    Chicken Gyro Special
    Matt K.

    Chicken Gyro was delicious! This place is kinda hidden on the side of another building hence "Side Street" but has a lot of space inside. Nice when I feel like eating out for lunch Definitely coming back to try their other sandwiches

    Still so good. The soups are great. All sandwiches fresh. Daily specials. Multiple homemade soups daily. Please support these hardworking owners.

    ordered the chicken salad sandwich, it was great and ready quickly. they gave me ample condiments w my carry out order and napkins and utensils. even a lil piece of candy with it which i didn't order but was cute and sweet. it's quiet and unassuming tucked off the main road. the people working there were very nice and helpful. the entrance is on the side of the building if you have trouble finding it

    Greek salad with gyro

    Have driven past it a million times and never knew it was there until I googled lunch places near me. Nicely decorated with all sorts of artwork. Service was good. Food was good, although $17.50 for a greek salad with a few pieces of gyro seemed high to me. There is only one cashier/server there so have patience.

    Rachel Sandwich (corned beef, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, Russian  dressing, on toasted rye) with relish dish, and chips. Cup of Seafood Gumbo.

    So the hot mozzarella sticks are finally back--and yeah, they're exactly what I was waiting for…read more Super gooey, stuffed with cheese, and honestly messy in the best way. No complaints there. I also tried the buffalo chicken bites with slaw. The flavor is solid--good buffalo heat without going overboard--but the bites themselves felt a little inconsistent in size and crispiness. Some were perfect, others a bit soft like they sat for a minute too long. The slaw helped balance everything out though. The place itself is very modern and loud on purpose--graffiti-style walls, music blasting, more of a "hangout and vibe" spot than somewhere you're trying to have a quiet meal. Not bad, just depends on your mood. Pickup was smooth--my order was ready when I got there, and the staff were actually nice and helpful, not the rushed/checked-out vibe you sometimes get at busy spots. Only real critique: the music was a bit too loud for a pickup situation. I get the atmosphere they're going for, but it's borderline overwhelming if you're just grabbing food and leaving. Overall though, I'd come back. The mozzarella sticks alone are doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

    Just happened to stop in on a random Friday afternoon, and I was so glad that I did. The chicken…read moreand fries were absolutely delicious...both were crispy and well seasoned.

    Ten years ago, I met Kathy. She used to work at AAI just up the road from Charcoal Deli. She said…read moreMark ran a great shop and the pit beef was great. Also, their Lemonade/Half&Half/Flavorade drink was exceptional, primarily because Mark brewed his own sugar syrup. She's right. I can't speak to the other items on the menu because I'm smitten by the Pit Beef. I live just inside the beltway. We usually call in the order, get in the car and by the time we get there, the food is ready. You can eat at the picnic table out front, or in your car. Sometimes we wait until we get back home. You've probably blown by Church Road a thousand times. Go west, one block. Charcoal Deli is on the right. And there's a hispanic grocery store right there in case you need to pick up a few things. Here's a picture all dressed up for Summer with the awnings and umbrellas.

    Good bang for your buck at this place! Got a pit beef sandwich! A little too much bread in my…read moreopinion, but the flavor of the pit beef had that great Maryland taste! I got a pit turkey for lunch the next day! Same concept, very great tasting turkey, but a little too much roll. The Pit chicken my wife had gotten had a delicious taste to it. The fries come a plenty! A little salty, but fresh cut! The location was convenient right off the main drag near Cockeysville. Service was great! They messed up the order, but we're quick to fix everything and gave a little extra fries for the mishap! The location itself was unique. Baseball cards were plexy glassed into the counter. We went at night time, unsure if there was seating or not. We got ours to go. Quick little to go counter worked well.

    Did we even eat at the same Bruno's everyone else is raving about? I should've taken a photo of our…read morefood before writing this, because I honestly don't know how anyone could defend what we were served. We ordered two 16" pizzas--the Parmigiana Chicken and the Napoli--plus 14 wings. The wings were laughably small and wildly overpriced, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of how bad this experience was. I was excited to try this place. The reviews were glowing, the photos looked incredible, and we chose Bruno's specifically to celebrate New Year's Eve with my partner. What a mistake. Both pizzas were completely ruined. Burnt, tough, dry, and utterly flavorless. They looked nothing like the pictures in the reviews--almost no sauce, overcooked to the point of being inedible, and closer to stale cheesy cardboard than pizza. If this is "authentic," then authenticity has a serious problem. For a moment, we genuinely wondered if we had been given someone else's order or sent food from the wrong restaurant. But no--this was Bruno's. The same Bruno's people are apparently losing their minds over. What's most insulting is that someone saw these pizzas, knew they were overcooked, and sent them out anyway. Charging full price for food this bad feels deceptive at best. When you compare what we received to the photos other reviewers have posted, it honestly feels like a bait-and-switch. Never again. I'll happily drive to Pasta Mista in Towson from now on--the only place around here that seems to understand what pizza is actually supposed to be.
