They changed their meatballs about 2 years ago. They kind of suck now. They are very dense and pasty. They used to be softer and clean on the pallet with better taste. I wouldn't be surprised if they began buying them from outside like they did for their disintegrating sub rolls. read more

I still remember having my first D'Atri's cheese steak sub more than 30 years ago. It was delicious. The one I had yesterday was just as tasty. D'Atri's uses chopped ribeye that is grilled perfectly with onions. It is then served on a fresh Italian roll with provolone cheese and Miracle Whip. Of course, the best part is the signature seasoned lettuce that is placed on top. I also appreciated the friendly service. read more

D'Atri's Restaurant - Cheese steak - Sandwiches Near Me - La Vale, Maryland

I have been away from the area since the end of 2013. I am thankful that D'Atr's restaurant is still kicking. Oh, how I missed those Cheese steaks with sweet and hot peppers. The seasoned lettuce is always perfection. Love the onion rings. The deserts are most delicious. I don't eat out much here but I do treat myself to D'Atri's now and then. read more

Very popular place. It was busy. Veal parmigiana sandwich. I got the reduced portion which was wise because the full portion would have been enough for 2 people. No Coke Zero BOOO! That costs you a star. read more

We stopped in on our drive cross country and it was the only place along that stretch of road that wasn't a mass food-chain. NOTE: you can order to-go at a different counter in the back (with it's own door) separate from the dine-in counter and it's very fast. The dine-in area was just overflowing with people waiting to be sat, I get the feeling it's a very adored business in the neighborhood. We ordered a large sub to go thinking we'd be able to nosh it while driving but let me tell you, this thing is no joke. There was no way to split this and hand it to my driving boyfriend so we did what we could but as for the sandwich - it was gooood. The pickles and peppers were a really nice touch and the seasoned lettuce might have been a bit over-oiled, creating a nice mess (not in a bad way, just difficult in the car) but all in all, it was probably the best sandwich we had on that road-trip hands down. read more

D'Atri's Restaurant - Italian sub - at this point I'd say this is half eaten - Sandwiches Near Me - La Vale, Maryland

Our favorite casual place to eat in Lavale. We're always seated fairly quickly. Yummy chocolate and vanilla cokes... fresh baked bread with homemade soups... and delicious italian food. Super reasonable prices. Polite, hard working servers who really try to please. (Only one bad server in 20 years) Salmon cakes, to DIE for! Stay awesome please. We need more restaurants with this kind of service, price and food. read more

What a charming place for lunch. Carmen can recite the entire menu, soups and desserts included. The food items include a number of hoagies and philly cheese items and a special lettuce. While this is interesting, there was a lot of it. The philly steak could be improved with a trip to philly and a bit of exploration of opportunity. Other wise, we enjoyed the food. In fact, we did bring a huge take home, which is a problem when traveling. This local resturaunt group has a bunch of variations, and everything is local. We did not have any pies, but they have a fabulous selection of pies made in house (down the street in their bakery). They deserve a number of return visits to gauge what they have. But a drive to Cumberland is several hours. Eat well, tip well. read more

MUST-GO STOP! I'm a local, but I will write a bad review is a place earns one. This is NOT one of those places! If there is one place you should go if you are in the Cumber-LaVale-Frostburg area it's this place. First and foremost - the atmosphere is very down-home so if you are looking for a 5-star actual table-clothed joint, this isn't for you. I would highly recommend calling for a reservation on a Friday and Saturday night. The Italian side of the restaurant is very good. Pastas are great, great portions! AND THEN THERE IS THE CHEESE STEAK. It's name-sake. Get one. Period. The staff is very attentive and receptive! Desserts are freshly made each day and very good. I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal here. read more

As a local favorite while growing up, I'm sad to say I was disappointed by the service here on my recent trip home. The food was pretty good still, which saved this visit. It's hard to go wrong with the cheesesteak subs here. It was cramped (not with people, just so many tables), dirty and about 90 degrees upstairs. Our table had mayo or something smeared all over it and was set on top of that. It took 10 minutes to see a waitress and another 10 to get drinks.. I also had food spilled on me twice. I really hope our server was just having a bad day. read more

D'Atri's Restaurant - Chicken & Rice soup - Sandwiches Near Me - La Vale, Maryland

Was introduced to this restaurant over a decade ago by a local. We went the day after a wedding and the giant steak sub with seasoned lettuce was the hangover meal of my DREAMS. I don't drink as much anymore but when I am passing through I always pick up, or eat in, a sandwich. Really enjoy their soups and desserts as well. Seems like the rest of the menu is pretty extensive with options for all tastes. read more

Yelp picks another winner. First time in the area and needed dinner . This is the best cheese steak. Tasty meat. Toppings were just the right amount. The seasoned lettuce topping was delicious if unusual. I had a birch beer that tasted like the days of my youth. Took half my meal with me to go. Great service . Clean tables. read more

D'Atri's Restaurant - My sandwich arrives. Bigger than plate - Sandwiches Near Me - La Vale, Maryland

My husband and I love D'Atri's subs! We both favor the chicken tender and cheese steak subs! The food is always hot and delicious!

Never had a bad meal. Hometown favorite for a lot of people here. Classic options, no bad thing on the menu.

We came in here at 9:15pm after finding it on Yelp. The staff was accommodating & we had a very friendly waitress. Soups are delicious! We tried the navy bean and chicken dumpling. Both yummy! We also tried the salads: fried chicken salad and steak and blue salad. The meat in the salad was delicious! The lettuce was not freshly chopped and came from a bag. A little disappointing. Overall, the bread basket and meal was good. The ambience in this place is strange. Just blah. read more

Their Salad Hoagie is one of a kind with abundant seasoned lettuce topped with Philly style beef and tons of cheese. A great place to grab lunch! read more

We used to eat here a lot over the years but we moved away. Recently we went back with a decent size party and the experience was just as good, if not better, than what we remembered The food was as I remembered it and the staff was very courteous read more

When visiting a new town or trying new places I rely on yelp to point me to new places and foods to try and I'm glad I found this place because this is probably now my favorite restaurant in the area. Great and fast service even though it was pretty packed. I ordered the chicken and spinach lasagna, husband had lasagna and kids had spaghetti with meatballs, we also had an order of Mac n cheeses and a cup of chili and beside the main course orders being quite generous everything was delicious! We also had to get a couple of to go boxes since we couldn't finish our food but we were more than happy about that. It's quite big in there and they have an upstairs seating area as well. Overall the food is delicious and you get more than enough of what you pay for. Will definitely be going back! read more

Cumberland's best restaurant. The subs/hoagies and soup are always my favorite. Love it every time I go!

Just tried to order food to go and asked for deconstructed steak sandwich's as we don't want the buns to be all soggy because we still have a 2 hour drive home. They refused to make the sandwiches stating it changes the taste. WTH I AM ASKING YOU TO DO IT. Tried to support a business during these difficult times, must not be hurting if your turning away business. We always try to eat here when we are near, NEVER AGAIN, WE WONT BE BACK. Spoke to a young girl who didn't seem to know wth was going on, asked to speak to a manager and that was no better. Poor business practices. read more

Good food. It is pricey though, not to much to not have a full parking lot all the time. I'd recommend the leg steak and cheese sub or salad. Both are great. read more

My family orders from D'Atri's often and have never had anything disappointing from there! The subs, soups, and salads are all so wonderful! You will not be disappointed with a meal from here! read more

We generally eat at D'Atri's when shopping in LaVale. Probably 2 to 3 times a month. We were seated promptly and drink order taken. I ordered hot chocolate not realizing it was from an envelope and no whipped cream. Our order came. Asked if the heat could be raised. Waitresses laughed and said it cold out. I know that. I live on the top of mountain. We sat and ate with our jackets on. We weren't the only ones. Since about 85% of the customers were seniors, they (we) were cold. We left. So cold our food got cold before could eat it. HEAT!!!!! read more

Good food, good portions. We stopped on our trip hole from Pittsburgh, not many options that weren't fast food. Worth the stop. Next time we will call ahead. My only complaint is the lack of diversity, but that is likely because of the area. read more

Quaint little family style restaurant with a fantastic breakfast selection. Coffee was nice and strong, service was prompt and friendly but what really stood out was their homemade sausage patties - not pre-made but hand formed and absolutely delightful. Five for breakfast. read more

This place is great! The customer service, friendly staff, clean facility, fresh foods, food portions matched the cost. During the weekends be sure to get there early to get seats as it fills up fast. I recommend this place, and will definitely stop by again. read more

HORRIBLE food. The menu is huge, but literally 90% sandwiches. The burger was in no way seasoned--the bun was cold to the touch, fries were equally unseasoned and frozen tasting. It was insanely loud like a high school cafeteria. Way over hyped and way, way over priced for less than mediocre food and service. read more

Tried this place for brunch, it has a very large menu. The service is nice and friendly. I wouldn't call it a brunch place though, it's breakfast or lunch. They do not have the usual brunch drinks. The food is good and it comes in large quantities. Would come back, just not for brunch. read more

I have always received great food. I would highly recommend this restaurant! The cheesesteak subs are delicious!

We got the steak sub since that's what the waitress recommended and it was like eating a salt lick. So salty!

This is the BEST Stake sandwich every! I would put this up against any other from any place. The bread is homemade, the lettuce is diced thin but not to thin and the dressing & herbs combine for an unbelievable topping. The tomato's are sliced just right. The Parmesan cheese slices are on the bottom covered in miracle whip dressing. The stake is chopped thin, mixed with the onions and papers. If it sound good, it tastes 100% better. If you are a soda drinker the Vanilla Coke is a do not miss. The service is good and the food come out in a very timely manner. All the desserts are homemade. This place is worth the trip no matter how far the drive. read more

With this Coronavirus outbreak, D'atri's restaurant has stepped up to offer take out/pick up food service. They are offering family meal deals for people who do not have time to cook an entire meal every night. Great prices and great food! Thank you for helping the community to be able to feed their families. As always, their steak subs are out of this world delicious and all menu items are still available as well for purchase during this crisis! read more

May have been a 5 star, but no beer or wine served!! How can an Italian restaurant not serve wine!!?? House salad was mostly iceberg lettuce, but did have a really nice Italian style dressing. The hommade Manicotti was gooey with cheese and sauce,, it was delicious, would recommend. Ordered a side of garlic bread, pretty much 2 sides of about a 9" loaf, just crispy enough and great taste as well. Ordered a side of meatballs to go with the Manicotti, they were ok, but not up to lar with the Manicotti. The garlic bread could have been the free side, but I wanted a salad as well. Dont make that mistake, skip the salad and order the garlic bread as your side. The portions are large, you will not need the iceberg lettuce to help you leave full, trust me on this one, I basically waddled back across the lot to my hotel after this huge meal. read more

Perhaps the only place around here that has a line wrapped around the building before even opening. I was smart enough to call in my carry out order ahead of time, but not smart enough to realize that there was a separate entrance for carry out orders. No worries, I did not wait long. I had the smoked turkey hoagie along with a brownie with chocolate icing. The hoagie was fresh tasting and the bread was soft. I liked the extra touch that the pickled peppers and the seasoned salad imparted, but was not completely bowled over like others. The brownie was very fudge-y and I can see how some would like it. Too sweet for me, and my husband, who I had bought it for, did not finish it. I like it better than Subway, but Hubs said Subways is better. Almost double the price for the same length of sandwich, but you get more filling with D'atri and the ingredients are better quality. read more

D'Atri's serves the world's best steak sub and Italian hoagie period. My mind can't process the thought of a world without these steak subs, they are that good. This thing is lives in my personal top 10 best meals ever list. Needless to say, I love this place. I haven't lived in Cumberland for nearly 15 years, but I ritualistically stop here first for lunch before I do anything or visit anyone when I come in to town. They have a pretty diverse menu, and I'm sure locals are willing to try out other things, but for me, I stick to what I know and love. I will say however that my cousin from Rome who was working for a short time in the US stopped here for lunch with me when we were visiting family and he claims that his spaghetti was the best pasta he'd tasted in two years of living in the US. read more

Had a soccer game at FSU for my son. Stopped here due to a recommendation from a friend. Great family feel, short wait, good service. We ordered the cheesesteak subs. The lettuce was seasoned, the beef was wonderful, and the mayo was sweet. It tasted like it was homemade. Great experience, but a little pricey as it was $40 + tip for 2 people for 2 cheesesteaks, a small salad with salmon, and 2 drinks. No sides with the sandwiches either, but they were big. Worth a visit but bring your wallet! The rest of the menu looked great, and the desserts looked very fresh and homemade... read more

This place could of certainly received more stars had the sandwich makers actually cared about what they were preparing. Good grief, I don't think I have ever had so much mayo on a sub in my life. Our take-out order: cheese steak (their version) and a reuben. Maybe someone in the kitchen had the munchies and thought they made the ultimate sandwich, but these buds said otherwise. The flavors were pretty decent but would have sung had the proportions of the ingredients been balanced. There was an unnecessarily huge portion of seasoned lettuce (greens tossed in an Italian dressing), rib eye, provolone, onions and tomatoes. This monster was an absolute mess to eat, made even more difficult since it was not even cut in half. The provolone was not melted, and instead almost fell out of the roll intact. Really? No mingling of meat and cheesy goodness? Isn't that the definition of a cheesesteak? The roll was baked in house and was a good vessel for all the fillings had they been well prepared and distributed correctly. It sucks when you get to a part of a sub where they neglected to spread out the toppings. Mayo and bread is just not my go to meal. The reuben suffered from the same lack of even distribution. One half had almost no corned beef and the whole thing was limp from an over abundance of liquid from the dressing and the kraut. Try eating these while tailgating on the hood of your trunk on a road trip, and it spells disaster. Obviously though, the locals love it. Couldn't even find a parking spot on a Friday afternoon. It certainly had the potential for a good meal if only someone had treated our subs with some love and attention. read more

As a road warrior we rely on Yelp reviews when we travel so I'm going to honest about this restaurant. First, it's within walking distance of the Holiday Inn Express, so that's a plus. We arrived close to 7 pm and discovered they do not serve wine. The entrees we ordered were ample and my eggplant parmigiana was good. My husband liked his sausage and pasta, so that's three stars there. We must have been there close to closing time because one of the staff started sweeping the carpet nearby. Not exactly appetizing. Still, I'd recommend the restaurant as a local option from the typical fast food joints nearby. Just know about the caveats listed above. read more

Wonderful sandwiches! Brought one to bring home to NC and they packed up the toppings (the best lettuce ever) in a separate container

Stopped in while passing through the area for lunch. As was promised by other Yelp reviewers, there was a big crowd, and it took us about 20 minutes to get a seat. My girlfriend ordered a meatball sub; she said the meatballs were a bit overcooked and dry. I got the steak sub, and it was pretty tasty, overall. The highlight was the mac and cheese we got as a side. It was terrific. We had friendly, prompt service, and the atmosphere was just fine. The value was also more than acceptable. It wasn't a highlight of the trip, but it certainly wasn't a disappointment either. read more
