Order counter.
Dan D.

We've been wanting to try this place for a while. Especially due to the great reviews. We were in the area recently so we gave it a try. For the record, it's obviously very popular with locals as it was pretty full on a Tuesday at lunch. We found a table and decided to eat there instead of taking it to go. I asked the girl at the counter what their most popular sandwiches were, and she told us they were the falafel and the pita.... Which threw us for a loop because we'd come to try the hoagies. We ordered two traditional hoagies and were underwhelmed. They were not very flavorful at all. The bread was pretty good; we both really enjoyed that... soft and tasty. However, the meat had very little flavor at all, as if it had not been seasoned or marinated. We tried salt, pepper, and some of the hot sauce on the table to improve the taste, but it just wasn't there. This place is just not for us.

Corned Beef Sub Homemade Onion Rings Side of ranch Fountain drink

3.5 stars Ordered the corned beef sub with onions rings. Corned beef sub was really mediocre, very bland meat, shredded lettuce. I'm always on the lookout for good corned beef and pastrami, but this isn't it. I couldn't recommend that sandwich to a friend. The onion rings were pretty good, more of a thick batter style and thick cut onions so just depends on what you like. Seems like they're a little overrated. The service, order process, seating area are all excellent. I plan to go back and get the steak which seems to drive most reviews here, but based on this first experience, I'm not blown away yet.

We went to the Brainerd Road location, which is pretty easy to find even in a lot of traffic. They have a decent amount of parking, but the lot was full when we arrived. We drove around the side of the building and were able to park by the rear entrance door. There is easy handicapped access from the main lot, but it would be difficult if you need to park around the rear. Entering from the rear door, you'll need to walk through the dining area to order from the start of the line by the main door. They have a box with menus there, and the menu is also on the wall behind the counter. Specials are written on a small chalkboard by the front of the counter. Ordering was easy, and it took maybe 15 minutes to prepare. In addition to the dining area near the counter, there is another section through a doorway to the side. Seating is probably more than 50, and it was almost full when we were there. They also seemed to do a large take out business. We ordered take out, and everything was stapled into brown paper bags, which were then placed in a cardboard box. It was very secure for the ride home. Happily, nothing soaked through the bags, indicating it was both well packaged and not greasy. The Reuben sub uses good quality corned beef. It was pretty good, but could have used thousand island sauce. The club rider had really nice flavor and everything tasted fresh. It was a bit dry overall and would have benefited from a little more mayonnaise. The polish sausage special was nicely done with an abundance of grilled peppers and onions. The sausage was flavorful. The chicken fingers were also prepared well, with light breading. The meat was moist. The gyro plate provides a good portion of gyro meat with grilled onions and added seasoning along with a good portion of fries and a Greek salad. The meat was a bit dry but very well seasoned. The grilled onions were done perfectly as were the fries. The fries are crinkle cut and meaty. The salad seemed fresh and the Greek dressing added good flavor. The onion rings are a must order. They are home made and offer a good sized portion. The breading is light but sticks to the onion, and everything was cooked perfectly. The falafel had really good flavor and is well prepared. The consistency is a bit dry, but it does not crumble. The outside was a dark brown but was not burnt. That's just the way it comes. We also ordered the pecan queen, which is a pecan baklava. We asked which bag it was in as we planned to eat it before heading home. It had not been packaged, so it was good we asked or it would have been forgotten. Oh, it was excellent. Ankar's does a good job on their sandwiches and has a wide variety of choices. You can certainly find something you'll like.

This little hole in the wall place is AMAZING. Good was fresh and quick . Service was great and the restaurant was very clean . We're new in town and checking out the new places . Must try !!

Small, hole in the wall that sits off the road. If we didn't drive by it a couple of times a week, we probably would've never known about it. After being picked up from the airport around lunch time, we thought it would be a good time to try it out. Driving up to it, we realized quickly it was a hopping lunch spot. There were barely any parking spots remaining but we found one in the corner. Walking in, you could immediately tell it was a family owned and run establishment. Grandma was sitting at the table on the left just watching the lunch crowd. Her daughter was running around and the kids were working behind the register and in the kitchen. You stand in the que line and order at the counter. They give you a number and you wait for your food. We got ours to go. Pretty much all sandwiches/subs come either on a hoagie or pita which is a nice change up. The salads were large and everything looked amazing. I couldn't help but look around the room to check out other's food while waiting. Very fair prices and delicious food. It's always nice to support local restaurants and families. Luckily for us, this place is less than 5 minutes from us so we will be back soon!

Great food especially the steak in a sack or steak sub with provolone cheese. It is the best each time.
