It used to be that I would have to struggle to get my mouth around those delicious meat balls. But over the past three visits, the meat balls are subpar! I seriously thought they were just running low on meat the first time my sandwich had two meatballs. The last two times the meatballs have been the size of marbles. I really would love to continue eating here but I can't support the lack of food that I've been given the past three times. It's been a hard and sad decision because I loved their meatball sandwiches but honestly "Where's the Beef?" If you fix the issue, please shoot me a message because I really do love the food. I just can't validate spending $10 plus my gas to get a sandwich full of sauce, two micro meatballs and a bunch of sauce. Please make it right again. Please!

I was not too impressed with my trip to DiPratos, which was disappointing because it had been…read morerecommended to me by several different people, and I was excited to try it out. I came in a few minutes after 10:00 a.m., the time they open, and while I don't expect a restaurant to be in tip-top shape the second they open, they did not seem at all ready for the day or to accept customers. I stood at the front for a few awkward moments before asking one of the hostesses if I was supposed to seat myself, when she replied "oh no, I'll seat you", and then led me to one of the nearby tables. Somewhat grossly, the tablecloth on the table I was seated at was covered with coffee stains from previous guests, which was kind of unsettling. I then asked for a cup of coffee, and was told that there wasn't any ready, and that I would need to wait a few minutes. Again, not a huge deal, but I would expect a breakfast restaurant to have some coffee ready by the time that they open. Second, when perusing the menu, I was not particularly impressed by their "limited breakfast" options, nor anything on their regular menu. I decided to go with a simple hot dog, and substituted the offered sides with an order of French fries, which ridiculously cost me almost $4 extra. In addition, my hot dog was fine, but nothing exceptional, and definitely not better than one I could've gotten at Costco for a markedly cheaper price. The one (1) bright spot was that the fries were very good, and of higher quality than most other fries I've gotten at similar restaurants. Finally, my server was nice enough, but a little rough around the edges and not overly attentive. In addition, the ambiance was pretty basic, with nothing about it that really stuck out. All-in-all, I wouldn't be adverse to returning to DiPratos on a Saturday or Sunday to try their breakfast menu, but I won't be coming back during the week, and wouldn't really recommend that anybody else do so either.

Nothing like walking into a business and seeing people upset because they've been waiting over an hour for a sandwich. After waiting there 10 minutes at the counter with no service I quickly realized that I needed to take the hint that they weren't interested and take my business somewhere else. I left feeling sad but happy that I didn't waste my time where the employees take no pride in the job or the need for customers to keep it.

If yall don't get down to this bad boy and order you the "Chicken Charleston" during our lord and saviors pride month?! HOMOPHOBIA! I didn't know what to order (they literally have the LARGEST menu) and the fabulous front of house baddie said she loved The Charleston so.. I said you know what? LAYGO. 10/10 This was the best dang sandwich I've had in months. It's basically a chicken Philly but they put they whole foot, knee, thigh, and hootenanny into making that bad boy. AND ITS ACROSS FROM THE HOSPITAL SO I CAN JUST MOSEY ON OVER ANY TIME IM IN THIS CENTRALIZED LOCAYSH?! swear SC just wants me to stay fat and sassy atp. Only thing I disliked was the black olives in the pasta salad, but that's a personal preference situation. (Yall can have mine if you wanna meet up for lunch, tuh!) They also have kids eat free nights too! Clearly I don't have any children (kind of difficult to given the whole.. well, it's pride month yfm? Hahaha) but bring the whole fam.

I liked how they had the option to park in the back of the restaurant, as parking in Five Points isn't always the easiest thing. My actual food was pretty average, but it wasn't exactly a complicated order (a hot dog and grilled cheese), so I can't really comment on the quality of their product.  All-in-all, Groucho's in Five Points is a nice blast from the past, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a classic place to grab a meal and sit down.
