I've heard so much about this place over the years and wanted to finally try it out. I join the EAL…read moreretirement group for a monthly dinner and this place has been on the radar. It was a Tuesday evening around 5p and we sat on the patio. It wasn't busy at all when we arrive but by 630p, it was filling up quickly. It's a bit of a challenge to find since it's BEHIND The Super Chix and Orvis. Your GPS will have you going in circles. It's BEST to turn onto Old Sardis Rd behind Sam's Minimart it will take you right to parking. They have plenty of free parking but get there early because it's likely to fill up quickly at prime time. The patio is nice, partly covered and partly inside. On a nice weather day, you'll get plenty of fresh air and it's not too loud. The service from Cameron was outstanding. He was very attentive and kept everyone's glass filled. I had the Blackened Mahi, it comes with rice and broccoli. It was OK, the veggies were not seasoned well and the Mahi had good flavor, it was a small portion for $38 bucks.

The Common Market on Commonwealth has the most ridiculously delicious vegan chicken salad sandwich…read more It's vegan chicken salad in a spinach flour tortilla wrap. I hesitate in posting this because I don't want everyone to go order it and then it's sold out when I go. I have been known to go up to eight days in a row just to get this sandwich. Unfortunately, the other Common Market locations do not serve this amazing sandwich. You can only get it from the Commonwealth Ave location.

As a…read morebusiness their specialty is made to order charcuterie boards and they boast a large selection of locally sourced cheeses and meats. Inside however they also have a market featuring lots of local products, and a sit down cafe serving up salads and toasted sandwiches. I came in here on a quiet Sunday afternoon and we elected to sit outside in their walled in patio area. It was a pleasant place to sit and our service was prompt and friendly. For my sandwich I chose the turkey chipotle bacon without the tomatoes. The sandwich tasted great and the bread was toasted nicely. If I have one complaint it's that for $14.00 I think the sandwich could have been a bit bigger, or maybe I was just too hungry because I scarfed it down in an instant! Still the chips that accompanied it were a good snack and I enjoyed my meal. This is definitely a good spot to grab a lunch, I wish I had more time and I would have enjoyed the opportunity to browse their market. Matthews has a lot of great locally owned spots and this is for sure one of them.

I ordered the spicy chicken Caesar wrap and appreciated the option of a gluten-free tortilla--it's always nice to see places offering alternatives like that. That said, the wrap itself was a little underwhelming. The portion felt smaller compared to similar wraps I've had elsewhere, and the filling was inconsistent. About half of it barely had any chicken, while the other half had a decent amount. I really enjoyed the pasta salad and I liked the added touch of arugula--it gave it a fresh, slightly peppery twist that stood out.

The service is consistently good, and the food comes out quick. I also love that you can order a half portion of fries instead of a full order--small detail, but it makes a difference. Their menu has a little bit of everything, but the burgers are definitely the star. They also run daily specials (I tried the cordon bleu sandwich on a special day, and it was really good). They have outdoor seating, which is a nice bonus, especially on a good weather day. Overall, it's a solid 10/10. If you're looking for a great burger--or just good food, period--Rusty's is absolutely worth checking out.

Experience: This is a no frills, step back in time deli that has a strong 80's vibe. I don't know that it has been updated since the 80's, it feels old. The sandwiches are classic, fresh, and good. It gets busy during lunch, I think they've retained all the customers since the 80's. I love their tuna steak sandwich because it's fresh and not too salty. It is best with a sauce added, since it's a bit dry without one. The bun tastes healthy in the best way. The burger is also classic and hearty. I'd highly recommend Rusty's if you're in the area and looking for a solid sandwich for lunch.

While it looks quiet from the outside, inside you will find a lot of hustle and bustle as hungry patrons line up to get their breakfast sandwiches, or their lunch depending on the time of day! The place is part neighborhood market, selling beer and wine along with snacks, and part deli serving made to order sandwiches, and salads, along with prepackaged sides and fixings like chicken or egg salad. I finally got a chance to come in around lunch time and was very exciting to dive into my turkey sandwich which came with bacon pepper Jack and a chipotle spread. It was delicious, just a perfect sandwich for lunch. Nothing fancy or over the top, and it was priced very reasonably which is hard to find these days. This place is a gem.

We all know traffic on Park Road is life risking on the daily but here easy breezy. So next time you can't think of what to cook for dinner swing by and see what calls to your belly.

From the moment we walk in, we feel genuinely welcomed, loved, and treated like family, which makes the experience even more special. The pasta is to die for. Some of our favorites are the garlic and rosemary noodles, the pesto, and the Alfredo sauce with chicken. Every bite is amazing. We often take items home to make later, and it somehow still tastes just as incredible. I truly cannot say enough good things about this place. In the summer, they even have live music, making it a fun date night spot or a great place to bring kids for a delicious meal and great company. Highly recommend!
