You order first and then find a seat, so it's a little bit of a shuffle, but the woman behind the counter was genuinely helpful with recommendations and what's popular. And once we ordered, the food came out pretty fast. We kicked things off with the Big Dill appetizer, and when they say "giant," they're not kidding. It's a comically large pickle, seasoned up and cut into four spears. The seasoning was actually really good, nice flavor, the right amount of spice. I'll be honest: I'm not a huge pickle person, so I didn't fall in love... but if you are a pickle person, this is absolutely your moment. I tried the brunch burrito and it was a solid portion, filling, well-built, and the avocado salsa helped a lot (I was using it like a cheat code). The only reason I wouldn't come back specifically for that burrito is the flavors didn't really pop for me, and I wished the potatoes had more crisp and there was more seasoning on the eggs. It wasn't bad at all just not a "I'm still thinking about this tomorrow" type of burrito. The drinks though? Really unique, I had the French toast latte and the banana hazelnut latte, and they serve them in this super cool commercial can sealer setup. It's such a clever touch as if your coffee came with packaging confidence. Better yet, the lattes were actually delicious and you could taste the quality of the beans underneath the flavors. We also tried the Philly cheesesteak, and it's a BIG sandwich on what tastes like a homemade sesame hoagie. The "shaved ribeye" looked more like finely chopped/ground ribeye, but honestly... it worked. It tasted great with the cheese sauce and hit the spot. The fries that came with it were steak fries, cooked to perfection, with a few extra-crispy pieces mixed in (which is basically the fry jackpot). And then there was the avocado + burrata bagel... which might be the best bagel I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. The everything bagel was fresh, toasted perfectly, and the toppings blended together so well that every bite somehow got better than the last. I also tried the lox and it was worth the money, generous smoked salmon, capers, tomato, the whole deal. Bottom line: there's a lot to love here, and it's going to take me a few more visits to work through all the menu items that look worth trying. Come hungry, expect a line at peak brunch, and don't leave without that avocado burrata bagel (and maybe one of those sealed lattes, because it's just fun).

Was warned by staff it was very spicy but I thought it was delicious and not too spicy for me. It was huge and I could only finish half. My friend ordered the single burger and fries and said it was the best burger she ever had.

With so many choices in the area, I would definitely go back.

I'd heard about this place when I was at Salt & Straw in Tempe a few months ago. They have a…read morelocation near there and closer to me in the formerly PV mall area. I was in the mood for cheesy goodness so I checked out their menu. If you sign up for their rewards program, you get free fries. So I signed up! I also got their side of mac & cheese since I wasn't in the mood for a full portion. I ordered online and drove over. I found parking in front of the restaurant and headed inside. Only a few people dining inside with plenty of seating. I picked up my order from the register and headed home. I ordered their garlic Parmesan fries and they were tasty. Topped with their Melt sauce, Parmesan cheese and garlic, it was flavorful but almost too much. Very salty which I usually appreciate but I ended up mixing in the leftover topping to my pasta. The mac & cheese was cheesy and good, it hit the spot. Their menu offers burgers, sandwiches, and other items that look interesting. I'd be down to try this spot again.

It said it came on a French baguette- not so much. It was on more of a tough, chewy French roll. The roast beef was unremarkable. I ordered the garlic sauce on the side. Glad I did, as I didn't care for it but that would be a matter of personal taste. You can also choose a remoulade sauce if you like dill. I was disappointed, overall.

I went to Rinaldi's Italian Deli because they claim nobody beats their Italian subs. Unfortunately,…read morethat was not my experience. For $15, the sandwich I received had very little meat, as you can see in the photo. It was mostly bread, lettuce, and peppers, with only a couple thin slices of meat. An Italian sub should be generously filled, especially at this price point. I have had Italian subs at many different places, and Rinaldi's would rank at the bottom for me. The overall experience did not help matters. While I was there, the owner was sitting on his phone and did not greet or acknowledge customers coming in. My sandwich was made extremely fast, which made it feel rushed rather than prepared with care. When I got home, I realized they also forgot the mayo entirely, which added to the disappointment. That said, I did eat the sandwich. The meat itself seemed to be good quality, the bread was decent, and the photos from back east on the walls were welcoming and gave the place some character. The girls at the counter were also friendly which was a plus. Even with those positives, this visit did not come close to matching the reputation they advertise. Based on the quality, service, and value, I would not order an Italian sub here again.
