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.

Additionally, it is incredibly tidy and well-organized, with lots of outside seating—another fantastic feature.
