My husband and I both had the chicken poor boy sandwich (with fries and soup and I can say, any poor boy I have from any other place will have VERY big shoes to fill!! (And I'm sure those shoes won't be filled!! We can't wait to go back and try something else! I highly recommend giving them a try!!

One of those things that you know isnt good for you, but you can't get enough of it. Once you finish it you wonder when will be the next time you get to experience it again. You almost wish you could vomit it back up and re eat it, no lie. It is something that belongs in the hall of the gods, it will forever sit high on the throne of poorboys. You could travel America and never find another gem quite as beautiful as a merichkas poor boy. Their staff is always easy to work with and extremely nice and cooperative. Service is always quick and friendly, take out is always hot and delicious, dining in makes you feel as if you are back at grandma's house. A feeling you can't get most places so that in its own light is extremely special. I am glad my family brought me here as a child and I still come as an adult. One day I will bring my children, LONG LIVE MERICHKAS!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, ten dollars for a McDonald's hamburger patty with cheese on subpar garlic bread? That's the kind of thing I'd expect to pay $3 for in a college town while searching for late-night snacks. For $10, I would anticipate real burger meat, all the classic toppings, and a side of fries.

Love this place, onion rings and those steak sandwiches with the garlic butterine are so good, don't see restaurants like this too much anymore, real good food. read more Love this place, onion rings and those steak sandwiches with the garlic butterine are so good, don't see restaurants like this too much anymore, real good food.
