    Don't we look happy to be here?

    The first time I came to John and Loreta's lovely restaurant, I was blown away! At first it didn't seem like my kind of restaurant but I came with an open mind. You order your food at the counter and you have a seat. The awesome thing about it is that the family brings your meal to you. Talk about food... Omg! The food is phenomenal! I had a a burger and my fiance had the wings and they were amazing! You have to come and experience the food and the family for yourself!

    This is a small family owned restaurant. The service is quick and friendly. The food is very good. I recommend the gyros. You get a large amount of food for the price. Family owned facilities are usually the best. I recommend checking it out.

    This is a truly unpretentious and authentic family restaurant. Sid, the son, works the grill; and, his Mom and Dad take care of everything else. The food portions are generous; the prices are very fair; and, Mom always brings your food out to the table. Even though I don't understand a word they're saying in their native Albanian as they coordinate everything in the kitchen, I love their strong work ethic and their great focus on customer satisfaction. Kudos to this hard-working family!

    Crepe (sample) with bacon, egg and cheese

    Very clean diner, service was good, the food was prepared as ordered however the portions are small. I felt this place is a bit overpriced, considering you place your order at the counter, they add on an additional $1.00 per meal for the eggs and if you want a coffee refill you take your cup to the counter to get it. (We were the only customers at the time) My husband had an omelet with bacon, sausage, cheese, which consisted of 2 eggs, most restaurants prepare an omelet with 3 eggs: more should have been added to the omelet, this was pretty flat, more like a crepe, definitely not the portion as you get in other restaurants. Each order came with home fries and ONE slice of toast....really? Your only choice of toast is Texas. I ordered the special, 2 eggs over easy, sausage, home fries with the one slice of toast. Coffee is $2.99 and orange juice is $3.99, Our bill was $26.00, plus the tip placed in the tip jar.

    No frills breakfast that is hot and fast. You pay and order at the counter and they bring it to you. Wish they came around with coffee refills.

    Exactly the kind of place I was looking for. I hadn't looked at the menu ahead of time- tried the gyro omelette and it was great.

    I've been to this location several times and have given it good reviews in the past. If today was…read moremy first visit to this location, I would never ever come back. I took my father there on Sunday April 19th at 5pm. Before I get started with the negative, I would like the manager of this location to know that they are very lucky to have Maddy as an employee. Now for the bad: when we walked in, at least four tables were filthy. Three tables had their chairs up like they were getting ready to close and there were three dirty tables in the back. We sat at the only clean table. The employee named Katy should no longer be working there. I don't know how anybody gets paid to be that rude to people. She didn't smile she didn't say hello when I told her I didn't come there often she wasn't helpful. I only ordered two sandwiches and drinks. It was a low maintenance order and she literally made me feel bad for making her take the time to wait on me. It was a horrible customer experience. While I was there, some guy came in who had gone home and come back because he was given the wrong sandwich. I didn't hear her apologize once. I took a picture and it's posted on this website of the overflowing trash area. The picture that I posted doesn't include our trash. I had to put our trash on top of the pile of trash. The place was a mess. I will say there is potential in the employee name Maddy she was super excited about the company and how they keep things fresh. She was excited to talk about the company and seemed proud. To the management, this place needs one heck of a makeover in every sense of the word

I downloaded their app, placed an order for a scheduled time, and it was ready when I got there. I went with the prime rib steak and cheese. Everything was cooked as it should have been. I thought the bread tasted fresher than a typical Subway sandwich. Chips were good. My only complaint was they gave me a bottle of Diet Coke instead of regular and I didn't notice until on the road. Yuk.. but I supposed it was better for me healthwise. Lol. This was my first visit to any Potbelly and I was impressed. I'll eat here again when I'm in the area. I look forward to trying some of their other sandwich types.

We haven't seen these friends in a bit so we were kinda eating and lounging and talking. We ordered the original corn beef to split the regular size and we got the homade potato and cole slaw. Our guests got the corn beef as well and potato pancakes as their side. One liked the potato pancakes and one did not. They are mash potato consistency not shredded. I tasted they were ok to me. The potato salad and cole slaw were both good. Better choice. The corn beef actually looked smaller than usual. It was good but I thought it had been larger in the past. Maybe not anymore. Service was good. Food came out on time. This is a good place to go. Prices are a bit high but it's a deli. You can do what we did and split the sandwich. It enough food. Bar is nice. The patio is nice too. It's a good space and they even have a party room if you want to rent it out. Slymans is an institution. We will be back at some point again.
