Each piece came individually wrapped is butcher paper and labled. The order came with a container of delicious pickle spears, a ton of them, and a variety of mayo and dressing packets.

My most recent sandwich was the Roast beef and Vermont cheddar sub with tomatoes and lettuce, oil and vinegar. This was a 5/5! The roast beef was extremely good, tender and flavored well. The portion of meat and cheddar was perfect! The hoagie bun held up well. Would be a nice spot for lunch when the weather is good as it has outside seating.

We were surprised to find that the place was…read moreempty with all of the shoppers walking around outside, but we were not disappointed with our lunch. We each ordered a junior cheesesteak - which is plenty big for an adult in my opinion. I added a bunch of toppings, and my wife went kind of plain jane with just green peppers and cheese. Both were served quickly and (very) hot on a tasty roll. My one negative comment is that the sandwich was a little greasy and messy, but that's like complaining that your beer is too cold. Anyway, the place was reasonably clean, the guys working the counter were nice, and we enjoyed our meal. I'll be back again.

Hot roast beef, bread, and fries smothered in gravy. Its to die for! Husband loves the Wings, i think he has tried them all! Try the Steak Salad too, or the Steak n fry.

The menu listed mostly BBQ meats, sandwiches, tacos, salads, and sides. Furthermore, deli meats, cheeses, pastas, sauces, condiments, and other foods were available for purchase. A dining room contained clean tables and chairs. We ordered the Boss Hog, a $50 platter that included my choice of five meats and my choice of three sides plus cornbread. We chose the brisket (4.5 stars), smoked ribs (4.5 stars), pulled pork (5 stars), smoked chicken (4.5 stars), and jalapeno-cheddar sausage (5 stars). The other meat was burnt ends, and we could have added it for an extra $6. Sauces included a dark, sweet "Pappy" sauce and an orange, mustardy "Mimi" sauce, both of which I liked. For sides we chose the mac n cheese (4, cheese could be thicker), smoked BBQ beans (tangy, 5 stars), cheesy bacon hash browns (4.5 stars), and cornbread (5 stars). The other side was coleslaw, and we could have added it for an extra $5. In addition, we ordered a half-length Cheesesteak sandwich for $8. It contained steak, peppers, onions, and our choice of cheese of American. The steak was thick rather than my husband's preferred thinly sliced steak, but the ingredients tasted very good.
