Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too. Wood paneling, and a bunch of local reviews all over the walls. Clean, normal sound. Simple, with excellent customer service, and a huge menu that will have something that you like. Packed the midweek afternoon we visited, and we did not wait for a table. Loved my bowl of Matzo Soup, superb broth and the Matzo was delicious. Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.

The line for baked goods was also busy but moved quick and wow - I regret not getting any of the baked goods. They looked phenomenal. I had the Leonard Da Vinci which was outstanding. The gardiniera was the perfect level of spice and the sandwich was jam packed with salami and turkey. The Cole slaw was also delicious. The vibe inside is very Eastern European deli authentic which is so fun. They had tons of to go items for sale as well and a huge grab and go beverage selection. The seating area was spacious and packed on a warm spring day.

The biscuits and pie are always very good. Mini pies and by the slice satisfy the sweet and savory fixes for the week. This past weekend, I tried a new lox biscuit that had recently been added. It was delicious! Coastal Seafoods in a few doors down. I don't know if that's where they source salmon. It was silky and tasty. What really impresses me are the eggs. They are perfect! Sunnyside up with a crown of egg white cradling a perfectly runny yolk. These are so consistent. Staff are very friendly. You order at the counter and they serve you at the table. My neighborhood is a few blocks east. But Snelling and Selby Avenues are St Paul's own little Eat Street. The news that Groundswell in the Midway neighborhood was very sad. If you are looking for a similar level of deliciousness, head down to Hot Hands.

The staff was friendly and welcoming in spite of the waiting crowd. We took advantage of the Bogo and enjoyed the banana cream and lemon meringue pies. The banana cream was yummy with fresh bananas and whipped cream. The lemon meringue was tangy and delicious. The CRUST on both was sooooo good. Real crust that stood up to the wonderful abundant fillings. The ham and cheese popovers were delicious and flavorful the next day. We'll be back for the key lime experience!

Both were unimpressive in flavor and yet these were nine dollar sandwiches. I'm not a snob about fast food, that's why I take a crack at Hardee's once in a while, but you can eat cheaper and better in this neighborhood. I will say that I very much noticed the friendliness and professionalism of the people behind the counter. The people working at this Hardee's would not be out of place in a more high quality establishment.

Mistake, or just one of those situations where they judge the strips to be a little short so they compensate with an extra. Whatever, I found them nicely flavored and ever so slightly overdone. Really only a touch, and you gotta admit that's better than the opposite problem. It came with plenty of dipping sauce, chosen out of a wide spice range. I got medium ("Coop") and liked it very much, I would get that exact one again unless I wanted to try other ones which seems like it might be a good idea. Also it came with a side of mac & cheese (substituted from fries) and that was very good. I will DEFINITELY get that again. This is a nice, quick, easy chicken option.

I would probably always get it to go after being in the space. The staff were nice, and the food was ready when promised. All three eaters gave the food a C or C+ rating. The fries were the best part, very good - even after being in a to go container. Had we reinvigorated them in the air fryer they would have been even better. Chicken was good, but not great. Spice level was accurate. Cole slaw was warm, which is not a temperature cole slaw should be. The sauce that comes with is not my thing, and the 16 year old said it was a copy or Raising Canes sauce. Overall not a bad experience by any means, we just won't be hurrying back.

One of the best things about MyBurger is how honest the menu feels. Good deals, decent portions, and none of the nickel-and-diming that has become standard everywhere else.

The service was fast and every staff member was nice! If you want an affordable burger that tastes better than fast food, give it a shot!!

The kitchen is only open for breakfast and lunch service M-F, but if you stop by outside of those hours you can still grab stuff from the cold case! The pita chips ($3.99) are always a must for me, and I usually pair with the labneh ($4.99), a Lebanese yogurt chese, which is AMAZING but they were out today--but Ed was kind enough to give us a complimentary tub of the baba ganoush ($5.29) to try which was delicious!! My go-to here is always the chicken + garlic sandwich ($10). I've tried the bowl, I've tried the falafel, but that sandwich is just TOO good. Comes with lettuce, pickles, and fries on it, with the option to add jalapeños--and I always do! You can add a side of fries to any entree for $1.50 which is a steal--items all made to order, so the sandwich comes out fresh and the fries are hot and crispy every time! The food is best when it's fresh out of the kitchen; so it was really cool to see today that they've added a couple of tables--two small standing hi-tops in the store, and a couple of picnic tables outside. It may be unassuming from the outside, but don't be fooled--Ed's packs an absolute punch of flavor and is one of my favorite spots in the metro.

Now pretty much all Taco Bell's tastes the same with few exceptions. S this review is not about the food it's a comparison. Over the past two months I have visited 4 Taco Bell stores in the Twin Cities. And I went 3 tomes a week to each store and I refrained from ordering on the app to see the overall all service I received from each place while ordering in the drive-thru. This particular location has the worst service imo. Each time I ordered here (different times of the day) it took forever to get my food. Not only that but 50% of the time the food was wrong. From the wrong sauce packets to the wrong food item. Btw, twice the whole order was wrong. The employees are super nice, but something is not quite right. So imo if you go to this location you might not get what you want. Now you can have them correct it I'm sure (I did not) but that takes time. Now you need to get out of your vehicle go in the store and correct the order. Now tbf it is the busiest Taco Bell too. Wait times during lunch are astronomical. The one positive thing again is the employees. They are super nice.
