I ordered a Batman and robin with a side of sujuk . what can I say, to put it simply it was the best toastie of my life!! It was served with a side of pickle onion which I took a bite of first just to line the stomach soon after I took a bite of sujuk sausage which I have never tried before and addicted too now, this is when I knew I was in for something special. The Batman and Robin wagu beef crispy beef strip which looked like bacon then topped with their famous cheese blend . Mouth watering just thinking about it now! I know were I'm going on Monday! well done guys keep up the great work.. one happy customer!!

Underwhelming. Went through the drive-thru this morning and it was awesome to see the guy who took…read moreour order running everything through on an iPad. Ordered two lattes, the Batman & Robin, the Lenny & Carl, a side of poutine fries and some pickles. We were the only ones waiting at the time, and everything was made to order which was good to see. However, the coffee beans weren't fresh and both coffees - one soy, one regular - were bland and luke warm, sort of tasting like warmed up milk. The sandwiches were much smaller than expected, based on photos from the Cheese and Bread social media pages. The Lenny & Carl was flavourless. It contains the "house cheese blend", bechamel and macaroni and cheese - however if you had told me it was just a singular cheese type in there, I wouldn't have been surprised. I guess I was expecting the usual American-cheesy flavour you'd get from macaroni and cheese, combined with a creamy bechamel. The Batman & Robin was slightly better, however - as my partner pointed out to me - the names of the sandwiches at Cheese and Bread follow a pattern of 'two things that go awesomely together', and the beef patty and beef slice were just okay, not awesome. The poutine fries were also lacking in flavour. The fries weren't salted, and there was barely any gravy or cheese. A good poutine should be smothered in gravy with cheese all through the fries, whereas this was maybe a small ladle of gravy with a sprinkle of packet tasty cheese on top. The person who served us was really friendly, and I suppose it was cool being able to have someone come take your order from you car and then make it on the spot, but the quality and flavour just wasn't there - and for $10 a sandwich, next time I feel the urge for a cheesy toasty, I'll use the money to go and buy more flavoursome ingredients and make it myself at home.

The fries (more like potato wedges) are the best I've had anywhere. Lots of panino options and some unusual Italian beers to try too. P.S. Celeste makes a mean coffee!

Actually,…read morethey do more than just sandwiches, and since I can make sandwiches at home, it is something that I'm not too keen on having when I'm out. However, they have a lot more than just sandwiches, because they have hot food as well, including potatoes, which they cut up and add salad too it. Yeah, that wasn't too bad actually. Basically it is a food court stall, and they certainly aren't too bad.

You know…read moreyou're in for something different when the sign out the front doesn't have the restaurant name but rather just "X". As in, X marks the spot, as in you've made it and you've found us. It's an unusual and clever touch. I thought the Uber driver has been misled by the technology and taken us to the wrong place. Instead, we were right there and ready to go. The X cleverness symbolises the whole restaurant in a way. This is a very well run business. The hordes arriving at the door in spite of the torrential Saturday night Melbourne mail outside said it all. This is a seriously popular place. Everything operates in harmony here. We enjoyed every dish. We selected the feed me option. It's a great option. There's ample food and every dish is great. We couldn't finish it all. That was partially due to me insisting that we also have the meat doughnuts. I'd read so much about them that I just had to taste them and indeed they were fantastic. But, truth is the dish put us in overreach territory. I doubt I could fault any dish here. They were all wonderful. The food just keeps coming with the feed me option and it's very good. Pulled pork, sliders, pickles, salads and slaw, brisket, chips, ribs and the famous Kentucky fried cauliflower. It's awesome stuff. A succession of really tasty, good looking and nicely composed dishes. If I could fault anything, and this is a really picky one, it's that the food almost came out too quickly. It seemed like about two minutes after ordering that dishes kept coming out continuously at a rapid rate of knots. Just a few more minutes between dishes would have been useful. I mentioned this was a very well run business. The staff attest to that. Each of the servers we encountered was lovely and very efficient. They were very very good at their jobs especially our favourite server from Estonia. The kitchen staff are obviously exceptional here too. As mentioned, great food came out continuously in the blink of an eye. Those cooks out there are exceptional. Gosh the northern suburbs have grown up. The range of food out this way is amazing now. The traditionally harshest critic at our table wanted to give Dexter a 5. He said he'd been to a lot of "these BBQ places", as he called them, and that this one was easily the best. High praise from a tough man. The other guests felt similarly but in the end the group settled on a comfortable 4.5. Dexter is an ace place that you cannot and should not miss. I will return to try the dishes I missed this time around.

The seating area gets a delightful dose of sunshine in the mornings, and the plants growing above you add a nice touch.

The felafel are made fresh to order and you can have three of these plump, hot, gently spiced babies stuffed in a pita bread with a combination of vegetarian items. There's six options to choose from, but why you'd get anything other than the "Half Moon" with chilli sauce I don't know. Think crispy felafels, salad, olives, pickles, hummus... wrapped in a warm pita and weighing almost the size of a small child. This whole thing will set you back a mere $8. Other than the fact that the food here is delicious and cheap, the owners and staff are really what make this a worthy experience worth crossing town for. Run by a family for the last 12 years, they're super lovely and really care about their customers. The "father" is so kind and will make a point of walking around the tables outside to check that his customers are happy, that they have enough napkins and that they're looked after. I love chatting to him and if I time my lunch break right I might be able to sit with him while he has his lunch break in the late afternoon. Customer service doesn't cost anything, yet there's not many places that get it right or enjoy it as this family does. 5 stars.

It's…read morea cosy little café located in the Snell Grove precinct, just a minute's walk away from the train station. There's seating inside if you want to stop in for a treat, but I prefer to grab my specialties to devour at home. I'm a big fan of home made pies but usually I'm left disappointed by the quality of the meat or other ingredients used. Not so with Sweet Nektar. Their beef burgundy pies are the best I've ever tasted and the different lamb varieties should be award winning they are just that delicious. The thing I love is that everything is made on site on the day, so you can't always be sure your favourite will be available when you go there. It's so not a bad thing here though because it just frees you up to find something just as scrumptious and loveable. The made to order rolls and sandwiches are delish as well, even my daughter who is addicted to hot chips loves coming with me to order her own special sandwich. While your there you have to spoil yourself with one of the handmade sweets, from cookies to slices and cakes you'll want to take the lot, but do yourself a favour and at least try the hedgehog! I'm also big on service and the people here are lovely, and because they always take the time to talk with my children and tell me how cute they are they win extra points with me!
