    8" Philly Cheesesteak
    Jennifer H.

    Ordered a 8" Philly Cheesesteak, the peppers and onions were ice cold, so strange. Bread and cheese were warm, it was odd eating a sandwich with ice cold vegetables mixed with warm bread and cheese. Fries were fantastic. Iced Tea was out during lunch time, they did not refill it during the time I was there, not sure out often they do so.

    Stopped here on our way from Atlanta to Tampa. Saw it on Yelp while coming thru and decided to give it a shot. Ordered online while coming to town - as this is a great option for travelers coming to the area. As for the food - I ordered the meatball sub and added a black and white cookie. The sub was standard, nothing overly great or poor about it. Good enough. The black and white cookie - the cookie cake part was stale. Badly stale.

    Unfortunately had a horrible experience here. I placed an order for online pickup, the online ordering service provided an exact pickup time of 5:24 PM. I picked up the order precisely at that pickup time. I decided to eat the sandwich in the car as I was driving home, and was utterly disappointed. The sandwich was soggy and cold, even though I ordered a "hot" sandwich. In fact, the wet quality of the sandwich resulted in a completely soaked through wrapping. I decided to call when I got home to respectfully ask for a refund. I was told by the pleasant cashier that he would ask his boss about this. However, when I received a call back later in the evening, a refund was refused. I was offered a remake of the sandwich, but to be honest to waste another 30 minutes of my time driving to and from the store is pretty disrespectful. Unfortunately, on the phone the cashier admitted that the sandwich had been prepared approximately 10-15 minutes prior to the pickup time, which certainly could explain the soggy and cold quality of the sandwich. Unprofessional at best.

    We came here for the first time to pick up some sandwiches for my Grandma's birthday lunch at the house and everyone was a fan! My family is from NY so they appreciate a traditional NY deli and this fit the bill. It was a Saturday and pretty busy so I had to wait about 15-20 min past my order pickup time but I didn't mind too much since I know the sandwiches were being made fresh. We tried a variety of items and everything was delicious!

    Pastrami Special Sandwich Wouldn't recommend, below average pastrami.
    Eli J.

    Really just reviewing the pastrami sandwich here, I'm always on the lookout for a good pastrami. Overall it seems like a decent sandwich shop, very large menu, but I was pretty disappointed with the pastrami here. It was cut pretty thick, had a significant amount of fat on it, and really lacking in flavor. Basically equivalent to what I would expect from a Walmart deli. I didn't catch what brand they use or if they make their own, but regardless it isn't good. The bread, mustard, and coleslaw were good, but unfortunately not so with the meat. I'm sure they have some good stuff, but wouldn't go for the pastrami here.

    Hidden gem in Gainesville,Fl! Absolute delicious, mouth watering sandwiches down to the roll it's on. Excellent service , set up like an authentic NY style deli. Cannot wait to go back.

    Meatball Parmesan
    David V.

    Nice spot for lunch. They have a large selection of sandwiches. I went with the meatball Parmesan sub and a side of fries. The sub was good, I asked for a side of ranch which made it even better since it was very cheesy and I prefer it to be a little saucier. The fries however were very poor. Very thin and soggy. Overall it's a good lunch spot for a quick sandwich. You can find just about any type of sandwich you are craving.

    We had planned on going to a popular Korean restaurant in town but they were short-staffed and…read morebarely acknowledged as we came through the door, so we left and decided to come here instead. Nice save. Parking when they're busy is a bit much but we found a spot around the corner from the door and walked to the entrance. You walk through their outside dining area which is all covered but because it had just rained it was a bit muggy for us so we opted to sit inside. The place has multiple floors and I really like that set up. We were sat upstairs on the second floor right by the top of the stairs. Looking around you can see another floor with a reserved area, tvs showing sports, and their salsa bar, more on that later. No chips and salsa here. Chips and Charro Bean Dip. The beans tasted refried and charred if that makes sense. I lost at rock, paper, scissors so I had to go visit the salsa bar and bring back dips to try. They had some pretty good ones like their homemade chipotle dressing, salsa verde, salsa de molcajete, etc. There wasn't one that we didn't like. Our server was really great and took care of us well. I got a Tamarindo Margarita and to eat the Enchiladas Poblanas (chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, queso fresco, raw onions) with the normal side of refried beans and rice, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and guac. I got a side of extra cheese because I'm a little rat and dumped it on them. The mole sauce really hit the spot. The last time I had it the sauce was kinda bland but this gave such a nice sweet and earthy flavor. He got the Molcajete Azteca (lava rock bowl with char-grilled chicken, steak, chorizo, shrimp, queso fresco, grilled cactus, onions, avocados, serrano peppers, pork rinds), same sides as my dish. He ''Oooh-ed" and "Ahhh-ed" and "Oh my God, this is so good" so you know he was a happy guy. I can see what all the hype is about. Definitely a place to visit.

    Time for a revisit to Las Carretas. This time I was with my mom, and we got in there when a soccer…read moregame was playing, so there was a lot of activity happening. We got a seat inside away from the noise, oddly enough in about the same place as we almost always have gotten in this restaurant. I went for a burrito, which is also my standard. It was just as good this time around as it was the last time, and the service was still just as solid. Really, for this kind of Mexican food in Gainesville, this is one of the best places to go as far as I am concerned. We will be returning in the future.

    Well, we were in town for a football game and wanted to grab some brunch on the way out of town. We…read morelooked around on the map and came across this place. It's a little ways away from the campus, where we were staying, but not that far, maybe 10 minutes. I'm really glad we did. What a nice restaurant, and extremely busy, which is a great sign. From the beginning, everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was about a 30 minute wait, which considering how busy it was, not a bad wait time. So we went outside to wait, they have a couple of water dispensers filled with ice cold lemon water. There are some coverings, a couple of benches in the shade. There is also a gentleman who was running a drink station so you can get coffee, Gatorade, etc. they have done a really great job of making sure people are comfortable and cool in the Florida heat. It was almost exactly 30 minutes and we were seated. The menu is everything you expect from a breakfast/brunch place. They also have a nice selection of specials that look really fun and different. I was starving, so I ended up ordering a little bit of everything. It was great, French toast, eggs, bacon, hash browns, etc. you can't go wrong with. We were well taken care of by everyone. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

    This was a cute breakfast spot on a busy Sunday. Bottom line, I was told an item was gluten free…read morethat absolutely was not. I do not blame our server as I did not inquire to him. I spoke to manager Angie who assured me she was "sorry" but after several days with gluten after effects unfortunately this flat apology fell short. I would not come here again because I don't think they took the matter seriously or really cared. If you have any food issues, allergies or intolerances please spend your money, time, and good health on any of the numerous other places in Gainesville.
