After hearing great things about Fat Larry's in Reading, I decided to stop by recently. This casual…read moresandwich and ice cream shop offers a variety of signature made to order deli sandwiches, create your own sandwiches, bag chips, snacks, cold cooler drinks, hard scoop ice cream (cups & cones), sundaes, floats, frappes, and freezes. The pricing is moderate here and they also offer DoorDash delivery. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating along the wall and front windows, plus a gumball machine. I ordered the fan favorite Turkey Apple Cheddar ($12 plus tax) making it Fat Larry-Double Meat (add $2) which was made to order promptly and wrapped to go. The sandwich had plenty of deli sliced roast turkey, cheddar cheese, romaine lettuce, apples, mayo, & an onion fig jam between toasted marble rye (my choice of bread). This sandwich was amazing and I will have to also try out their other sandwiches on my next visits to Fat Larry's.

I finally tried Professor's Market again last week and found a different employee from last time…read morewho did the same thing as the previous one. They are clearly trained to take your order, then your payment, then go off to a little niche far away and make the sub exactly as they want to. If you want extra mayo, or no pickles, or any other adjustment, you are stuck. But, this time, after my last experience, I leaned over the counter and tried to keep my eyes on him and, sure enough, I spotted him start to put pickles and other veggies on it without asking me anything. I called out to him and told him I how I wanted it made and he did so but it was a nuisance. The sub was good again but I don't recommend anyone buy one at this place unless you're happy with the shop deciding exactly how they make your sub. If you want a choice however, virtually every other sub shop in the region will ask you first and give you a chance to tell them how to finish the sub.

Isaac greeted my friend and I when we arrived for breakfast and recommended the corned beef hash…read morewith eggs on top. It's homemade and was a really good recommendation! The corned beef is large chunks, not small diced pieces found in most commercial and canned hash. The potatoes, peppers, and onions gave a nice texture and flavor. I had it topped with two over medium eggs which were perfectly cooked. As I was eyeing the French toast, he gave me a single piece which included their fruit infused whipped cream and was really, really good! That might be my entree next time. My friend got the crepes and her face was doing happy expressions while she was eating. My new best friend Maria kept my coffee mug full-she visited the table frequently to make sure my mug never got low nor cold. She also took care to clean the table promptly as plates were finished. Now if my kids could learn that... oh wait, this is a diner review. The ambiance is cute and chic. There was easy access to accommodate wheel chairs and they have their menu clearly marked for gluten free available and vegan options (most of the menu). The menu is on the fancier side; they will prepare whatever someone wants (e.g. if someone just wants 2 eggs and bacon, they can easily do that). The location is on Main St. so parking is hit or miss. If you are nearby and want something good, this is a good option!

The last time I was in the Boston area, I was blown away by Carls on prospect. See that review…read more This time I am staying in Woburn and was very hopeful that I had found another great gem. Most reviews would give you that idea. I ordered the steak and cheese with mushrooms for 9.90 with tax. The flavor was just ok but what really surprised me was how light the sandwich was when i picked it up. I would say 5 ozs of meat and mushrooms. The only comparison that comes to mind is a 5.00 cheese steak from WaWa, if your familiar with that gas station deli. I travel extensively and eat at wawa entirely too often up and down the east coast. Perhaps Olympia's other offerings are better? In retrospect I wish I would have gotten the two slices and drink combo for 40% less. Probably better tasting and certainly more food.

Up until now, I'd never had a fast food place advertise something as "hot" or "spicy" and actually…read moremean it. Dave's Hot Chicken apparently took that personally. I ordered the chicken sandwich combo with fries--mild, I think. Maybe medium. Whatever it was, it had more legitimate heat than the Burger King Jalapeño Whopper ever dreamed of having, and it made Taco Bell's Diablo sauce taste like something you'd give a toddler. It wasn't painful, just the kind of spice that politely reminds you who's in charge. The chicken was juicy, the breading stayed crispy, and the sandwich had just the right amount of everything. The fries deserve some credit too. Crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy inside--the way fries always promise to be but rarely are. When the box showed up, my first thought was, "That's it?" Five minutes later I was forcing down the last few bites because I refused to let perfectly good chicken go to waste. The portions are a lot more filling than they look. We had everything delivered through DoorDash, so I can't say much about the restaurant itself, but whoever packed the order deserves a shout-out. Everything was boxed neatly, looked like it had actually been assembled by someone who cared, and somehow arrived still steaming hot. If you had told me it had come straight from the kitchen to my table, I would've believed you. First time trying Dave's, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Now I just have to work up the courage--or stupidity--to order something hotter next time.

I love Pressed Cafe! I have gone to quite a few of their locations and am always impressed. I love…read morehow each location has its own style and flair from a layout and decor standpoint but that they all keep the same level of efficiency and quality. I was really happy to hear that a location was opened in Woburn as it's wicked close. This one is in a great spot with plenty of parking - while the street itself on can get busy/hectic, something has to be! This location also has a nice sized outdoor seating space with a mixture of tables both in sun and shade via umbrellas. The inside is open and spacious with lots of nooks and crannies. They have a menu dock when you first walk in, and they have added two kiosks for self-service ordering. If you prefer to order with a person, you can still do that too up at the counter, and then there is another menu dock up by the registers to dispose of the menu upon ordering. The placement of the self-serve kiosks is good because you can't miss it, however, with how crowded and busy Pressed Cafes can get it can easily get really crowded since it is by the door - and if you don't realize it's kiosks, I'm afraid people will stand around waiting not necessarily knowing they can go order at the counter. Now let's talk the menu. It's massive with so many options. They do breakfast and lunch items all day long. So many options like you could go to pressed every day for a long time and/or for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and still have a different item for days, weeks, and maybe a few months. Now, every location has the same core menu, but some locations have extra sections or items - most notably for this Woburn location, is the brick oven and pizza - which smells so delish! The food is always amazing, always fresh, and made to order. Plus the portion size is very generous!! I have never got something that was not good and I did not like! I find the service to also be excellent. They are very friendly and again with how busy it gets there, they do a phenomenal job at keeping things moving - from taking orders, to delivering your order, to getting pickup/online orders ready, to cleaning up tables, etc. - they are so efficient. Prices are moderate. Depending on what you get, it can get pricey but it's not terribly overpriced considering - it is an upscale cafe and well, you do get what you pay for. All in all, I rant and rave about Pressed Cafes. You want breakfast, Pressed. You want coffee shop, Pressed. You want lunch, Pressed. You want a cool, hip, vibing place, Pressed. You want quick and efficient service, Pressed. Not sure what you want but want fresh, Pressed. Just go to Pressed! I did a pick up order for Chai Tea Latte a while ago for my first time at this shop and then went back most recently for sit down meals twice in one weekend - lunch and then breakfast. Pictured is my coffee from breakfast. Forgot to snap pics of the rest, but all looked and tasted great!

We got a bunch if appetizers - started with the calamari which just has such a good flavor with the marinara and cherry pepper rings in it, then the crab rangoon dip which was okay but not my favorite, the portion was really small with a ton of a chips but no dip. We also got the crispy green beans which are exactly what you expect, I do wish they had a bit more seasoning because I don't love the wasabi dipping sauce they come with. We then got the jalapeno and bacon wrapped scallops, as well as the seared pork gyozas which are by far the best appetizer on the menu - the chili slaw it lays on has the most insane flavor and the crispy outside of the gyoza is just to die for. We all got various meals but me and a friend split the hot honey salmon sushi roll and the umami veggie sushi roll - both were amazing!! I will always get the umami, as basic as it is the flavor is just unreal. Only negative thing I have to say is that the service was very very slow, for a Monday night at 7pm, it was busy but not busy enough to not be greeted at the table for 25 minutes, then wait for drinks for 20 minutes and then not get to put our order in until an hour of sitting at the table, so that was a bit disappointing but first time we have had this issue.
