    I come here often and enjoy the food. I always get the Caribbean jerk chicken wrap with the detox island green smoothie. I do always ask for no cheese on my wrap which if I order on the app, they don't always do. Yesterday my smoothie was not blended and did not taste right which was a bummer. Normally they are much better.

    This is a good place for a quick meal on the go. They have a wide variety of acai bowls, smoothies, wraps, and salads that are usually prepared fresh and ready to eat within 10 minutes. I ordered the Bahama Mama bowl and loved the base and topping combo, however, the portion was very small for how much the product cost. My friend ordered the Detox Island Green smoothie, and it wasn't blended well; there were chunks of ice and unblended greens when she opened the lid to see. The person who took our order was not pleasant to interact with, but the person who gave us our food was kind. The restaurant was clean and well-kept.

    I admittedly hold grudge as Tropical Smoothie Cafe occupies the space formerly used by Qdoba. It is a solid replacement. It met my expectations , similar to Jamba and other fast causal smoothie concepts. I tried the Island Punch Smoothie. It was good but could have used a little kick- tajin maybe?

    Happy hour prices (Monday to Thursday 3pm to 5pm) are amazing. Got my tall smoothie for less than $5. The peanut paradise is delicious. They also made my drink quick.

    Came at 7:20AM on a Thursday and they were closed. Sign says they open at 7. I guess they are more of an afternoon smoothie shop.

    I'd like to update my review with more accuracy. I'm giving 5 stars to Robert specifically. When Robert is not working and not presently there, this location needs extra help with management. Being someone in hospitality myself I have a good idea on what to expect as an employee communicating and interacting with a customer. The place is empty with no sense of urgency in making anything. Smoothies that should take 2-3 minutes being made in 5-10 when no customers are present, food taking even longer. The management team when Robert is not at work is not professional. The pace is very slow and it feels like they genuinely don't want to be here. One person cannot carry the work load forever. Some of the other managers are teenagers with no care in the world, understandably so. it's still a business and needs to be conducted as such.

    Pastrami is a fat delivery system. That is the entire point of the cut, the cure, the smoke, and…read morethe steam. Whoever built this sandwich decided fat was a liability, trimmed the brisket down to something you'd find in a hospital cafeteria, and then served it anyway. What arrived was a stack of lean, gray-edged slices with no give and no moisture whatsoever. You could hear it more than taste it. Chewing produced no juice, no render, nothing. It just sat there getting smaller. I am not exaggerating when I say you would need a glass of water on the table to dunk it in, and even then I'm not confident it would go down. Then the rye. Somebody griddled it in butter, which coats the crumb in dairy and flattens the caraway into nothing. Rye for pastrami gets a light toast at most, and that's if it needs anything at all. Butter turns it into a grilled cheese chassis with the cheese removed. On a pastrami sandwich it's a category error. My people spent two thousand years perfecting this sandwich. Somebody in that kitchen reverse-engineered it back into jerky on a sponge. There are delis in New York that would treat this as a personal provocation. I've eaten the correct version of this sandwich. It comes carved by hand, on untoasted rye, with enough fat to shorten a life. That's the deal. You give up a few years and you get something worth eating. What this place serves takes the years and gives nothing back. Two dollars less and it's a bad lunch. At this price it's contempt. The coleslaw does not save it. One star, and that's for the plate.

At this one, the mural is awesome -- it pays homage to vehicles from past television shows. (See how many you recognize! I laughed pretty hard at Thomas the Tank Engine since I watched that with my kids.) I am on a quest to try every sandwich from the Cheba Hut menu and I have worked my way through most of the main menu. I am mostly finishing up the vegetarian section before hitting the grilled cheese. (Peanut butter and honey on wheat is great, BTW!) I mention this because there is a "Secret Stash" menu and this shop features the "Bikini Bottom." When I ordered it, the cashier got excited because, "nobody orders that one!" Apparently, I am that guy. The Bikini Bottom: cream cheese, turkey, onions, pineapple, strawberry jelly, provolone, and bacon. I had it on the Parmesan herb bread with the jalapeño cream cheese option and it was quite tasty. I don't know what is wrong with people :D It is too bad that this location is so far from where I live, but it is nice to know that it is here for when I am far from home and need a "toasted" sandwich. Oh, don't forget the Kool-Aid! (Grape, Blue and Red)

This is now the second time within a week they couldn't get my order out in less than 40 minutes. It was not as if the were slammed and had a huge line. I ordered on line because I have learned that if you order in person you will set and wait a long long time. I now order online wait 15 minutes and the drive the about 5 minutes to the store. Usually my order is ready a few minutes after I get there (still a long time for a sandwich but they are really good). The last two times I followed my usual process, order wait 15 minutes then drive over, but these 2 times it was another 30 plus minutes of waiting. I am on my lunch break I can't spend that kind of time no matter how delicious the sandwich is. Two tips one for the owner one for customers Owner: try to hire people who don't come to work high. Sandwiches might get made much faster that way Customers: Order about an hour a head of time.

    I absolutely love finding places like Casella's. This is what a true family business is all about…read more Casella's has been here since 1977, started by Joe and Tina Casella, and 49 years later their daughter Denise is still carrying on what her family built. I happened to show up about 30 minutes before they opened after finding the place online. Denise saw me poking around outside and actually let me in early, and I'm really glad she did. I ordered the cold cut trio, which was fantastic, but the experience became so much more than just grabbing a sandwich. Denise started giving me tastes of some of the things they make in-house while I was putting together food to take with me. The chicken salad was incredible, the pickled vegetables were excellent, and everything had that homemade quality you just don't find very often anymore. What really makes this place special, though, is the story and the people behind it. Denise has basically grown up in this deli, and you can feel nearly five decades of family history the minute you walk through the door. Nothing corporate about it -- just a great old-school neighborhood deli, great food, and a family that genuinely cares about what they're doing. Places like this are becoming harder and harder to find. Five stars all day. Highly, highly recommend Casella's. And if you get the chance to meet Denise, even better.

With nearly 50 years in business, I really wanted to experience this family-run establishment -- and it didn't disappoint.

You could feel the history in the room, especially watching longtime customers come in -- some who have been visiting for over 20 years. Tried the cheesesteak -- simple and satisfying, and very much in line with the deli's old-school charm. Overall, a great spot to step into a piece of local history and absolutely worth a visit. Saluti.
