The sign caught my eye of course and I just had to stop in with my son since he loves sandwiches and starving. The location is quite small with only a few barstools if you wanted to sit. It is more of a to go place. We were greeted instantly and it smelled heavenly inside. Baked bread is a favorite smell of mine. The menu has some great options. I opted for the Cactus Jack and my son a roast beef sandwich. There were quite a few orders before us so we sat and waited. They have shirts, snacks and other items available for purchase. Prices were good for the size of the sandwiches. When our food was ready we took it outside and enjoyed some of it in the car before heading home. They also included a few pickle spears. Both sandwiches were delicious. My son said his was in the top three of best he's had. He's picky about that roast beef so that's a compliment. I'll definitely be back.

I cannot lie. I'm disappointed. I've driven by this place so many times and was glad to hear they were renovated and reopened so I could finally try it. The good things are the aesthetic and old school vibe. Also the employee who took our order was very nice. The downsides? It took quite some time for us to wait for our sandwiches, and ultimately they're just ok. The sub bread is sub par, the veggies were a bit sad (comparable to Subway levels), and my bacon is kinda meek and flabby on my Turkey club. I will always support local over chain, and even gladly pay more to do so. I'm hoping this is just new, growing pains that need to be worked out with practice, but for right now, there are so many other sandwich spots in the area I would rather go to. Also, where's the cheese? It's sorta in the sammies, but I expected more cheese items given the name?

Cheese N Stuff is a small, indie deli on Central Avenue in .., you guessed it ... Central Phoenix. Parking is limited and seating is more limited, so if you intend to stop by, plan on a "to go" order. The moment I walked in, the staff was on the ready to take my order. I appreciate small business and patron them when I can. I opted for the Italian Special. For meats, it should have included ham, salami and mortadella, but mine was missing the mortadella. Nonetheless, it was good and I'd order it again. I also requested the Pasta Salad. The portion wasn't especially large, but fine for a side. Sadly, the lid was not secured and the dressing spilled through the paper bag and all over my passenger seat. The Brownie was fine, though slightly dry. I'd like to return to try the Dough Boy. Next time, I'll double check to ensure everything is included and properly sealed.

We'd driven by this place a bunch and finally decided to stop by. We knew very little about it and found out quickly that this is a carryout restaurant. There is one folding table that maybe could sit six in a pinch but when we stopped, it was half full of toys. Luckily for us, there were two spots available. We ordered two combos, the Italian and the Sicilian. Combos come with chips and a can of soda. Both sandwiches were good but realistically, Jimmy John's has more meat. But they cost a couple bucks more too. The people were nice and there were lots of carryouts while we were there. While good, I doubt we'll return. Oh, there's 30 minute parking so don't dawdle.

Heat up with some butter and brown sugar. It's heaven!!

This place was SOOO GOOD! Where else can you pickup Lefse and an amazing sandwich?! This is a small family owned spot with delicious homemade salads, sandwiches and desserts. The ladies running it were so friendly and helpful. There is so many options to choose from. We went with 2 turkey sandwiches, potato salad, pasta salad and a lefse to go. Everything on the sandwich was fresh and top quality. The potato salad and pasta salad were super flavorful as well. We will definitely be stopping in again soon to get our sandwich fix. Thank you!!

My coworkers and I have attempted to come here for lunch multiple over the last few months during posted hours of operations but they are always closed. Any tips on when is a good time to actually catch this place open?

After many years, Stan retired. The new owners are making a few changes and then they will be opened once again with great surprise foods from around the World. Keep an eye on the website. We are still here!!!!

Shea Cheese

I booked a bread + cheese pairing at Shea Cheese for my Mom & I after reading about their events…read moreonline (thanks Reddit). The event was a visit to Proof Bakery to see how the dough is *literally* made before heading back to Shea Cheese for the tasting. It was also BYOB. Overall, we had a great time. The space was cute and intimate, and the tasting was plentiful. They did open up the shop after the event too, so we were able to buy some deli meats and a bottle of natty wine. Their food menu looked soooo yummy, I look forward to coming back for lunch and for another event. Shea Cheese is a small business, owned by a couple who ensured that the experience was awesome. I definitely recommend stopping by and checking out their cookbook collection too. My only critique for the tasting was that they included a pimento cheese, which they make, that has mayo in it. I personally would've preferred they added one of their more unique options instead as neither my mom or I ate that part of the board (mostly due to the mayo).

Wow! I had the Turkey with mustard Gouda and fig jam. It's a flavor and texture explosion that was unmatched. I know that's a lot for a sandwich but it really was. Spicy mustard, combining with sweet fig jam and cold cucumbers with turkey and Gouda cheese. My wife has the apple/bacon/brie melt, it was fantastic as well You order at the cheese shop then head to the suite next door called the Shea Lounge, a kitschy little wifi cafe with free kcup coffee, filtered water, free WiFi and comfy atmosphere. They brought our food over (and they have a byob liquor license) and we'd picked up natural sodas and we enjoyed the place and the food. Highly recommend!!

You can…read moreorder charcuterie boards but they also have a full menu of sandwiches, salads etc. I came in with a group and there was plenty of seating. The ambiance is very cute as well. We all got the lunch special which is a half sandwich with either salad or soup for $13.50. I got the blue cow grilled cheese and tomato soup. What a delicious sandwich! It had roast beef, a jam, pepper relish, havarti and blue cheese. It was really tasty and just the right amount of blue cheese to be tasty and not overwhelming. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal though I will say the person who got the brie, fig jam and prosciutto one was especially happy!

Stopped in today to order a charcuterie board for a wine tasting at my house in a couple of nights…read more I had heard about mingle and graze and sampled a number of their amazing cheeses when I was at wine tastings at Spin The Bottle right around the corner. This is a husband and wife team that manage and own both places. While standing at the counter, deciding what charcuterie board I was going to order I took a quick look at their menu and boy does it look good. Hummus boards, salads, and sandwiches. All freshly made in this little café, which is small but charming there is an outdoor patio with like four tables , but it's far too hot this summer to eat out there. For sure I'll be back in the fall out there with Luna enjoying this wonderful café. I was there with my daughter and what caught her eye was the muffaletta sandwich. A classic I couldn't get past the menu, grilled cheese sandwich, options, and asked the owner what was her favorite and recommendation. She immediately said the grilled cheese with birria and I think a Gouda cheese. We grabbed one of the booths and the sandwiches were out shortly. OMG, they both were unbelievable, but I had trouble keeping my daughter's hand off my plate. Honestly, this is one of the best grilled cheese I've ever had. And I consider myself a grilled cheese aficionado. Mingle & Graze is in a central downtown Chandler location, lots of parking out front. Love these little non-chain cafés with great homemade food that's different and original. I highly recommend you check out this place and when the weather is a bit nicer, order some food and sit out on the patio with a nice bottle of wine curated from Spin The Bottle. What a great spot

I highly recommend trying both, especially if you've never had a Chicago beef. The juicy beef paired with giardiniera is super savory. Damn! I'm craving it again. For lunch on our second visit, we ordered the Chief Beef special and a margherita pizza. This was, by far, the BEST margherita pizza ever! I think I've said that in another review... but for reals this time! The pizza was perfectly crispy on the bottom with just the right amount of basil to top off each bite. For dinner on our third visit, we ordered the clam linguine and an Italian beef sandwich. My husband says this clam linguine was better than the other versions he's eaten at Little Italy. The Italian sandwich was good, but not as savory as the Chicago beef. Can't wait to eat here, again, the next time we visit the Padres during spring training.

I only ended up here because I've been on a bit of a backyard cooking kick lately. We've got a full outdoor kitchen and smoker, and today we're hosting a crowd, so I figured I'd go hunt down a solid brisket. That quick errand turned into something else entirely. Walked in and immediately knew I wasn't in a typical grocery store meat section. The selection is on another level. I went in with tunnel vision for brisket and walked out with a beautiful cut, plus a leg of lamb and a few Wagyu steaks that I absolutely did not plan on buying. No regrets. The quality speaks for itself. Everything looked fresh, well-cut, and handled by people who clearly know what they're doing. Not just tossing meat in a case and calling it a day. There were also some more unique options that caught my eye, the kind of stuff you don't usually see unless you're really looking for it. Definitely gave me a few ideas for future weekends. What really stuck with me though was the staff. Genuinely friendly, easy to talk to, and helpful without hovering. I asked a couple questions and got real answers, not some rehearsed script.
