But I'm going to tell you everybody hustles of this place. The orders come up fast even though it was busy. We sat down at the counter and ordered up a Ryan, it is a signature roast beef coleslaw lettuce, onions, tomato with Swiss sandwich... It had Russian dressing on it and the roll was as fresh as the roast. Beef was rare. Absolutely delicious!. The iced tea was real and tasty and you could add your own sugar to get it to the right sweetness and we added a drink from the refrigerators that will help yourself. The milkshakes look delicious, but we decided to split a cookie which tasted homemade and very chocolatey for the ride home. What a great place with inside and outside seating. Employees that work hard but smile and food that was as fresh as possible. We will be back.

I've been visiting this place for many years, sometimes quite regularly indeed. The soup never, and…read moreI mean never, disappoints. If you love soup, pay them a visit ASAP, even if it's a bit of a drive for you. The chili? Excellent. The chicken noodle? Sublime; it's mild yet flavorful, which is a tricky thing to pull off. They offer at least eight soups per day, so you'll always find something for you. The french rolls you get with your soup complete the meal; I shove my roll into the bowl, load it up with broth, and take a bite. Delicious! Where you have to be careful is with the other stuff they offer here. The store is loaded with other things like desserts, salads and sandwiches. These are hit-and-miss. The sandwiches are all pre-made, cold and frankly nothing special. They offer a spicy pasta salad that simply doesn't work. (I've never tried a spicy pasta dish that I liked.) The potato salad is fine. I've been told the tuna salad is okay. If you're in doubt, skip the other stuff and stick to the soup. The soup really IS the star of this place.

He got the Israeli breakfast sub vegan kofta kebabs for the tuna and I got the vegetable shakshuka. The Israeli plate is a cornucopia of items, the pics don't do it justice. The plate was bigger than his head. He was in heaven, mmmmm-ing and ohhhing as he ate. I had the shakshuka. Now, I make this at home and have eaten it at numerous restaurants. I know good shakshuka. It was divine. The perfect amount of heat, eggs were properly runny, and the veggies were a perfect balance of crunch and spring. An espresso vanilla bean hurricane, was a delightful addition to the rest of our lunch. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The cafe interior was utilitarian and well maintained. The staff delivering food were attentive to other guests needs as they walked by. All in all, excellent food and experience. I look forward to returning.

But I've been majorly disappointed in the execution of most of the things I have had. You can count on your hands the tiny bits of veg in the Asian noodles and the liquid in them had just a very faint Asian flavor. I drained them and added a jarred pasta sauce. The turkey pie was good, but meager for the price of $23, added cream of chicken soup and more chicken. The veg with a chicken sausage had no reason for hanging out together, so I ate the sausage and tossed the veg. My favorite so far was the rhubarb crumble cake. It was very easy to order online and then pick up, plus they deliver once a week within a 10-mile radius. I'm sure you can find something you like at Renee's but it might take a while of trying various items.

For $17.95, getting 3 rolls of sushi isn't a bad deal, so I'm giving this a 4/5. The combo comes with a spicy tuna roll, a california roll, and a salmon avocado roll. Spicy Tuna Roll: This was pretty disappointing. I really love spicy tuna rolls that have the minced tuna, spicy mayo, and tempura flakes all mixed together, but this was not that. This roll was a tuna cucumber roll with spicy mayo drizzled on top. With that, the spicy mayo was really overpowering and I couldn't taste the tuna at all. I'd prefer the normal tempura and mayo taste or just a tuna and cucumber, but doing it this way wasn't my favorite. California Roll: This was not bad - the imitation crab was big and plump and there was fish roe inside of the roll instead of on the outside which made it have a better texture in my opinion. The avocado was fresh and these bites were pretty enjoyable. Salmon Avocado Roll - This was the best roll of the 3 - the salmon tasted good and the avocado was fresh again. In all 3 rolls, the rice was a little dense, but at least it was a very filling 3 rolls for a good price point. 4/5!

Service was friendly. Unfortunately, I really didn't like what I ordered…read more I got the Pla (fish) with vegetables, and it was too salty for me and didn't have another clear flavor in its favor. There wasn't a strong ginger or garlic essence like I'm used to in a Thai brown gravy. My friends seemed happy with their curries though...so maybe I just ordered wrong. On Sunday, they have a very strong takeout business, which also impacted the ambience. At one point there were like six people waiting in line at the entrance. In such a small establishment, it changes the vibe to have people hovering and getting impatient and clarifying orders, with the frequent entrance/exit of new patrons. Our table was closest to the entrance so we probably "felt" it more than other tables would have. Still, for the "mom's night out" space that we were cultivating, I would've preferred to pay more to go someplace that had less of a takeout vibe.
