    Needed to stop at Brewers the other day and figured I'd grab dinner from Cravings. I've always been a fan, but forget about this place. It was great to see everyone working following CDC guidelines. There were about 7-8 employees working and all of them wore their masks correctly and wore gloves. All of the tables have been pushed to the side (no dine-in) and signage was clearly posted. Plexi at the register and no one waiting inside. Consistently good food and equally great customer service.

    Back in the day I used to frequent Cravings at least once a week. When I'd recommend them to others I'd always say just don't look around, as the food was always great but the kitchen and dining area a mess. I always found pick up to be sloppy and unorganized and usually involved some confusion and yelling in Greek. But the food was always delicious. I "craved" it and could overlook the flaws. Fast forward 15 years. I no longer frequent that area as much as I did and hadn't ordered from them in as many years. Some errands lead me in that direction at lunchtime and I remembered fondly the fries on their sandwiches and how much I loved them. I hoped that my recent visit would reignite the love I once felt. And it didn't disappoint. I was so smitten that a few days later I wanted to order again, only they're closed on Sundays. Bummer! While their menu changed slightly my favorites were still available, including my favorite the #2. The boardwalk fries added to the sandwich were still the same and continues to take this sandwich to the next level. The addition of a side of pickle fries (not available years ago) is a must order and also did not disappoint. My only complaint was a spicy aoli dripping sauce would have been a better compliment than plain ranch. While the kitchen has cleaned up the chaos and confusion still appears to be present behind the counter. Considering I placed my order when they first opened - for pick up an hour and 15 minutes later- during my hurried lunch hour, it still wasn't ready when I got there. I waited about 5 minutes when they were completely empty as I take lunch before it's customary. Not a horrible injustice but time is valuable, especially when you need to get back to work. After all these years it was disappointing to see that very little in that area has improved. I still recommend take out over dining in as the dining area is nothing to look at and only brings to light the hodgepodge of activity behind the counter. The pickle fries, a must!

    I ordered the Bacon & Blue Burger and the Kiddie Korner Chicken Fingers to go. The burger was underwhelming - the bacon was a nice portion, but there was too much cheese for the thin, relatively dry patty and lackluster bun. The Chicken Fingers meal was worse. I understand it is intended for children. The girl for whom I ordered it was disappointed. The fries were shriveled and dry. She said the chicken fingers tasted alright but they were small and, again, tasted *alright*. Perhaps I should have ordered a sub or cheesesteak. I may try again next time I'm in town.

    Let me just say... yum yum yum .. the bread is perfect .. not soggy.. flavorful .. delivery was pretty prompt!! Very happy right now!!

    Cravings... yes. You will have many, many cravings for their food once you've had it. I love the zucchini sticks... sooo good *wipes drool* Tried a few different sandwiches, a different one each time I've gone. Each time... very tasty and fresh. Customer service is a lil' "hit or miss"... Some of the guys seem a lil' more preoccupied with what's on TV than the fact that you're slightly confused and may have a question or 2. I think there should be more than one napkin dispenser... but... that's neither here nor there, I guess? Seating is comfy. I like that there is a choice of 2 different areas. I'd give 5 stars, but I think their customer service needs a lil' work. Other than that, the food is fresh, crisp, and tasty. The restaurant is also, always (in my experiences) clean... which is a definite PLUS.

    Antonia is lovely! You can always count on fresh ingredients from Central Market, a smile on her…read moreface and delicious food. I recommend getting there before noon. The shop is tiny and the line builds quickly. She does not get flustered by the line and will take her time to make sure she preps every order the right way, so if you are in a rush, don't bother. Most of the folks are regulars and she knows all by name and typically the persons 'usual.' I can never pass up the rice crispies. So soft and buttery, melt in your mouth! Definitely a gem in the city!

I had the prosciutto & portobello panini with arugula salad and biscotti, and my wife had the homemade tomato bisque soup, market salad and biscotti. The food was perfect, as were the portions and we have definitely been won over, not only by the food, but also by the owner Antonia, who is both friendly and charming. This is a small shop that offers homemade soups, salads, paninis and sweets for takeout. The menu is small and varies from day to day, but you won't be disappointed. Antonia uses locally sourced goods, artisanal breads, greens and vegetables, even the portobellos are grown locally. This is a plus not only because everything is so fresh, but it also helps the local economy.

I told my wife, let's break tradition and serve something different for Thanksgiving. Instead of a supermarket ham, let's buy a smoked ham from the Amish country. I found online S. Clive Weaver. I called the store and spoke with the manager. I asked about the store hours as well as Thanksgiving Ham. (I'm thinking it's going to be a blood bath, 1000 people running into the store screaming HAM!) The manager assured me this is not the case, there will be plenty of boneless, smoked ham for us to choose. We pulled up to, it seems like a mini supermarket. Once inside, it felt like when the Wizard of Oz went from Black & White to color. There is EVERYTHING one would need for a holiday dinner. The first thing I noticed was the beautifully arrangement of baskets. There were multiple sizes of meat and cheese baskets, I never had a sweet salami? The blocks of cheese, were cubed and served to our Thanksgiving guests. Everyone loved the unique flavors that are not regional to where I live. They also had a pie station with many different flavors of homemade pies. I brought home a Shoo Fly Pie? Filled with the warm spices of the holiday, another hit with my Family. Now for the Ham, there was a wall of ham! Ham everywhere. I chose a hefty porker, it was very easy to cook. Again, everyone loved the flavor of the smoked ham that I snuck across state lines. S. Clive Weaver, it was a pleasure to shop at your establishment.

    Isaac's has the nostalgic sports bar, Jason's deli-type feel. Order to-go, snag a table, or pull up…read moreto the bar - there's nothing fancy or formal about Isaac's. We popped in on a Saturday afternoon for a laidback lunch. Had it not been 100+ degrees outside, we might have opted for one of their alfresco tables. Alas, we decided on our customary bar stools. There were only a few other patrons around, and the bar was completely empty. The draw to this specific Isaac's is their house beers. I wasn't expecting much, to be completely honest. I'm no beer snob, but I know my way around a brew, and I just expected a mediocre experience given the deli-vibes. I was very pleasantly surprised by, not just the selection of beers, but the quality of the ones we tried. I had a pilsner - those can be a hit or miss. This was a homerun. Maybe it was the sweltering heatwave, but it was cold, refreshing, and no bitter aftertaste. I ordered a turkey, swiss sandwich on a pretzel bun. The menu didn't indicate it would be served warm, but it was. I'll never complain about melty cheese! Who doesn't love a pretzel bun? The location is right downtown, so parking is a toss-up. We opted for a nearby garage. There were about 8 people working in the kitchen, but there was only one person tending bar. She was super nice and helpful!
