The deli is the main attraction, and we got a couple sandwiches. I got a reuben, their leanest cut, and it was really good. There was so much meat--too much for me, but it is super filling. They also have a bakery, though I didn't pick anything up from there. There's lots of soups, too, which I'll probably pick up if I visit again. There are some specialty foods, and they have some tables both in and outside if you'd like to stay a while.

While I waited they have a nice selection of baked goods. Cookies, bread and desserts!! The decor is eclectic with nice nods to delis. I received my sandwich and ate outside, because the indoor dining area was full. My sandwich was really good, I would like a little extra mustard next time. The meat was tender and flavorful.

The serving of yuca fries tasted similar to what we had before, but they served it with ketchup and not the original delicious homemade sauce. I doubt I will go back. Sayonara, OG Cultura Subs ;_;

Some standouts for me were the steak jibarito, the Philly cheesesteak, and the shawarma bowl. The staff also gave us a freebie which was so thoughtful of them! I think it was an app, but I honestly didn't get to try it since my partner devoured it before I got a chance. No matter, we were stuffed regardless! We ordered takeout, and the food was still hot when we tucked in. I can only imagine the menu is even better in person. If you're in the mood for some cultural crossover cuisine, I highly recommend Cultura Subs if you're in the area!

Lots of downfalls upon my visit here…read more Most importantly, stale bagels. I ordered two breakfast bagels (egg, cheese, sausage), a plain bagel with cream cheese, and a lox bagel and two mini plain bagels for my kids. Not one person enjoyed their bagel. It was extra chewy, dry, and absolutely tasteless. The lox was forgettable. The cream cheese was good, but that was it. Add on a very long wait time for a line that wasn't very long and less than friendly service and that leads to this low review. The only perk was the parking lot and arriving early on a Wednesday left ample parking. Will definitely try out another option next time we want bagels.

Perfectly greasy, and the caramlized onions and spinach really elevated it. Another person in our group had the turkey on a pretzel bun and said it was amazing. Also, a great range of drink options.

Would definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

My boyfriend and I ordered chicken to share as well as waffle fries. My daughter ordered a burger. My aunt ordered chicken as well. My uncle ordered a bowl of sorts with rice and meat. The person taking our order was friendly, patient, and told us to move tables around to accommodate our party of five plus all of the food. The staff also kept giving us free items to try as we were eating, like French fries and a banana pudding. The banana pudding was not large enough to share with everyone so I waited until I was back in the car to head to bingo and split it with my boyfriend. It tasted like banana Laffy Taffy so I am not sure how I feel about that. The breasted chicken was cooked to order, hot, crispy, and had a little kick to it. The rice was flavorful. The onion rings were okay. The waffle fries were definitely superior to the traditional ones. The hamburger was good! The restaurant space was clean, quiet, and spacious. I would make the drive for the broasted chicken again! I wish The Fry Fusion all the success!

The Turkey Club has oven roasted turkey, crispy bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and garlic mayo. I opted out of the bacon and garlic mayo, substituting mustard! You can either have it in a white or whole wheat roll; I chose white. The turkey was sliced thin - it was very tender. The avocado add a nice touch to the tasty sandwich! I tried the Chicken Tenders the little ones were eating - they were very good! Crispy fried coating with a thick, tender piece of chicken!

I really liked it! I had never had boursin (a type of spreadable cheese) before. All the flavors melded well together, although I didn't like the texture of the arugula so I removed that after a few bites. Would definitely order that sandwich again. My husband had the Steak & Egg sandwich which he said was good but I didn't care for the flavor combo. It is described as such: Tender roast beef, melted American cheese, and caramelized onions layered with a souffléd egg on a toasted ciabatta. It's interesting in the picture it shows a waffle instead of ciabatta. I guess they got rid of the waffles altogether? They should probably update the sandwich photo is that's the case.
