No issues with the taste of the food -- my issue is the price versus the portion size. You can…read morebarely get a full scoop of meat. When this place first opened, you used to get two scoops per bowl. This time I was honestly shocked because I didn't even get one full scoop. Same with the sides -- I had to ask for more corn and cheese. On top of that, a few employees didn't speak English, and the woman at the end of the line is consistently the most unfriendly person in there. She acts like the food is coming out of her paycheck and like she's determined not to give you anything extra -- at the very least, spread the food out across the bowl. It also feels like portions depend on who you are, because some people seem to get more than others. We tried Chipotles a few wks ago and were amazed at how much meat they gave in comparison but didn't taste as well as this ... so here I am back here today but it's Disappointing, because this place started off so good.

I have been here since 2013 & never stopped in. The inside waiter could not explain the menu, nor could he get my partners order right, even after sending it back to be remade. I can easily go another 13 years without returning. The food is substandard for the cost. It's a shame that something Cleveland claims as an ICON of the 50's, (perhaps the business was great back then) was such a disappointment. I'd rather get a cheeseburger out of a vending machine. $45 for 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks. Spend your money at McAllisters, you'll pay far less, for an edible meal. Zero Stars is too many.

The jambalaya was flavorful and one of the best I've had in quite some time. I also ordered the lemon pepper wings, extra crispy, and they were so good that I cleaned the bones completely. I paired everything with the refreshing iced tea, and it made for a fantastic meal.

You can get your subs in 3 different sizes which are small, regular and large. I got the regular size which was really to big for me since I got a drink and fries to go with it. Also, there was a problem about finding a table to sit at. I finally found one and it was dirty. There's also some rude people in here at the time of visiting which I don't care about going into details about. This food court gets busy on the weekend and this is not the only time I couldn't find a seat.

At checkout, another friendly and lovable female staffer was totally charming. My sandwich was HUGE and the pimento cheese was some of the best I've ever had!

The math doesn't work, but neither does this place, and somehow that's exactly why it does. I got the Natural sandwich and even as I'm writing this review, I wish it was still in my mouth. It was outstanding. The kind of sandwich that makes you wonder if you've been wasting your life eating lesser sandwiches. They also had old-timey bottled sodas that were fantastic, plus a bunch of random chip brands I'd never heard of but was immediately willing to trust. No regrets there. I grabbed a cookie that looked soft, gooey, and delicious. It nailed the delicious part but missed on the soft part. If you're a crunchy cookie person, you're in luck. If you're like me and prefer your cookies to have the structural integrity of a wet sponge, you may be disappointed.
