    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.

    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.

    We catered brunch for my son's graduation. From beginning to end this place was great!! So friendly and helpful and food was amazing! Definitely recommend!!

    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.

    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

    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.

    Well its been awhile since we had been here, and decided to order out and go take food home…read more Was pretty busy but was taken care of by 2 friendly employees. Got that oldvschool sandwich shop feel.Big Menu boards.and a large diverse menu. Ordered a cheesesteak that was amazing, and wife loved her polish sausage dog. We ordered a chicken ceasar salad too for tomorrow. One thing i had issue with was doesn't a caesar salad come with caesar dressing? Well this one didnt if they put some on there i couldnt find it.only flavor i tasted was from chicken. Other than that everything was amazing. Big Mills is a icon in Gainesville and their cheesesteaks prove that!!

    On a rainy, chilly, horrible weather day in Gainesville, FL...where else would you go? To a place…read morewith delicious, cooked to order comforting food! This time I got a kraut dog (I didn't share). I wanted all of that warm tangy deliciousness to myself! I also tried their smash burger. Yes, yes, everyone has their signature burger...but folks...I'm going to say something here that speaks to only the burger aficionados out there...y'all know who you are. My people. The person that goes to a fancy restaurant and while everyone else is ordering the shrimp or ribs or a steak and you're ordering a burger. You know who you are and I'm one of you. This burger literally BLEW my mind. I've tried other smash burgers, but this one was actually executed PERFECTLY. What is the difference? A true "smash" burger is done just that way on the grill so that every crack, every crevice on that grill gets crispy and delicious. And the bread they use here? Soft and pillowy with just the right amount of give and chew. They literally toast the inside of EVERY bun! And not that little tiny throw onto the grill for a second or two...that nice hard grill that makes the butter hard crisp the bread so you get that crunch inside with the nice pillow outside. Shred the lettuce so it's on every bite and not falling out before you take those bites. Perfection. Added some Big Mill's sauce and wow. Just plain yellow American cheese is fine with me. I'm no cheese snob. Next time? I'm definitely enjoying a double. Just wanted to try the entire kraut dog for myself. Worth it. That grill crisped bun on the dog was soooo good. I want it on a double smashburger next time! The staff comes and checks with you and brings you your food when ready. Asks if everything was okay and if you need any sauces or utensils. That is so surprising every time to me. Well worth every single penny I've spent here. The attention to exact details and the comfort and hominess this place exudes along with the selection of awesome 60s and early 70s music (which is exactly from my era) they play is the reason we'll keep coming back over and over again. It's also why this little place is packed on a miserable Sunday afternoon. I'm so glad I went here at the behest of my hubby or I would've missed out on my new favorite burger place!

I very rarely go to the Oaks mall, but today I found myself there around lunch time and I knew exactly where I was going to go. Charley's is a chain restaurant focusing on cheesesteaks and fries. They do many different types of cheesesteaks here ranging from Chicken Philly, to a traditional steak Philly. They have buffalo chicken ones and many other types. Today I went with the Number 1 which was the chicken Philly with peppers, mushrooms and onions. They grill up the meats on the grill in front of you and they toast the bread. Then after the meat is cooked and cheese is melted, you can top your Philly with different toppings. Today I went with a regular chicken Philly and the ultimate fries, which is bacon, cheese, and ranch fries! It was just like I remember it and was super tasty!

    I was so excited when I saw this restaurant near the University of Florida. It is a nice restaurant…read morewith plenty of seating and a nice bar area. We we started off with the fried calamari. It was pretty good. Then we had a order of the rolls, which was definitely a 10 out of 10 the roles are dressed with an Italian dressing. This is not a combination that I thought I needed it, but definitely glad I experienced. For our entrées, we had the Marg Pizza and shrimp scampi. The pizza was tasty and had a nice crispy crust. The shrimp scampi pasta was delicious with a nice light sauce and juicy shrimp. We couldn't finish everything, but enjoy the leftovers the next day. Hope to come back again!

    We had a great meal yesterday at Piesano's Stone Fired Pizza on the University of Florida's campus…read more I laughed because there's a Seinfeld episode about George getting George Steinbrenner calzones at Piesano's and I couldn't help but think that the restaurant was named after that. Nonetheless there was a ton of options for: - pizza - different sandwiches - appetizers - salads - soups We ended up getting two different pizzas and some garlic sticks. The pizzas were nice and thin and crispy and full of flavor. The garlic sticks were very, very garlicky, very tasty, very doughy. In general we just had a great meal and we definitely enjoyed it. There were quite a lot of people there too so I'm getting the impression that a lot of other people enjoy Piesano's as well. Very much do recommend this pizza and the garlic sticks. Definitely check it out

It wasn't busy(at first) but we still felt rushed. Ordered an app then we ordered entrees. After waiting a bit, he comes back and says there are no pasta dishes in the kitchen. Like wtf, I mean they didn't tell u when u brought the order to the kitchen? But then you bring out the extra side/ house salad that I ordered to go with the pasta. I didn't want it anymore .Fast forward, then this guy brings out the checks while I'm still eating. Like really? And then I was a little offended that he gave us 2 separate checks without asking.Whats funny is that Me and my best friend always try to pay for each other lol, so who told him to do separate checks. But I try not to assume... Now the food was just okay. Had the gator tail and it was salty. Then after "no pasta" I went with the summer salad. And I guess they were out of stuff for this too. It was missing the Blueberry and the apple. Guess they figure they would see if I noticed. Well I did notice, i was just over it, and was just too late complain.

Fish and chips: crispy outside, doughy inside with barely any fish. Batter is heavy and dense. Nothing light about it at all. Cobb Salad: iceberg lettuce. Dry chicken. And I mean dryyyy.

They definitely need to invest in a filtration system because water shouldn't have a flavor. This sums it up. Service was pleasant and the place clean. That gets a star each from me.
