Was afraid to come to this location because of the bad service reviews I glanced through. Walked right in and it wasn’t busy at all. Glanced at the menu for a bit and they were waiting, ready to take my order. I went for the bacon, egg, and cheese on ciabatta with the egg over easy with coffee. Ordering was easy! The also have the self serve option as well with tablets waiting for you to place your order. The restaurant is also mobile order ready as well. The tables have numbers so you can order directly from the app. For it not being busy at all, coming in around 10:00am, I guess you can say it was an average wait to get my sandwich. For such a small sandwich, I was really surprised at the large plate it came on. I would have expected there was something missing from the order with so much space on the plate. As you can see in my picture of the sandwich, the egg was cooked to medium. Just only a small bit of yolk oozed out of the sandwich. The bread was nice and soft, glad I asked for the the softest bread option cause I just had some dental work done before I got here. Over all taste, not a home run for me. Don’t get me wrong, you can’t go wrong with a standard bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. But I really wanted that till to ooze out so I can use the bread to wipe the yummy told from the plate. And if I were to compare it to a McD bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit, I’d go for McD. Sorry Panera. ? Glad they didn’t go wrong with a cup of coffee. Although, I would have liked my coffee a little bit hotter. The Brew I had may have been out for a little while. It is self serve and all you can drink. So gonna grab one more cup before I leave. The place is nice. It’s a newer location, but could use a little maintaining. There’s crumbs on the floor in the dining area. I think with it being slow during this time, they have time to walk through the dining area to ensure cleanliness. It’s very spacious with a lot of seating options. Dividers are tall enough so that you have your own dining space, in some areas. As with other Paneras, it is a bus your own table, so don’t forget to bring your plates and stuff to the trash.

Mr. Deli And Mrs. Too! – Menu with Prices – 2023 Linglestown Rd, Harrisburg

I was really craving a bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich for breakfast for a change up of my Saturday morning errands routine instead of something like McDonald’s … I wanted to try something new and this was such a good find! I didn’t anticipate the location to have as much seating/dining-in space as they did, but I got my order to go at the register up front and it was a quick turnaround. The service was good friendly – and you could tell that the gentleman at the front recognized a few of the in and out-going customers. The sandwich was hot off the grill, hearty, and so good – will definitely be back! Only small downside is that I love strong-brewed coffee and I just wasn’t a fan of this specific location’s coffee that I had alongside the sandwich this morning – that’s no reason not to go there for all the other good things though!

The Blacksmith Restaurant Menu with Prices 211 NW Greenwood Ave, Bend

We had a great meal here except a few minor missteps with the food. We came on a Friday night, visiting Bend for my fiancé’s birthday. Very fine dining feel, which is exactly what we were looking for. To start, I had an old fashioned and he had a margarita, both were well poured and the margarita particularly was excellent. We had the cheese plate for the appetizer, and it was hands down the best cheese plate I have ever had. It came with several delicious cheese selections, a fruit spread, grilled bread that had the slight charred taste I love, and these amazing candied almonds. They also have delicious complimentary bread and a house made dipping sauce that was a balsamic and olive oil base and several other ingredients. It was fantastic. For our entrees, I had the pork chop, which was delicious (I do prefer bone in though and it wasn’t), came with these really yummy thick polenta fries and brussel sprouts with bacon. The pork chop was cooked perfectly. My fiancé ordered the tender rogue which was a delicious tenderloin, cooked well, but besides the steak this plate had some problems. There was too much blue cheese atop the steak and with truffle potato sauce and the balsamic sun chokes and leeks that surrounded it; they were super delicious but far too rich. For dessert, we ordered the bread pudding to go and took it back to our hotel. It was the best bread pudding I have had in awhile but we did not care for the candied bacon it came with. Felt too much like breakfast. Really good though besides that. Great service and we really had a top notch dining experience here; we will be back for sure!!

Venezia Cafe – Menu with Prices – 8503 Arlington Blvd # 160, Fairfax

Wife had to come to the neighboring office building for a Dr. appointment. Decided to check out this place for a quick bite rather than go to a franchised restaurant. Service and scene was nice. Ordered a BLT and a coffee. I knew something was off when I picked up the wrapped sandwich, and it felt like 2 pieces of bread wrapped in a napkin. I opened the sandwich and knew my prediction was correct. This bot was basically bread, lettuce, and tomato with a small side of bacon. I’m talking two strips that were broken in half. For 6 bucks. Everyone knows that a good BLT needs to be dominated by bacon crunchiness and chewiness. There was no crunch or chew to be found. The chicken sandwich was basically the same price for a full patty. This was like bacon flavored bread. I mentioned to my wife that I would still be hungry after only consuming half of the sandwich. Finished it starving. I can’t attest to the other offerings, but the blt was either overpriced or under filled.

Patticakes in the Village – Menu with Prices – 9124 SW 51st Rd B-102, Gainesville

My first time in Haile Village, I stopped here for an evening snack. They had a breakfast sandwich on the menu — eggs, cheese, and bacon on an English muffin — and being a vegetarian, I asked to have the bacon left off the sandwich. To my surprise, spinach could be substituted for the bacon, an offer that I accepted without hesitation (spinach on a sandwich with other rich, flavorful ingredients is basically tasteless; adding it is a way to increase the healthiness of the meal without sacrificing taste). The sandwich was reasonably priced, about $5, and ready in only a few minutes. It was hot, tasty, and something I’d definitely order again. The dining area was comfortable, and a water cooler by the counter allowed me to refill my glass at will (it was nice not to repeatedly have to ask a server for more water, a tiresome routine at most restaurants). Employees were friendly, the bathroom was clean, and I really can’t think of anything to complain about. I was there in the early evening, just before sunset, and there was no line at the counter or lack of seating in the dining area. I would recommend this cafe to anyone, and will visit again next time I find myself in the Village.

The Mug Shot Coffee and Eatery – Menu with Prices – 205 S Sierra St #104, Reno

A little conflicted about this place. I like the location and the decor/ambiance inside. Seems like a place you could hang out in for a while and do work or chat casually with friends. Not super crowded both times I’ve been there, which is nice. Per the name, there are lots of mugshots of celebrities on the wall, which is fun. The have a mix of breakfast and lunch items, but the emphasis seems to be on breakfast. They have a super fun waffle/oatmeal/yogurt toppings bar with a lot of options. They also have a lot of options for coffee and tea. The one thing I don’t like is there isn’t a great option to just get a simple breakfast sandwich, like egg and cheese on bread. Their breakfast sandwich comes with meat and avocado on the choice of a bagel/croissant, which is lovely if that’s what you’re looking for but I’m a simple girl (and vegetarian) and don’t need all that stuff on my sandwich. Unfortunately they charge you the same price either way, so it ends up being $9 just for an egg and cheese on bread, which is kind of crazy. I can literally walk a block away and get an egg/cheese on an English muffin for $3. Also there is a discrepancy between the menu and what’s in their POS system because the menu board says $8 for a fully loaded sandwich and the system rings it up at $9, which I pointed out to the cashier. I think I’d come back again if I’m looking for a big fancy breakfast, but this unfortunately won’t be my go to daily breakfast spot, which is a bummer because I literally work a block away.

Pho Tre Bien Cafe – Menu with Prices – 12302 Montana Ave #502, El Paso

So i really wanted to give this place 4 stars at least but i both me and my husband agree that the banh mi and the small bowl of pho that comes with the pho and banh mi combo are just not as good. I am however super impressed by their options and based it off a cafe theme with their nice spread of desserts and coffee. I tried their japanese cheesecake to go a while ago and although tasty, it was a bit too dry and thrist inducing for my liking. They also have this nice brunch option of skillets and this is where they offered half a bahn mi and a mini pho bowl option. It can only have the special viet ham banh mi for this option which i can understand why. It wasnt my favorite choice of meats. I was at least able to get the brisket option for my mini pho bowl but there wasnt much meat neither compared to the 5$ mini bowl options at the other locations. My husband stuck to his beef banh mi as usual. He did not like how the bread was prepared here. It was too toasted to the point of stabbing himself on his lips from the bread. Perhaps they needa make sure they dont use bread thats too dried out already. Well they also offer military discounts on Monday at least so maybe if we would be in the area that day, we may go back.

Planet Grilled Cheese – Lakeland Square Mall – Menu with Prices – 3800 US Hwy 98 N, Lakeland

I came here due to a recommendation by a buddy who used to work here. I was a bit iffy, but since I was in the mall anyway I figured I would stop by. First off, the owners were really nice, just cool and accommodating. I ask to modify my sandwich midmake and they did. (Tip: ask for what you want on the sandwich, it like a grilled cheese Subway, also ask for mozarella and Nutella, it’s incredible). The sandwich was really good, great crust, super cheesy and hot. I got the Mac n cheese fries with bacon and they did not disappoint. I couldn’t ask for a better lunch and then I found out they deliver too through takeouthero. Don’t skip this place, check it out you’ll be glad you did.

Middle Ages Licensed Location @ Hancock International Airport – Menu with Prices – Hancock International Airport, Syracuse

This is the only sit-down restaurant option in the left wing terminal where American Airlines and Frontier is. The waitress cleaning the table saw me enter and stand there waiting to be seated but she didn’t bother to address me until I approached her after waiting for her to wipe 4 more tables. I guess it is a self-seating type of establishment. There is a bar area and also sit-down seating. They have breakfast options that only last until 10:30 AM. I ordered a caprese sandwich and paid an extra $3 for grilled chicken. This brought the sandwich up to $17. The bread on it was ciabatta and it wasn’t very toasty aside from a small section of the corner. The sandwich seemed to be microwaved because the tomato slice inside was soggy and the mozzarella cheese inside was melted. There was no basil so it didn’t taste the way I expect caprese to taste. When you think of caprese, you think of fresh mozzarella and tomato rather than melted cheese and cooked tomato. I was underwhelmed by the sandwich and its lack of vegetables. There was a sun dried tomato paste inside that was alright. It came with a pickle slice and a side of salty chips. It would have been nice to have an option to substitute the potato chips with a salad instead. One waitress took my credit card and brought me back my check and a 2nd waiter took the card again and was about to charge it a second time before I intervened. I think their breakfast items might be a better option. I noticed that a lot of folks here ordered salads. It may be a good spot to grab a beer but it wasn’t a great option for a caprese sandwich.

Einstein Bros. Bagels – Menu with Prices – 2900 East Airport Drive Terminal 4 – Gate 407, Ontario

Gmornin folks. So here we go already this morning… 3am wake up, turn in rental, hop shuttle to Airport, check in, navigate security and here I am…. Notice no mention of Bfast… due to hotel and its proximity to AP and the early hour, I was relegated to ONT finest… errr whatever was open at 0430…. ok, so Einstein Bros. Bagles… what could go wrong. Store, clean, bright, inviting and 8m all set for some food. The line is about a 15-min wait unless you are snooping and notice the self service Kiosks at the register… that’s a dumb place to place them as the congestion doesnt make it easy to access and there are no signs… Also, anyone who has read a few of my reviews knows I refrain from doing other people’s jobs lest I getting a discount for doing so…. I get ample time to formulate my order, rehearse in my head so i am clear for the server at the register. I notice that their POS system is having real issues with 5 of 6 folks. Damnit I get to the counter and i am greeted by a lady who just assumed the position 30-sec prior after relieving what i will assume is an off going staffer. Anyhew, I ask her for my rehearsed order as follows: “May I please have the single egg six cheese bacon and cheddar Bfast sandwich (it’s how it’s written on the menu) and an everything bagel toasted with butter and a schmear of onion and chive cream cheese.. ” Server calls back to me my order in an effort to confirm correctness… “I have a Applewood smoked bacon egg and cheese sandwich and an everything bagle………” wrong. I tell her no, and I repeat my order as previous… “May I please have the single egg six cheese bacon and cheddar Bfast sandwich (it’s how it’s written on the menu) and an everything bagel toasted with butter and a schmear of onion and chive cream cheese.. ” Server says yeah, it’s called an Applewood smoked bacon egg and cheese sandwich… Me… “maam, I want that sandwich there” as I point to the pic on the menu… I read the name off the board to her and she again repeats her Applewood smoked bacon egg and cheese sandwich and I say “May I please have the single egg six cheese bacon and cheddar Bfast sandwich” irritated by the seemingly obvious misconception communication I pay, take my receipt and go to the holding area for incorrect order delivery. Oh yeah, the POS… faithful to its initials, it is a real POS and I dont mean point of service/sale…. Finally clear and now the wait… Food comes quickly and piping hot… I peer in the bag and see my everything baggle peering back and a foil wrapped packet which I assume is my “May I please have the single egg six cheese bacon and cheddar Bfast sandwich” I depart and head out of the shop for my gate to eat, relax and prep for boarding… I figure I’ll save the everything for the flight later and eat the piping hot sammy in the foil packet…. you may recall it’s a “single egg six cheese bacon and cheddar Bfast sandwich” ****WRONG**** I got the plain bagle, bacon and egg sandwich vice what I ordered… As I pondered taking it back I look to the 15 minute line and notice it’s now likely a 20 min line as folks are lined up into the concourse now… the POS maching must really be acting up. Or the not so cordial/kind lady behind the counter is continuing to aggravate folks by changing their order… So, the good…. the plain bagle, bacon egg and cheese sammy wasn’t horrible but damn… it wasn’t what I paid for nor asked for.

Harvest Moon Bagel Co – Menu with Prices – 47 N Queen St, Lancaster

Harvest Moon Bagel is just a few blocks down from the convention center, making it an attractive option for a quick breakfast. Interior is small with some seating, but becomes hard to access they are crowded. There is really nowhere to stand for people waiting. Menu includes bagels, sandwiches, and pastries with some vegan options. Various beverages are available in the cooler. Ordered a Classic Egg and Cheese with Bacon on a plain bagel, no cheese. The bacon immediately raises the price of the sandwich to $7. I did receive my order in a reasonable amount of time with how busy they were. This sandwich left a lot to be desired and was small. The bagel wasn’t good, had poor taste, and was too chewy with the toppings adding no flavor. I’ve had better at Burger King, McDonald’s, and my local bagel place. The orange juice while expensive was good. For over a $10 breakfast, I wouldn’t return here.

Vines & Hops – Menu with Prices – 4216 N Brown Ave, Scottsdale

First off, we drove 45 min (from Litchfield Park) just to come to this place… and it was worth it!! The food is just soooooo good. The burrata and pesto platter was everything you’d want it to be; I am a pesto snob and I could have eaten it with a spoon! My husband said the veggie sandwich (with goat cheese, hummus, and pesto was literally the best sandwich he’s ever had. (And believe me, he’s had his share of great sandwiches!) We shared everything we ordered and my favorite was the meat and cheese platter (chorizo was nice quality – num!). I also nibbled on the bread and jams plate… nice for dessert. I ordered the V&H wine flight and the red blend was my favorite – very plummy and drinkable. So delish that I ordered a glass of it and shared it with my hubby. Lastly, everyone was welcoming and the ambiance was really nice and casual. Would love to sit out on the patio when it’s a bit cooler. One suggestion: forget the crackers and serve your bread with the platters . 7/22/19 Update Went back again and sooooo bummed to see that the veggie sandwich is no longer on the menu… ugh!! Please bring it back… it really sets you guys apart from the rest!

O’Brien’s Bistro – Menu with Prices – 4350 Bayou Blvd, Pensacola

The outward appearance of this restaurant does not accuratly reflect whats inside. I thought this was a regular run of the mill place to get a quick bite after a long flight, but I was totally wrong. This is a fine dining establishment in every way shape and form. I was wearing shorts and a tshirt and felt under dressed. I sat outside since it was such a nice day out. My waitress brought out some water and some biscuits and butter. These.biscuits. I dont know What blend of herbs and spices they put into these things, but these biscuits! They are an experience in themselves, make sure to ask for them when you go. Aside from the biscuits, I had a salad which, you know, a salad is a salad. Dont get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with it, but at the end of the day a salad is still a salad. With such a wide array of options across the three menus (brunch, lunch, dinner) there is something for everyone, so stop by and checknit for yourself.
