    Meatloaf sandwich combo
    Justin V.

    Very nice people making some great food! Meatloaf sandwiches was on point and the service was excellent. All made to order so garb a seat and wait for the goods!

    I didn't go in, but the outside is so cute, inviting you to their kitchen! Catfish delicious, breading NOT SALTY, you really taste the cat.. nice flavor of hot sauce, amazing coleslaw w/beautiful mayo/vinegar flavor, hush puppies bomb AF, almost like butter, mac and cheese, exactly like Grandma makes it... The greens are grown by there own hands, and were amazing! Tender w/a little bite, Not Glory greens! It's made to order, so you wait a few minutes, but well worth it! Fair price, large portion. I will be back! Ty for the hospitable service as well!

    I'm gonna get some of this for home!

    This is a quick-service soul food restaurant. They just opened about 5 weeks ago, and there were a couple bumps in the ordering process, but everything else was amazing! It's a TINY lobby, with one high and 2 low 4-toppers. It's divey but new and clean. Counter service had a hiccup with the PoS system, but it all got sorted quickly. Food was served VERY quickly - I had the "A minor" ribeye sandwich. It was AMAZING! They also have a small selection of hot sauces, and I tried the Tabasco sweet & spicy, which added a great extra dose of flavor. Totally not needed, but just extra zing. The staff was very friendly, asking each customer his things were. I have high hopes for this place, and even though 4 miles is at the edge of my lunch range, I will definitely be back!

    So glad we happened to be in the area and tried this place for lunch. The restaurant has a very…read moreJapanese feel to it. You place your order on the tablet, there is just one guy working in there who makes the food and places it on the counter. The decor is simple and just right. The food is the best food ever! I had the rice paper wrap with tofu in it. I could only eat half as I was so full. The seasoning on the fries is so good.. and the cucumber salad was top notch. Even the drinks in the cooker area were very interesting that I had never seen before. It's very clear that this is a very well thought out restaurant. The only feedback I would give is to add a couple of options for vegan gluten free in the menu. My wrap had to be customized and communicating with the chef was a bit of a challenge due to language.

    Zenwich - Tasty Food, Lacking Warmth…read more My family and I recently visited Zenwich and tried a little bit of everything--two sandwiches and two rice bowls. Let's start with the good: the sandwiches were delicious, with standout bread that really elevated the meal. While I wouldn't go out of my way to make a special trip just for them, they were definitely enjoyable and well-executed. The rice bowls earned a solid 7.5 from my husband and son. Flavorful and filling, but maybe missing that little extra something to make them truly memorable. Where Zenwich unfortunately fell flat was the customer service. We visited around 5 PM on a Friday and there was only one person working. Not only were we not greeted when we walked in, but we stood at the counter for several minutes without even being acknowledged. I even saw another customer politely thank the staff member after asking for a napkin, and he didn't so much as look up in response. It left the whole experience feeling impersonal. If the service matched the quality of the food, this would've easily been a four-star visit. With just a bit more effort in the hospitality department, Zenwich could really shine.

At first, I was disappointed they didn't have Chicago Italian beef. So I asked what they would recommend, and the very polite lady behind the counter said, "You should try my meatball sub." I laughed and told her, "I don't know... my late grandma (100% Italian) made the best meatballs ever, but alright, let's do it." Then she asked, "Do you want peppers?" and of course my reply was, "Heck yeah!" She chuckled. When the sub came out, I have to say, it was huge. I sat down, took one quick smell and a bite... BOOM. I was instantly transported back to my grandma's kitchen, eating Saturday pasta and meatballs. I highly recommend checking this little gem out. The service, the atmosphere, and especially the food were all amazing. I definitely was not disappointed. P.S. Don't skip the desserts -- once again, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the memories and the great experience!

So I had to find a new Italian deli in the area and this place had an authentic Italian sub on the menu with prosciutto, Genoa salami, capicola, provolone cheese, Italian dressing, lettuce and tomato that I added raw onions, hot giardiniera and mayo. It's a deli/mini mart/gambling machine/cafe with friendly service. The meats were skimpy was my first thought, see my pictures. My first thought after taking the first bite was WOW this Italian hoagie bread was perfect/fresh with that great chew/pull. Even with the skimpy meat the whole combination with me tweaking the sandwich was so fu#king delicious I got a second one to take back to WI for dinner. The area probably has a better Italian deli the residents will tell you but I'm in town once a year so next year I will try another Italian deli until I find one to start a new tradition like my old friend for many years that is no more. My final thought is that the price point is similar to the chain sub restaurants with a high quality sub sandwich and why anyone in the area that goes to a chain with this gem is beyond me because they do an authentic Italian sub very well.

Got the trinity and a 1/4 chicken with the slaw and rice (I haven't had rice in a bit. My genes were craving it). Off menu they added some slices of pork steak on as a free treat. And that probably was my favorite item. A wonderful sticky pork steak where it ate similar to a beef cheek. A slightly sweet honey(?) glaze. Who needs chapstick when you got these. The ribs also had a slightly sweet glaze that gave a great competition style bite. Very meaty on top. I always fall back and forth on if I prefer full spares vs St. Louis cuts and today I'm a StL guy. The heat and spice level for the sausage today was nice and I'm taking bites in my hotel room while typing this. The 1/4 was Smokey but the skin was a little tough. Tho still flavorful and idk why but the sauce that came with it gave me some graham cracker vibes that I'm all for with how good it was. I kinda got distracted by a bird outside rather than the one on my platter so I wasn't fully paying attention. lol. A nice crunchy black pepper bark on the brisket with a moist interior. I love the contrast of texture it brings. I'm stoked about finding and stopping by Golden Boy Barbecue today. Especially because I totally spent at least an hr. Maybe a little more talking about bbq around TX and rest of the states with Joey there.
