    Peanut Butter and Jelly Toast
    Audrey I.

    After a day of heavy drinking, I looked to Bunz for a carb-heavy meal that'd soak up the residual alcohol remaining in my system. While it did the job, Bunz is not the best sandwich restaurant by any stretch of the imagination. But, despite being incredibly decent, they're definitely reliable which comes in handy if you're looking for food in a pinch. My order was ready in just under 7 minutes which was 15 minutes faster than what SnackPass initially predicted. I never would've guessed that I'd be the person to pay money for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a meal I learned how to make as soon as I learned how to walk, but my laziness knows no bounds. Today, I ordered a PB and J melt on Texas toast. The sandwich was just okay. The toast was overtly saturated in butter, even taking on a yellow hue throughout. To my surprise, it wasn't that decadent. In fact, it was rather dry with the thick toast overpowering the sandwich's contents. Though this might just be user error, I also didn't like the fact that the sandwich was quite literally stuffed with jelly as the consistency was more jell-o-esque instead of a fruity spread. Perhaps if they used jam, I'd have a better eating experience. Overall, I did get what I paid for and the cost wasn't horribly expensive -- just 7 dollars. Perhaps I'll try one of their milkshakes or burgers next time, but I'll probably stick with Super Duper down the street.

    Turkey and Cheese Sandwich
    Selena L.

    Ordered a Turkey and cheese sandwich here on Snackpass... not good at all. First of all, they took forever to make my food even though there were literally 2 other people there. The sandwich itself would've been fine if it weren't for the fact that it was drenched in cheap tasting American cheese? Like it literally tasted like they squeezed a can of Easy Cheese on it and warmed it up. Ruined the taste of the whole thing and got all over my hands too. At least it was pretty cheap for a fairly large sandwich, I guess.

    My stomach was growling like crazy and I was in the mood for some good ol' fashion American food. I came at around 11:30 pm and it was still busy. The restaurant's space was compact and could not fit any big groups, so the majority of the customers were waiting outside of the restaurant. When I walked in, I was amazed by the decor- a bright yellow background with doodles plastered all over the wall. I ordered the Pastrami Melt and a Banana Cream Dream. It was understandable that I had to wait for 15 minutes because there were so many orders ahead of me, but the real reason why I rated this place a two stars is mainly because of the food and prices. For $8.99, it was basically a thick bread with a thin layer of pastrami. Not only was it very minimal, but they didn't even put any caramelized onions like it stated in the menu. Order this if you only want a mouthful of bread. For the dessert, the Banana Cream Dream was the worst banana cream pie I have ever tasted. The crust is crumbly and was just tasteless. The filling tasted so artificial- like those banana candies you get at the mall. The slice I got was quite small too. Definitely not worth $3.99! Overall, not the best place to spend your money if you want food that's worth emptying your wallet.

    I think this spot is pretty new but I've heard some good reviews about it! I ordered a regular burger and my friends and I split fries and onion rings. The burger was overall pretty solid, just a good classic meal. I thought the fries were great, but the onion rings were definitely the best part. Would definitely come back again!

    Chicken Bacon Ranch
    Saahil S.

    Good quantity, fair priced, meh taste. This is the new place near Jaguar Karaoke on Durant. I ordered fries through UberEats and wasn't too enamored by them mostly because the flavor was all over the place. Stomach wasn't exactly feeling fantastic afterwards either. Definitely appreciated them filling up the box and the solid chicken:fry ratio but something about the quality was off. Probably not going to be my late-night go-to, but decent value meal if you're on a budget and desperate for something different.

    I can't even be mad that they didn't put lettuce and tomatoes my special request on my Philly sandwich because it was still bomb AF!! The Western burger I got was hella good too (see pics).

    Was here on Friday for the first time, as I was in that part of Berkeley for the first time since February and I had never heard of this establishment. I got there just before they opened and I was the only one in there. The menu is huge and I ended up getting the Pastrami fries and a Hot Link Steak (house sauce, cheddar cheese, BBQ beef hot link, steak, grilled onions lettuce and tomatoes). The food was outstanding and I will definitely be back there to try other items very soon.

    Hot Link Steak Philly Sandwich
    Eric J.

    If Top Dog and IB's had a baby, it would be the Bunz hot link philly cheesesteak. If you can't decide whether you want a hot dog or a Philly cheesesteak, Bunz offers boffum. It was pretty tasty at first, but by the second half I was getting pretty tired of the flavor. The hot links are juicy and spicy. Everything was pretty salty which makes you get tired of the flavor quickly. Also, they should change their name to Bunzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, because I almost fell asleep during the 30 min wait after I ordered. Idk why it took so long. There was only one order in front of us and they didn't even start cooking the beef until 15 min later. People in the kitchen were just standing around and sweeping the floors. I honestly thought they forgot our order, but how could they when we were the only ones waiting for our food at this point. The cheesesteak was okay, but it definitely wasn't worth the 30 minute wait. A lot of the food on their menu looks really good so I will be back to try more and hopefully give it a higher rating.

    I don't really enjoy writing negative reviews of restaurants, especially smaller businesses but…read moretoday's visit to Crave really left a bad taste in my mouth. One of my biggest pet peeves is when restaurants reduce the guality or quantity of their meal to cut costs while charging premium prices. I will say I didn't mind paying a few dollars more for their subs in the past. I went there today for the first time in a couple of years, ordered a regular size basic ruben sandwich (no add-ons) and was ok paying nearly $18 dollars for just the sandwich until they handed it to me. what I got was a small 6" sub. When did their subs shrink?? in this economy we are all struggling. I get it, things cost more but Craves' owner is not doing his patrons a service by charging them premiums while cutting back on the meals. If you're ok paying that much for a shrunken sub, more power to you. I l, however, will not be going back there.

The veggie meat was ultra salty and the Beast sandwich had sweet strawberry jam. Did not see that on the menu and didn't correlate the names of the sandwiches to the tv characters my kids watched when they were younger until I opened up the sandwich and saw the red jam. I prefer peanut butter and jam instead of meat and jam. Only veggie was chopped lettuce and barely saw anything else. Overwhelming flavor was the jam which was squeezing out of the sandwich. Disappointed- was hoping for an impressive sandwich at this price point.

We found it very tasty, but paying over $25 for this on DoorDash--certainly not worth the price even though we really enjoyed it. The spicy chicken parm sandwiches were not good. The chicken breast was flabby, and came across like it was one of those frozen cooked Tyson jobs. I would be very surprised if they actually breaded chicken breast, fried it, and made the sandwich with that. It was mushy, and the breading was like paste on the chicken. Pretty awful. They charge extra for sauce, which is a little much, given that we paid $21 for each sandwich. But we figured out pretty quickly why they do this: there was hardly any sauce on the sandwiches. And precious little cheese. We each ate half of our sandwich and figured we doctor the leftovers up the next day with a jar of Rao's and a bag of shredded Italian cheese. That helped, but nothing could save that chicken. The meatballs. We paid $15 for four, and we had high hopes, but they were so mushy that they fell apart in the sauce, and I couldn't tell what was sauce and what was meatballs. The only flavor that came across was fennel. Why any meatball should be so fennel-forward strikes me as bizarre. We got what we thought were pretty basic things, and they were fails. If an Italian place can't make a decent chicken parm sandwich nor a decent meatball, that says something. If you go, try the pinsa.

Awhile back, I tried to bring as much business to Star Meat as I could because 1. it's a small business and 2. it's inside Star Grocery (which I LOVE, so it's convenient). When I would go there, there would often be 2 or 3 people behind the counter and oftentimes I would be the only customer. I felt like I had to stand there forever before anyone even acknowledged I existed. Each person would be busy doing something, but there was no "I'll be with you in 2 minutes." Finally, I went one day and there were 3 workers behind the counter chatting with each other. I was the only customer and was standing around 6 feet away from them, looking right at them. They went on with there conversation (not doing any other work) for a full 5 minutes. Finally I thought, "OK, they really don't seem to want my business, so I can go to any one of 4 other places and get what I want." That was a year or two ago. So, today I thought, why not give it another try, it's certainly convenient. Again, I'm the only customer at the counter. One guy is washing equipment and two guys are making sandwiches. I know that they know that I'm there, there are mirrors all along the back wall exactly for the purpose of seeing the customers. After around 4 minutes I think, who knows how long I'm going to be standing here. Maybe they have to make 20 sandwiches and I'll be here for a half hour. So, I left. I don't have anything like this experience at the 4 other meat counters I go to in the area. I'm totally fine waiting if I have some sense that I'm waiting for a purpose and that the worker will get to me as soon as they can. But at Star Meat, it feels like I'm more of an inconvenience than a customer. "Hi, I'll be with you as soon as I can," goes a long way.

Their hours are convenient, making it easy to stop by throughout the day. The only area where I think there's room for improvement is cleanliness. I've noticed on several occasions that when I arrive shortly after opening--sometimes within 30 minutes to an hour--there are still crumbs on the chairs, tables, and floor, even when there haven't been many customers yet. First impressions matter, and the café should be fully cleaned and ready for guests before the doors open. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down their own tables before sitting. Overall, I really enjoy coming here and would absolutely recommend it for the atmosphere, Wi-Fi, seating, and food options. With a little more attention to cleanliness before opening each day, it would be an even better experience.

They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons.

They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt.

So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb.
