My niece wanted the chocolatey-est dessert on the menu so our awesome waiter (a very personable and kind guy) recommended a multi-layered chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and we decided to have it a la mode. He asked if we wanted it hot or warm. We ordered it warm and in hindsight we wish we'd ordered it hot but it was still perfect for a chocolate fix. He even brought out a candle for the cake when he found out her birthday was coming up the following week. I also ordered a cheesecake and we shared each other's desserts. Needless to say we had plenty to take home and we thoroughly enjoyed it the following day as well and at a hotter temperature that was perfect with soft serve ice cream.

I mean my pocket book is probably better for it because I want to buy the whole store but honestly I've been missing out. The place is cute and welcoming from the corner sign on the building to the moment you step in- bright, inviting, great displays so you know where to go. You can't get lost in here with the signage, but you can't definitely get lost in the aisles with all the great, unique choices. The ready food display has so many Mediterranean treats, some I've had before some I've never heard of and everything I tried was amazing. We got the cabbage rolls and Armenian veggie dolmas. Great flavor, both specific items I haven't had before. Nice citrus, spiced flavor to these. I'd say they're have to try items. Not only found jarred tomato paste, which I've been on the hunt for but they had choices in this category and that's another first for me. Will have to go back and try the others. Also got the cured Serrano ham -amazing. And I thought the prices were going to be insane having a spot right in the middle of the city and nope- pleasantly surprised for my goodies, great prices even less than some of the other stores I frequent in the suburbs. I'll be back again and again and again until I try the whole store lol. Definitely give them a try, you won't regret it

Perfectly prepared, big portions. The clam basket comes with fries but I opted for med Mac n cheese. You can order full belly clams or strips which I got. The breading is light which lets the clams shine. The crab cake had a unique-to-me take (Maine) and I loved it! Full of lump and claw meats - not a bunch of fillers. The decor is a nod to Maine. The menu offers subs, several Lobster roll options (I spied my neighbors and they look legit) chowder, bisque, even salt water taffy.

Note that. We ordered three courses and our waiter forgot one of them. He had no problem asking if we wanted more wine. When I asked for extra sauce for pizza, I was asked if I wanted 6oz or 8 oz. So,note, you are charged by ounce. There were only 5 tables filled tonight. So sad what was once a family restaurant is a bar/no cares place to grab a pizza. Maybe ditch the TVs. Just so amateur.

The ranch dressing is some of the best you will ever eat. I'm surprised at how many places can't seem to serve great pizza and salad, but this place does! Beautifully updated dining area, (love the decor) and the service is excellent! My only complaint was our bread service arrived almost the time our food did, (wished it was served with the salad) and was a bit dried out. However, the delicious garlic butter on top did help out!

So you know I had to try it. Honestly the food and service were both good. I think chick fil a is still better but I can see why it made it to the top. Got the #13 Italian on their famous rosemary bread. They don't really toast here but they can grill if you want. Takes about 4-5 minutes and they'll need to add Mayo to get a decent sear. I didn't bother because no toaster obviously means they don't really do that. But it's nice that they'll accommodate if you want a grilled bun. They don't have many toppings. Just lettuce tomatoes and onions. I got my 6" "Mike's Way" which includes all of these plus olive oil and some spices (probably oregano and basil but I'm not sure). Good location for an easy pop but traffic can get congested in this part of Sawdust at times. Staff was nice which always makes for a positive experience. They have a rewards club too if you go often enough. Also got some cookies. By volume the big cookie pack and the mini cookies are equal. Price is $4 and change. Or you can buy a single cookie for $2 and change. I thought they were pretty good. Only chocolate chip offered.

There was a small line during lunch time, but moved fairly quickly. The cheese and meats are sliced fresh to order, and the portion sizes were generous. While they offer both hot and cold subs, I went with a mini original Italian sub, which turned out to be very filling. The vinegar and banana peppers added a nice tangy kick. Overall I'd place Jersey Mike's slightly below Potbelly in terms of the overall experience.

Brooklyn Pizzeria

Fuhgeddaboudit!…read more That's all I gotta say. This place had me talking like I was born in Brooklyn after one bite. I got the special: $30 for a 16-inch cheese pizza (added pepperoni because plain pizza wasn't invited to this party), 10 buffalo wings comes a side of ranch but you can choose a flavor, garlic bread. While we waited, people kept coming in and out grabbing to-go orders. That's always a good sign the food is going to be amazing and everyone knows something I don't. Then the food arrived. I looked at that pizza and said Fuhgeddaboudit. Took one bite Fuhgeddaboudit. The cheese was perfect, the pepperoni had great flavor, and the sauce wasn't trying to take over the whole pizza like it owned the place. Everything was balanced. Then I tried a wing Fuhgeddaboudit. Some of the best oven-baked wings I've had from a pizza shop. My only advice: if you're getting them to go, ask for extra sauce because those wings soak it up faster than a New Yorker can say "Fuhgeddaboudit" Now the garlic bread well that's the only thing that would be sleeping with the fishes. But I'll give it a pass because I've never really been a garlic bread guy anyway. So if you ever see a Brooklyn Pizzera shop and you're hungry, stop in. I promise after that first bite you'll be looking around saying "Fuhgeddaboudit!"
