    We loved Rox Diner. Extensive menu that includes all the diner faves, sprinkled with some Jewish and Irish faves too! Moderate prices, excellent table service, and clean bathrooms. Thanks for all that.

    This was the kids meal.  Two cheese burgers.  It was awesome.

    I love this place. Good food with a friendly staff in a comfortable setting. The thing is that they have really good quality food sourced locally. The menu is extensive for breakfast, brunch or lunch. So many choices. I had the farmers omelette that was delicious. I am sure they pickle their own pickles. The sourdough bread was fabulous as well as the potatoes. I need to go back for lunch. They had a house made vegetarian burger with sweet potatoes and black beans. I get it's the bomb. Good find.

    Visiting town from Florida for work and stumbled across this charming diner! The amazing Rebecca was my server and she was fantastic! The 90s r&b jams was the cherry on my sundae. She asked my name from the start and used it the whole time, nice touch Rebecca! I ordered the G.O.A.T and side of fries, simple and perfect! And just get the pancake when she recommends it, you won't regret it I got mine to go for dessert later

    Grilled Reuben - $12 as of 8/2022

    Great diner although it can get busy! Prices are good and the staff was friendly. Items we ordered (as of 8/2022) - The Big Rig - $14 - Pancakes were phenomenal with just the right amount of sweetness. Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Eggs were cooked to order perfectly as well. Great value for the price. - Grilled Reuben - $12 - Darn tasty. Corned beef was delicious and the size was great for the price. Got the cole slaw as the side which was okay but nothing special. I'd get fries next time. Overall for the price you pay this is a great location for a fantastic brunch.

    Tried Santoros for the first time. Although the Yelp reviews led me to have high expectations, I…read moremostly found disappointment. It is a small place, quite messy, with a lot of activity (baking cookies, slicing meats) that had little to do with customer service. As I was the only customer there (at 1:25 in the afternoon) i was ignored (despite my attempts to converse) until I called out for a chicken parmigiana sandwich to go. The bread is fresh, but the sandwich merely had small pieces of breaded chicken--essentially just little bites, like one would cut for a toddler. Sauce was underwhelming and surprisingly (and disappointingly) sweet. I also purchased some premade penne with marinara for dinner. Again, the marinara was very dull...and sweet. The sandwich cost $14.75, and the penne was another $11.00. There were no pizza slices, no arancini. Rather disappointing and bare. In fact, the lemon cookie I bought, which was NOT mind blowing in any sense, was the single best thing I bought there. I know good Italian deli, and yes, I have been to Sicily on several occasions. This was more like a Subway attempt at Italian food. I do not expect to go back.

Friendly staff and great homemade cookies. THe homemade lemon cream cookies are great here and a reason to go there for alone ... all cookies there are great for that matter...had a Dubai chocolate chip one... but the lemon cookie has me addicted.. Great local spot and easy parking out back. Outdoor seating and staff really care about the food . Get a frequent customer card and they stamp for a free sandwich after 10 stamps! The turkey gobbler sandwich looks inviting next visit. They should add homemade whole dil pickles as add on , a coleslaw or potato salad , pasta salad cup size , Add more chips options or homemade chips? 2 hotdog special for the working guys Or a Daily special... A Breakfast mini sub options premade to go ? I'll be back ... Great sandwiches, great staff, Great spot

    They were recently featured on CBS so I stopped by when in the neighborhood on a Saturday- it's…read moreabout 30 mins from home. A long line wound it's way around the non-perishable food displays. The employees looked a bit frazzled- the line was mostly new customers (like me) who saw the coverage. Everyone was friendly and sandwiches are made to order- they cut the meat as they maybe each order. It took just about an hour to get to the counter- there were at least 30 people ahead of me. I ordered the Italian sub without veggies, a pint of olives and meatballs with cheese and bread. Everything was delicious. Sandwich was excellent-meatballs were amazing. I would call ahead of order online in the future- and let some time pass as it will likely be busy like this for awhile. They use their space well. Lots of free parking. Paid with my phone using Apple Pay. It was good enough that I'd make a special trip to drive the 14 miles to get a repeat order.

    Very disappointing experience at Tutto Italiano…read more I waited in a massive line because of all the hype surrounding the place and specifically went there for the meatballs. Brought them home expecting authentic homemade Italian meatballs and instead got something that tasted like a mass produced frozen food service product. The texture was spongy, oddly uniform, and completely lacking the flavor and character of real homemade meatballs. Honestly, they reminded me of the kind of reheated catering tray meatballs you get at low end buffets or grocery store prepared food sections. What made it worse was the attitude. The owner came across as rude and dismissive when customers raised concerns, and judging by many of the other reviews, that does not seem uncommon. For a place with this kind of reputation, the quality was shockingly underwhelming. I genuinely do not understand the hype.

    Well, you will need Google Maps, a compass and a Boy Scout badge to find this place…read more Between Mayor WU's one way streets that Google Maps don't know about yet? Or the Exodus old window locations closed and the airstream camper location in alley is the new temporary place to order from. But I was tipped off by a bagel buying enthusiast when I was looking in the closed window location puzzled why I didn't see any people or bagels . The nice enthusiast told me that the pick up location is around the corner in a different new alley ... confused still but as Columbo the detective would do... I saw people walking from many directions to the new alley at 8:10 am. I followed the crowd to where others were already in the alley for the ordering process at the airstream trailer ... I was reminded of cousin Eddie in the Christmas movie with Chevy Chase and his camper trailer . The guy in the trailer looked like a horse bookie taking bets with his note pad and credit card machine... he may have been one of the owners after I researched later on website . I ordered a garlic Asiago bagel with butter and a salt bagel with veggie cream cheese. Then I was instructed to stand in alley and wait for my order . The bagel worker bees I then saw them come out of another building door with the bags of bagels and hand out to the experienced bagel buyers who intelligently order ahead . But the wait was quick and the worker bees scurry in and out of the door with the bags. There no tables or an area to eat in the alley . There was No inside coffee selections or Starbucks couches to lounge on eating your bagel sipping the latte to Italian music? I understand this is temporary as old space being renovated? I had my bagels both toasted and were perfect shade of toast . These were excellent different type bagels and not a brick dough filled type that becomes rock hard . The texture of bagel was more of a crunch chew in a good way. The garlic Asiago was a real deal flavor and thus would be excellent for a BLT or tuna or chicken salad for a sandwich , this would be winner chicken sandwich dinner . The salt bagel had a strong salt flavor again in a good way with the veggie cream cheese. The veggie cream cheese needed more veggies in it, but it did the trick to tame my bagel itch. Excellent bagels and the treasure hunt experience to find them was worth it. Clearly by the line of people and congregation of people from differ directions...they have a devoted following... reminded me of a Facebook announcement of a new iPhone release and people sleeping overnight to be first in line . Now, what is their secret of how or what they do to get the crunch texture but remain airy and not doughy? In summary: a great bagel and I need more .

    Hidden temporary location. Other than no coffee lol. Excellent service bagel and order exactly as…read moreordered. Delicious!!
