Monday’s special was a Reuben served on a rye/white mix bread with Russian dressing, and it came with chips and a pickle for $8.99. I also ordered the French dip because I wanted to see what that was all about. Both sandwiches came out in under 10 minutes, which was impressive. The service was fast and friendly, and both sandwiches were very good. I was genuinely pleased with both orders and would absolutely order either of them again. One thing I found interesting—and something I’d never seen before—was that they’re known for their crackers and homemade Italian dressing. As soon as you’re seated, they bring out a basket of crackers with their Italian dressing to drizzle on top. It’s not something I would have thought to order on my own, but I actually enjoyed it. A unique and thoughtful touch. If you’re ever in the area, this is a solid stop. It’s also kind of nice strolling through the old mall—small, laid-back, and nostalgic. Overall, a really enjoyable visit. Grub Score 8.0/10.0"
