In High School, my friends and I would grab lunch at a Coney Island Hot Dog restaurant in Ionia,…read moreMichigan. The dogs came with a thick meat sauce, sweet onions, and mustard. I joined the Marine Corps and left the area, but I would always stop there when home on leave. About 15 years later, I was so disappointed when the store was no longer there. Well, I have finally found the closest thing to what I enjoyed over 50 years ago. Awesome dogs with thick meat sauce, sweet onions and mustard. They also put coleslaw on them, but I had to go with my boyhood passion, so no coleslaw for me. A friend told me that he had never had a dog with coleslaw before, but he thoroughly enjoyed it. The shake was pretty dang good too. I will be back this weekend again!

We've tried pretty much everything on the menu. This is an older establishment that has kept its old charm. One aspect we appreciate about it. Very simple ordering process and great customer service. Simple menu with plenty of options for everyone. The food is cooked to order and doesn't take long even when it's really busy. Plenty of seating and a large parking lot. We have enjoyed every meal here and will continue to do so. Recommend dining here. Interesting note: if you search for the best burger restaurants in NC, they are on the list.

I think we met his wife, too, who was very nice and friendly in the parking lot. The Philly subs are traditional Philly style with some items on the sandwich most cheese steak sandwiches don't do, so be sure to ask for it the way you want it. There is no seating at this time; I think this is a mistake. At least clearer advertising that makes it obvious this is a carry-out-only shop. There are also no fountain drink soda machines. Just cans. I would have given it five stars if there was somewhere to sit either inside or out and a soft drink fountain. We both liked our sandwiches and hope as the shop gets on its feet, it will add seating and a soda machine of some kind. I also prefer more onions and bell peppers than the finely chopped ones in the meat mix. Still, it was tasty, with plenty of filling and freshness. We will come back again to support local veteran-owned businesses.

We got a mango smoothie and hibiscus mango lemonade tea and the flavor was so good and refreshing. The prices are reasonable, the seating area is quiet and clean, and the staff is super helpful and respectful. I will try to work my way through their whole menu but it's huge so might take a while. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for cookies, macaroons, cake, donuts to ramen, sandwiches and more!

We stepped inside (to escape the heat, at the minimum), and checked out the menu. We found the food menu interesting enough to order and stay. In addition to food, coffee and tea (matcha & chai) and adult beverages are served. My wife and I each ordered the Hug-A-Hero sandwich, that with each purchase as the menu states, the store donates a portion of the proceeds to the Hug-A-Hero organization, that "brings comfort to military families." We ordered it because the sandwich components looked tasty. And the sandwiches arrived impeccably crafted and sliced, with the flavors we hoped for. The goat cheese and house-made creamy pesto aioli really set this sandwich apart from just being another turkey sandwich on some fancy bread. For sides we chose the creamy potato salad with pieces of potato -nicely blended and smooth taste- and the pasta, Arugala, pine nut salad. Service was good. (Side note: First time I've been named "Blue Shirt Guy Couple" on my order ticket and it made me smile). Seating in the narrow (but normal layout for this building) space is organized by tables on one side and chairs and a counter down the other side. Business was steady during this lunch time and the bistro definitely deserves a return visit.

I don't normally leave reviews, but Steve's Subs and Salads absolutely deserves one!…read more I've practically been living on their Chef Salad for the past few weeks. It's so generously portioned that I consider it a complete meal for dinner. Every time I've ordered, the ingredients are always fresh, high-quality, and consistently delicious. Just as impressive is the customer service--everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. The convenient drive-thru pickup is another huge plus--it's quick, easy, and perfect for grabbing a fresh meal on the go. Honestly, you can't go wrong with ANY of their salads or subs! If you're looking for great food, reasonable prices, and outstanding service, Steve's is the place to go. They've earned a loyal customer!

You can choose a bowl, a wrap, or a pita. They do offer sandwiches and other items as well. I decided on a bowl. I chose yellow rice instead of quinoa. I was able to have a few small samples to help make a decision. I also had lamb, chicken, garbanzo beans, spinach, three different hummus (feta, traditional, roasted eggplant), lettuce, tomato, feta, cucumbers, naan, and tzatziki over the top. I also decided to have a lemonade. They have several different lemonades to choose from and it's bottomless if you're dining in. I added so many items to the bowl the price was fairly high, but worth it. There's plenty of seating inside and it's a nice dining room. Very simple, but comfortable. I sat and enjoyed my bowl with pomegranate lemonade. Everything was delicious. I'm happy that I finally tried The Hummus Republic. I will definitely eat here again. Recommend giving it a try.

I got a pretty full bowl. I noted that the kale they had out had a number of dubious leaves in it, but the person picked around them to get me some nice green kale (if I were them I'd just dump the wilted ones). Vegetarian options were ample at all levels of the ordering process and indeed the only non-vegan component i ended up with was some feta. It was a salty and tasty bowl; oddly the salad greens were the only thing I got less of than expected. I also said what the heck and got what they call a signature tahini shake, which was absurdly filling to the point that I pretty much skipped a meal. Okay if that's what you want. Overall, not perfect but a quality place with options for most diets.

I sound like I should be on the Biggest Loser right now but OH WELL! I finished my sub and went back in with my "complaint". I told the people working that I had a complaint. Their faces said it all.
