    Thin bacon, ordered over easy eggs they were not as easy as id have liked
    Edward B.

    Went to my very trusty Yelp to find a good quick breakfast spot, one I hadn't tried before, decided to cross the 1-17 heading west‍ ‍. despite having a hard time finding real time up to date pricing. It's in a rough neighborhood. Started out ok ordered the Cecillia special, brought out in a timely manner, immediately noticed razor thin bacon ( as shown in pic.) As a huge carnivore kinda disappointed, however the Green salsa made up for it. Was going to give them a solid 4, until the owner out of the blue started in on politics loudly espousing very radical liberal rhetoric. Completely uncalled for and inappropriate. After retiring from Union Ironworks 28 yrs, and miltary disability, so 2 pensions i still supplement my income by doing gig work, so i understand about customer service. Rule mumber 1# don't bring up politics in front of customers/riders/clients. And thats why i have 5 ratings across multiple platforms I don't assume everybody shares my views. Especially when you are charging 14$ for a breakfast plate that used to go for 8$ in alot of places 3-4 yrs ago throughout the valley. I retired 3 yrs ago with no expectation of ever working again, but with inflation and higher cost im forced back into the workforce. So last thing i want to hear about while dining out is politics. I've reviewed many times over several platforms in different cities and countrys over the yrs, rarely do i ever leave bad reviews, i normally just leave it alone and skip the review entirely. This left a bad taste in my mouth. Its inappropriate even if he supported conservatives.

    Best place in the desert to have a sandwich. Fuck yeah
    Coy K.

    Holy shit get your ass in there and order a sandwich fuck all those franchise bullshit get in here and get you some soup and get you some friendly people get you some customer service get you somebody that can actually talk to another human being. Holy fuck was it good?

    Classic BLT with avocado
    Varina R.

    This is only my second time coming here but once again, Lunch Time exceeds my expectations. I ordered the classic BLT with avocado toasted, and it was amazing. There was an abundance of bacon, the bread was soft but toasty, the amount of each ingredient was perfect. Best BLT I've ever had. I also had the broccoli cheddar soup and it was pretty good. My kids had hot dogs which were huge! They loved them. The service was amazing. They made us feel at home and like family. The cafe was very clean and comfy. It's a little pricey but absolutely worth every bit of it.

    Pastrami and sauerkraut
    Donald C.

    One of Phoenix's hidden treasures. So good that I have already tried 25% of the menu. I must give two thumbs up for everything I have tried. The breakfast item Cecelia Special is one of the best breakfast items that I have ever had. The Pastrami and sauerkraut sandwiches are amazing. The Reubens rock. I could go on, but you get the idea. Find the place and it will be a new favorite. Tonight the BBQ chicken and mushroom. Next week the world!

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Cheba Hut is a cannabis-themed sub shop eatery, and parking ended up being manageable. The place was very busy when I arrived, so I grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was clearly juggling a lot but stayed friendly and personable. The place was super clean, and I immediately loved the laid-back neighborhood vibe near Roosevelt Row. I ordered the French dip sub along with a munchie- pretzel nugs. Cheba offers three sandwich sizes (Nug, Pinner, and Blunt), which makes ordering easy depending on your appetite. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, and the pretzel mugs were especially good, soft and salty, Parking here is a little more limited than some other locations, but overall I really enjoyed my first visit and was happy to learn there are multiple Cheba Hut locations around town. I'll definitely be back.

This was my second Cheba Hut experience and it will not be my last. When you find a special sandwich place you just can't keep yourself away. The ultimate test of time - I ordered their Italian. They give it their own twist and it delivers. Everyone working there is super friendly, and there is a ton of seating. Very cool casual sandwich spot.

I stepped into this joint and transported back in time - Sunday after church, five years old again with my grandparents, standing at the counter of Giannella's in Paterson, NJ. With the exception of the cashier dude, the staff was...uh..."mezza morto," and definitely in need of some Italian or Italian-American inspiration. A little life. A little rhythm. A smile perhaps. I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich, add wet mozzarella, hot soppressata, roasted red peppers, oil, and balsamic.. The cutlets were too thick and the mozzarella, although fresh, was strangely tasteless. Apparently this sandwich was infused with gold, crypto, or something because it rang in at $24 with the add-ons. My person had the eggplant parm, which unfortunately was over-seasoned with only a slight trace of mozzarella. The marinara on the side was undefinable. We hit the bakery on the way out. The sfogliatella and cannoli were great, and so were the ladies behind the counter, warm, lively, and actually happy to be there. Look, I'm goin' back to Romanelli's. I'll even pay another $24 for a sandwich. There's a reason this place has been there for decades, and they deserve another shot.
