Take It Away, Dairy Market

Don't be fooled by the name..... this is an upscale food court with lots of options..... during the brief period we were in Charlottesville we actually went twice. Members of our group tried Citizen Burger and The Pizza Restaurant. Both got high marks from our family.

While the bread on my turkey sandwich was excellent and there was an adequate amount of turkey, the cheese and romaine lettuce were paltry. But what got me the most was the price of the cheese and lettuce which differed from the posted sign. The sign said cheese was .40 and lettuce was .60 (way too high even at that price and it should have been included anyway! , yet I was charged .60 for the cheese and .75 for the lettuce!! When I questioned the cashier about this she said, ‘I’m only the cashier, I can’t change what what the register rings up.” I then suggested she tell her manager to change the posted sign. I would not purchase anything from Take It Away again.

This place is delicious, my go to spot for lunch and sometimes dinner. Not too expensive and the employees are nice.

The hot hollie is a reliable meat forward sandwich soft sub bread with generous servings of roast beef and turkey and cheddar. You won't go hungry choosing this but note that you'll have to add any veg even lettuce if you want anything other than bun, meat, and cheese. And the bacon is likely from a box. The veggie was a bit more disappointing the bread in particular was dry and couldn't hold it all together. For any sandwich make sure yours has roasted tomato, pickled peppers and extra pickles.
