I've probably driven by Southside Deli 1,000 times and never knew what the building was -- until a…read moreFacebook post about their Oktoberfest specials stopped me in my tracks. A quick search later and I realized it was only 20 minutes from home. I immediately grabbed a friend and requested a dinner date for the item that caught my eye: the Bratwurst mit Kraut -- bratwurst cooked with apples and sauerkraut, served on a pretzel bun and topped with even more kraut, with a side of German potato salad ($12). But I'll admit... I was also eyeing their Obatzda Burger with Oktoberfest beer cheese. Feeling bold, I asked our waitress if I could order their regular Pretzel Braid appetizer ($9) but swap the usual cheez-wiz and spicy mustard for that dreamy Oktoberfest beer cheese instead. She paused, smiled, wrote it down, and said, "that sounds really good!" Bless the chef for making my pretzel + beer cheese fantasy come true. The pretzel braid was warm, soft, and perfectly salty, and that beer cheese was the real MVP -- smooth, melty, not too hot, and with a proper beer-cheese finish. When the bratwurst plate arrived, it was a showstopper. Juicy brat, tangy kraut piled high, and tucked inside a pretzel roll that was soft but sturdy enough to hold it all together. No mustard needed! The German potato salad surprised me, though -- I'm used to the warm version, so finding it chilled caught me off guard. But honestly? It worked. Perfectly seasoned, just wet enough to be salad without drifting into soupy territory. I demolished both. Dessert was impossible to skip after hearing our waitress describe it to another table. We shared both the Apple Caramel Crumb Cake and the Lemon Blueberry Mascarpone Cake. The crumb cake was served warm with ice cream, loaded with thick, crunchy topping that didn't rely on chopped nuts (bonus points!). The mascarpone cake was light and buttery with the perfect balance of lemon and blueberry -- like saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall all in one dessert sitting. Southside Deli's Oktoberfest menu blew me away, and if their everyday offerings are anywhere close, I've been seriously missing out. Add in free parking, a convenient location, and plenty of seating, and it's an easy go-to spot for lunch or dinner. Southside is officially on my food rotation radar now!

Sometimes less really is more! They put way too much meat on their sandwiches that involve lunch…read moremeat! You can't get your mouth around them! My parents are 88 and 90 ... they had a horrible time with their sandwiches! Maybe less meat and then lower the prices!! They are pretty steep on their prices and charge extra for everything!! They both ordered the 1/2 a sandwich with a cup of soup. They both enjoyed their soup. They said it was good but nothing special. My cousin and I both opted for a full sandwich w/fries. We exchanged 1/2 of our sandwiches. When I asked for mine w/out jalapeños you would have thought I had asked her to go out back and killed the chicken with her bare hand! Very strange look and a bit of a snotty attitude! The service was sooooo slow! And only a few people were in. We stopped in for an early lunch. (Just after opening) The new location is way too small. I'm surprised they chose to move to this location. The parking lot is tiny and weird shaped. There's not a lot of seating inside... I personally have tried all of their locations and it's always the same issues. It was not my choice to pick here, I would have gone elsewhere.

The service was excellent both evenings! Yes! We chose to enjoy dinner two nights in a row! We were thrilled, and blessed to have Meg as our server, both visits. Meg was attentive, engaging and very knowledgeable of the menu. She was a pure delight. The first evening we ordered the Meatball Sliders as an Appetizer. What incredible flavor and texture these meatballs have! All meat! The red sauce was wonderfully bright with true authentic Italian sauce. My husband and I shared the sliders and the Cubana sandwich. What fabulous flavors in the Cubana as well. The bread had a nice crunch on the outside with soft bites inside. Delicious!! The second night we enjoyed delicious Spaghetti and those wonderful Meatballs along with the best Chicken Marsala we've ever enjoyed. We will visit the next time we are in Carlisle.

Pitt Street Station offers a number of items that would work for vegetarians and gluten free…read morepatrons. As for vegans, well, there isn't much. Thankfully the restaurant is willing to accommodate (like leaving the cheese off a pizza) so there are vegan items to be crafted. It would just be cool if there were one or two items designed with vegans in mind. So, after some hocus pocus work, I decided on The Puttanesca Pizza and a non-alcoholic Cinnamon Vanilla Mule. The Puttanesca Pizza typically features olive tapenade, house tomato sauce, shaved Romano and rosemary gremolata. The waitress said it would be no problem to leave off the Romano. The Cinnamon Vanilla Mule contains cinnamon-vanilla syrup and ginger beer. Thankfully no substitutions needed here. The pizza at Pitt Street Station is bar style. A thin, chewy crust with the toppings layered on top. I found the crust to be pretty good. I like the combo of tapenade and house tomato sauce but did find it a tad salty. Can't imagine what it is like with the Romano added in. The Cinnamon Vanilla Mule was very good. I liked the balance of all the components. It was cool to see some non alcoholic cocktails on the menu and to have them be really good. I would return to Pitt Street Station if meeting up with someone because the place is accommodating to dietary needs but until some actual vegan items are on the menu it won't be somewhere I seek out on my own.

Our server was attentive and did a pretty good job of taking care of us. The only 'ding' that I will give this place is that the restaurant owner and some of his staff members and friends were very loud while working on their beer vats. They showed no consideration for their customers and, instead, seemed to be oblivious to the fact that most people eating in their restaurant wouldn't want to spend their lunchtime raising their voices just so that the person they were dining with could hear them. These guys were so loud and boisterous that, a few times, we just gave up on trying to chat with one another because there was zero chance that we could comfortably speak loudly enough to hear each other.

The FHCBR if you will, had a pepper next to it on the menu I assumed that means spicy so I asked the guy if it was spicy to which he replied "it's not that spicy" so I had an image in my head of a piss poor mild hum, to which I say the counter-man's description did not do the "not too spicy justice". Now this was not a flaming hot hurt your mouth kinda spice but it was a leave some heat lingering great flavor kind of spice, and I've got to add idd consider myself to have a pretty high heat tolerance so idd probably think most normal people are probably gonna think this thing is actually pretty spicy. So I gotta ask, since when are there spicy subs? Like not just sweet peppers, pepper relish or jalops I mean since when do they slather a bad boy down with some capsaicin infused chipotle mayo? My brain doesn't logically go to subs should be spicy, but apparently the chefs over at the Fire Company thought it did and let me tell you I commend them for that. They gave me something I didn't know I needed Fire fighters are supposed to put fires out not start fires and let me tell you Firehouse Subs lit a fire in my mouth and my heart today. Get yourself FHCBR especially if you ain't afraid of the fire, you may get a little burnt 10/5
