Had the Reuben sandwich and it was excellent, piled a mile high with some tasty sauerkraut. The fries served in a cone was brilliant, easy to eat while walking. Had it with spicy mayo. Super delicious. That team serving me were quick and delightful.

Honestly, everything I've had here has been nothing but superb! BEST Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I've ever had! Mouthwatering Ribeye steak on a buttery toasted bun. From the fresh cut fries, poutine, pulled pork sandwich, the list goes on. I highly recommend you try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Fresh cut fries, WITH the delicious and nutritious potato skin still on!!! Yahoooo!!! There was a minor problem with my order, which Sherry was happy to correct. She also asked how the Philly cheese steak was, which was really considerate and showed "next level" customer service. The sandwich was great, by the way! They have buzz tags that go off when your order is ready, which was nice as it allowed more time for lounging around on the comfy adirondack patio. Thanks for making our meal great, Sherry! Note: do NOT use their salt packets. They contain aluminum! Note 2: the patio is not protected from rain. Perfect for a sunny day and nice weather. Not good on a rainy day. Note 3: we ordered the large philly cheese steak sub sandwich with "fat" fries and a mango bottled drink. All together was $35. Im a big fries lover, and the two if us were very satisfied.
