make at home, and not in a good way. All the ingredients were fresh and appropriate but there was nothing that would make me want to leave my house and purchase the sandwich. It also wasnt Chicago style, but that’s probably not relevant to most people reading the reviews. I also tried the daily special, which a turkey and bacon sandwich on a croissant. I liked it much more so than the corned beef sandwich. Again, simple ingredients, but the combination worked very well and I would likely get it again. Someone else ordered chilli and french onion soup and based on the smell I had to try the french onion. It is made in house and came with a small piece of toasted covered in melted cheese. The flavor of the french onion soup was AMAZING although the onions had not reduced enough. I would go back, but Yelp, this is not the place for a corned beef sandwich.

The Cheesesteak grill – Menu with Prices – 1771 S Oceanside Blvd, Oceanside

My first time here but without a doubt I’ll be back. It’s so hard to find a place that serves an authentic cheese steak sandwich out here in Cali but this place is the REAL deal! It’s located conveniently off the I-5 freeway so if you just want to grab some sandwiches and go. We pulled up and it’s a small shop located in a strip mall. Just the appearance of this place from the outside made me think this was going to be good. Inside they have a menu posted on the walls and it’s pretty simple. There is plenty of seating and a big screen TV they play sports on. I went for the cheese steak sandwich with hot peppers and a side of “Frings” (french fries & onion rings). They use ribeye steak and only grill up the meat when you order your sandwich. When my meal was ready, just looking at the sandwich I knew I had found a great place. My first bite into the sandwich let me know I was right. I can’t remember the last time I had such a delicious cheese steak sandwich and never this good here in Cali. The meat was tender and the most flavorful! Just the right amount of cheese and the sandwich bread was soft and fresh! I love a sandwich like this where there’s nothing I want to add it’s so delicious. The onion rings and french fries were also good. While I would say the onion rings were good, the fries were the best! Next time I’ll just get the fries. My friend had the garlic fries and I can only assume they were good because she ate them all up and I never got a chance to try them. If you are a fan of cheese steak sandwiches, this place is a MUST! I don’t think you’ll find a better cheese steak! I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

The Blue Light Speak Cheesy – Menu with Prices – 108 W Wilshire Ave, Fullerton

We went to The Blue Light Speak Cheesy when it was a pop-up at Dynaco. I just checked their site and it looks like they are there Mon-Fri evenings for dinner. Dynaco is a fun bar and you should check them out, too. Back to the food from The Blue Light Speak Cheesy! We popped into Dynaco because of the sign outside advertising the grilled cheese pop-up. Sooo glad we finally got a chance to check this place out because I had been lurking on their Yelp page for awhile. We settled in at a couple of seats at the bar and grabbed our drinks. We were planning on ordering some grilled cheeses already but the girl making the sammies came out and gave us samples of the Classic grilled cheese, a sharp cheddar on sourdough. It was SOOOO good. The cheese was super flavorful, perfectly melty, and the sourdough had a great lil tang to it that balanced out the heaviness of eating a cheese sandwich. Since we got a sample of the Classic, we felt like we should try something different so I ordered the French Onion and my boyfriend ordered the Outlaw. They both came with tomato soup dip, which was so delicious, by the way. The French Onion literally tasted like eating a solid version of french onion soup – which sounds like a really weird description but it was sooooooo amazing. I really enjoyed it and it was nice to have the tomato dip to sort of “change it up” and palate cleanse every so often. My boyfriend’s Outlaw was SUPER flavorful – the smoked gouda was delicious with a really strong flavor that worked really well with harissa. In fact, the French Onion and Outlaw were kind of a perfect pair to split because the French Onion was very savory and the Outlaw was like a flavor bomb. So it was perfect to eat some of one, then the other, and kind of switch back and forth. Can’t wait to try more of the sandwiches and, really, get another taste of that Classic cus it was also so good!

Fill Your Belly Deli – Menu with Prices – 282 Manor Rd, Staten Island

I was on military duties( dressed in uniform) going in for breakfast the guys made a mistake and gave someone else my sandwich and gave me his. I went back after seeing he made a mistake to get it fix. He seem annoyed. I told him what i had asked for , he said ok. Now I payed $5:25 for a bagel beef sandwich. He gave me a deef patty with no bagel . I asked wheres the bagel. He then put the beef patty on the bagel with egg that I brought back. I told him I dont eat eggs thats why I walked back to fix it. Dude started mouthing off “I dont have anymore bagels,” you change your order too much.” Went in the cash register pull the money and slap it on the counter.” ( disrespectful customer service to the ppl who support their business) if your military do not buy there. He has no respect for us who over pay for there meals.

Subway Restaurants – Menu with Prices – 3717 Las Vegas Blvd South Suite 150 Harmon Corner, Las Vegas

HORRIBLE experience here. From the minute me & my family got to ordering our food till we payed the lady was just so RUDE! We payed our food & asked for mayonnaise packets the lady says they’re all out & walks away completely ignoring the fact that we had asked for a side of it from the black containers since there was no packets, so I said it to her a little louder & she tells me to wait until she is not busy & went on to starting another customers sandwich until I repeated to her that if she doesnt have any packets I can just take a side & move on from the line & threatens me to call security to escort me out. What kind of worker is this making a big deal for a simple side of mayonnaise since there was no packets. HORRIBLE subway! Will most definitely NOT come back here again!

Hide A While Lounge – Menu with Prices – 9469 Foothill Blvd, Rancho Cucamonga

What i need to say about this Bar is that at a random decision was made last night to ask me and my friends to leave . so the weekend before we where hanging out with no problem. So the reason why we where asked to leave is because we are bikers that are in the upper age of 50 and we where told up we couldn’t be in there because we had a vest on . and too top that off i dont drink alcohol and one other member is sober also . we stick too ourselves my friends where there long before i got there and they yes they do drink . they spent there money and they where having a good time .and just so you know . bikers dont look for trubble . 9 times out of 10 its a regular civilian that causes trouble we avoid it . this is a clear sign of discrimination based on how you look . if I walked in there with plain clothes would that change who i am i am a biker and i love my life this is discrimination at its best this is not a kool bar dont get kicked out because your wearing the wrong team color

Emge’s Deli & Ice Cream – Menu with Prices – 206 Main St, Evansville

My wife and I just had a wonderful breakfast!! We went there thinking it was gonna be order at the counter, which is customary, but theyâ??re trying something new on Saturdays. They actually waited on us. My usual at any breakfast place is a Western omelet and some kinda of meat on the side, but our waitress suggested a French Toast sandwich so I got both. When I think of French toast Iâ??ve never thought of a sandwich, to my surprise the ham, egg, cheese accompanied with a side of syrup is probably the best breakfast sandwich Iâ??ve ever eaten!! WOW, definitely coming back!!

The Local Press – Menu with Prices – 276 Woodford St, Portland

I really wasn’t blown away. Walking in and placing an order for take out was incredibly awkward. The two gentlemen who took my order both kept forgetting what I ordered. I ordered an old fashion panini, a cup of French onion soup and a Nantucket nectar. Simple enough. After asking for the third time to confirm my order I pay and wait. They seemed bothered by my presence. As I get home I realize that my panini obviously looked nothing like the description. So I take a bite and was more than displeased. I went online to check the menu. They gave me a completely different sandwich called “the goodlife”. The sandwich itself was too heavy. It lacked any source of freshness or any acidity to cut through the richness of all of the ingredients. The fig jam and blue cheese were just piled into the center. The combination was way too sweet while the sandwich itself was overpoweringly salty. Super bummed out I didn’t get what I ordered. The French onion soup was disappointing. I opened the lid to find a huge curdled ball of solidified cold cheese. It was inedible. I dig past the cheese to scoop into two giant pieces of panini bread. So I basically paid 6$ for a third of a cup of soup. What little soup that was there was just okay. All together I paid 18$ and some change for a sandwich that I never wanted, a small cup of cheese, bread, onion pudding and a drink. That’s pretty pricy for the quality of the service and food I received. Overall My first impression wasn’t a good one. Not in a hurry to return.

Pendleton Carryout Co. Menu with Prices 807 Pendleton St, Alexandria

really sad to be posting this because I loved all of their food offerings when they first opened. However, over the last few months the staff has changed, the hours have changed, and so has the food quality. My boyfriend and I loved coming in in the mornings for the breakfast sandwiches. Last week, the woman at the counter yelled at my boyfriend for walking into the open door at 10:55 am because they weren’t open for another five minutes, and then curtly told him they don’t have breakfast sandwiches in, speaking as if it was his fault that he had asked. today the people at the counter had their headphones in and didnt even fully take them out to take our order. Over the past month, they didn’t have the ingredients several times, and today they gave us a sandwich that not only didn’t have the fluffy scrambled eggs we were used to, but the egg was chopped up and not fully cooked through, the cheese wasn’t melted and they were overall soggy. As for the hours, they now dont open until 11, so for breakfast we’ve been hitting up McDonalds again, because in my book, 11am is a little for a breakfast sandwich and I dont want to be walking around midday to pick up lunch in 90 degree heat. Not going back here until they get their act together and turn back into the restaurant they were when they first opened.

Sweetz Brew – Menu with Prices – 835 N Gilbert Rd Suite 101, Gilbert

I am really bummed to write this, but I went in for the first time last night, and had horrible service. I took one of my girls in to get some macarons, and we also picked up two scrunchies. They were super cute! The issue was with the poor customer service, regarding the macaron pricing. The sign said $2.50 and $5. Naturally I assumed the $2.50 was for a small one, and the $5 was for the large. However, the counter girl charged me $6.47 for one large, and tried to tell me that the $1.47 was tax. I was like “there is almost $1.50 of tax on a $5 cookie? That’s a 30% tax rate.” And she said “well I don’t know.” Another girl came up, and was very unfriendly and immediately interrupted my conversation with the counter girl. She looked at the sign, and said “they have never been $5, this sign is just wrong.” Both of them were standoffish, and abrasive, and the whole conversation left a bad taste in my mouth. If they had been friendly and nicely said “oh sorry, the sign is wrong!” I would have laughed it off, but they were so rude and kept cutting me off. Next time I want cookies, I will drive father to go straight to Decadent Macaron. I’m bummed since it’s so close, and I was hoping to find a new coffeeshop I loved, but sadly this wasn’t it.
