I was killing time in Chandler when lunch time approached and getting a sandwich was on my brain…read more Thanks to the Yelp app, I was able to find Retro's Subs & Brews and it seemed like the perfect spot to cure my itch. I was super stoked to check a place with "retro" in the name out, and I gotta be honest here, I left with pretty mixed emotions about a lot of things. The restaurant itself is pretty boring inside, mostly just being black with a few small pictures hanging up. I was kind of expecting big retro movie posters or something hanging around, but I definitely didn't get much of a retro vibe from this place minus a small neon "bar" sign and a claw machine in the corner. The menus were very cool, right by the front door its a record shelf and the records were the menus, so thumbs up for that idea. I thought i was mistaken, but I don't remember seeing sandwich prices on the actual menu, but as I look at other photos on yelp it does appear that the sandwiches don't have prices attached to them, which explains why I was thrown off by the end price. I settled on ordering the "take on me" which was black forest ham, roasted turkey, hickory smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce, and mayo on a Hawaiian style roll. I also ordered a sprite and a chocolate chip cookie as a side. The chocolate chip cookie was okay, pretty standard cookie though definitely not worth $3.75. The sprite was $2.99, and the sandwich came to $15.58. I was also charged $0.96 for something called the advantage program which I have no idea what that is. I gotta say, spending over $25 on a sandwich, a small cookie, and a drink is not something I would care to do at a place like this. The sandwich itself was very good, I won't deny that. The meat tasted fresh, and when it was all together it was definitely a good sandwich, but when there's not combo option and a basic sandwich, cookie, and drink ends up being $25 it's gonna be a no from me on returning in the future. Overall, I really wanted to love this place for the name, but the lack of much decorations and prices left something to be desired. The food itself was good, but not worth what was spent.

The Caesar salad left me quite disappointed lacking really any flavor except for the croutons which were great! The pizza was the real reason I preordered and I was not disappointed! I ordered the sausage ricotta and wow so yummy as always. I ate it for lunch and dinner!!! The tiramisu was more of a deconstructed one but the flavor was so light and fresh I loved it!! I love this place and always so excited to try new things on the menu when I get a chance!

Before even stepping into the building, I was excited because the outside looked like something from a Western movie. There was plenty of parking, and from the parking lot being majority-filled, I knew this would be a good stop. You can also see the outdoor seating from the parking lot, and it was filled with a couple families. The walk in directs you straight to the smokehouse/restaurant. You order at the counter, and then you either get a seat number and choose a seat or wait at the counter for pick up. There was a decent sized menu of bbq options, sides and drinks. The dessert display was filled with what looked to be DELECTABLE goodies! :) (this is what I'd try when I come back, FOR SURE!). I ordered the double meat platter with a half rack of ribs and brisket. The sides were chose were baked beans and Mac and cheese. The platter came with the two rolls, as well. This was to share with one other person. I'd say the ribs were okay, not my favorite! The brisket, on the other hand, had a PERFECT Smokey taste. The Mac and cheese was okay and so were the baked beans (they were super sweet, if that's what you're going for!). Add the regular bbq sauce on the side for dipping and you've got a tasty meal! After dining, we were able to go around the antique shop in the back. It was HUGE! And it kept GOING AND GOING! There here vendors of all sorts from furniture to home goods to jewelry to clothes/shoes. There's a little something for everyone here! There was even a hidden (I guess not hidden if you know about it), second hand, vintage clothing store in the very back. I didn't walk out with anything, but it was as worth the window shopping! The exit was through the antique shop near the cash wrap. Overall, the experience was lovely. The food was in the mid range for me, but I'd come back for dessert and the shopping.

I am someone who always gets the French tip when it's on the menu, so that's what I got. The French Dip was next-level good and packed with tender roast beef, melty Swiss, creamy horseradish mayo, garlic sauce, and the au jus for dipping made every bite even better. Their bread deserves its own menu and love too because it was perfectly soft with that fresh, bakery-style texture that makes a sandwich unforgettable. They have a huge lineup of hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads, and minis, but the French Dip absolutely stole the show for me. And the FREE chocolate chip cookie with your purchase? Soft, sweet, warm, and honestly the perfect ending to the meal. I also love sweets so this was a nice surprise. I'm would definitely come back for more.

Had to stop by for the viral banana coffee!…read more It's been awhile but it was busy as ever on a Sunday afternoon. There were men outside smoking and even playing guitar. I had to park behind the building. The line was about 5-7 minutes long. I thought about getting a Bahn mi but have seen recent negative reviews- reviews even that they have failed the health inspection, so I decided against it. I ordered a small banana coffee which came out to ~$7. Although my order number was 10 behind the one that was being called, my drink was ready within a minute or two. I was expecting more of a cold foam but it is straight up banana PUDDING lol. So of course banana pudding on Vietnamese coffee is delicious! It mixed well; no clumps.

We really enjoyed walking through the makeshift market of Vietnamese food items and had plenty of time to look over the selections. My wife ended up getting one of the European-style sandwiches, and I tried one of the traditional Vietnamese baguettes. Both were excellent, and the grilled pork was incredibly unique and cravable. The coffee tasted amazing, though the green tea was just average. The dining room was about half full, but there were quite a few dirty tables left uncleared. That minor detail aside, I would definitely come back just for that grilled pork. We'll see you again! .

My partner ordered a grilled cheese sandwich served with a tomato soup and she gleefully ate all in front of her. It's not often that I witness Cubanos on the menu and so that was my order served with French fries, extra crispy, please. My Cubano was near perfect let down only by sweet versus dill pickles. That's simply my personal preference and did not get in the way of my sucking down the whole sandwich and most of the fries. We will definitely return and I heartedly recommend to those who have not yet been. Cheers!

Went there in the afternoon on a beautiful day, when my own coffee shop near me was closed. There…read morewasn't very many people there, a few moms, and a nanny playing with the children outside on the grassy area, which I found to be a delightful place on a beautiful day. They did not have much to eat on a weekday other than a simple pastry or a top level of scone. It was easily one of the best scones I've had in the valley - most taste way too sweet and are not crumbly, but this was a perfect dry, crumbly, more of a traditional scone with addition of some small chocolate chips. You might find it a little bit hard to get to, but don't be discouraged, right off of William Dillard Drive... you're gonna see a church campus on the right hand side, there may or may not be a sign out there about the coffee shop, but go ahead and pull up to the campus and make a left-hand turn and follow it all the way to kind of the north... And you will see the coffee shop. It has huge windows, and garage windows. You can sit inside or outside. With summer coming I'm sure that those will be shut in the air conditioning will be running in my understanding is that they have more food on the weekends. If you have children that have some extra energy and you would love to enjoy your coffee why they kind of tumble around, outside, this is definitely the place to go. I have a friend with a one year-old and he wants to walk and move around, he's getting hard to contain for our weekly quiet coffee. I told her we drive over to the church campus to enjoy a high quality coffee prepared well

I ordered a Caramel Macchiato, my absolute favorite, and as always, it was perfectly balanced and delicious. The shop is open from Sunday to Wednesday but closes Thursday to Saturday due to church events. It's also a popular venue for weddings and large gatherings. If you're looking for a cozy spot for a special occasion or just a peaceful coffee break, this place is definitely worth checking out. As for me, I know I'll be back again soon!

So glad I stopped by wish I took a better picture of this sando. I ordered the L2 lunch combo on the menu. Words can't describe my first experience. As soon as I walked in and saw the employees hand making the break in the back I already knew what ever I was gonna order the bread was gonna be on point. The best way I can describe how I felt with the first bite of my sandwich is when Jake the dog (from ADVENTURE TIME; best show ever!!) was done making his perfect sandwich. If you don't know what I'm talking about then I'm sorry you've been living under a rock haha. Just YouTube "Jake the dog perfect sandwhich" and you'll understand what I mean. After I was done with my L2 combo, mind you I took my time with this one, I found myself tearing up from how good it was. The sandwich was on point and was a great combo with the cold brew I had. After i was done with my meal it brought a tear to my eye from the goodness I just had that I had to download the yelp app and leave a good review and to my surprise I seen a couple bad reviews. I read a couple of them and I am glad this place is still around for me to be able to give it a try. My order was out in a timely manner and food was at a good temperature. Will definitely return with my girlfriend to try out the bagels and slices along with the other cold brews they have. Great job guys
