The meals are prepared in front of you so there's no question to whether it was tampered with or done in a sanitary way. Manager is a really nice gentleman.

It has been a staple in the city for quite some time, and the owners and staff are exceptionally friendly. The menu focuses mainly on sandwiches and burgers, and they also make their chili in-house. Additionally, you can purchase salads in bulk to take home, available by the door. Over the years, we've tried nearly everything on the menu. The Cheesesteak isn't your typical Philly-style chopped version, but it's very tasty and served hoagie-style. The Reuben is packed with flavor, and the Club sandwich is enormous. Their Chicken Salad, made in-house, is one of the most popular items on the menu. The service is efficient; you place your order at the register in the back, so there isn't anyone taking orders in front. On nice days, there's outdoor seating available, and parking in the shopping center lot is a breeze. They are closed on Sundays, and it tends to get busy during peak lunch hours, but the line moves quickly, and the food is definitely worth the wait.

Of course you have to expect a bit of a wait when you come during the peak lunch hour, and it's a small spot with not a ton of seating, but we were able to sit on the covered patio and still be quite comfy, on a day with decent weather. I highly recommend this place, but be prepared to be patient trust me, the food is worth the wait.
