    Italian Beef!
    Adam R.

    The service was fast, friendly and brusque. Very Chicago. I got the Italian Beef hot and now my nose is running. I don't know Chicago food particularly well. It's possible that this is the absolute authentic Italian Beef, but I found it a little blander than I expected. It was good, for sure, but just not 5 stars. The prices are fine, $14 for the sandwich, fries, and a water. I think I'll come back again to try a Polish dog.

    Cod fish sandwich and garlic fries

    As this was my very first sit down at this eatery I was highly disappointed at the food. The biggest highlight was my side salad and my frozen caramel apple cider drink. My cod fish sandwich was simply a frozen patty from out of a plastic bag and not real fish and the replacement chicken sandwich was fried in the same oil as the fish so I was getting a fishy taste along with it. I politely took my chicken sandwich to go after having my husband take two bites of the sandwich. The garlic fries were not as anticipated either. They came out piping hot with just the perfect amount of salt. However,the whole lot of fries were covered in raw minced garlic and sprinkled with parsley. The raw garlic made the fries inedible for me.

    Such a great first time experience. Greeted as soon as we came in the door and told where to find menus and order. We got the chili dog lunch with Cajun fries, came with 2 hotdogs which we was a nice surprise. Also ordered a Chicago dog meal with garlic fries. So good. Kids cheeseburger meal was good and the kids chicken meal was nice pieces of chicken, not pressed chicken. And the pineapple Agua Fresca was superb!!!

    Bacon egg cheese breakfast sandwich

    Excellent. I'm only taking a star away because I just don't care for the chicken noodle soup. I have ordered to go and for delivery. How bout no delivery fee, no extra service charge fees?. I'm sure it won't last but it is refreshing in the days of doordash and grubhub fees Staff is friendly and provide good service. I usually get the breakfast sandwich with apple wood bacon(Real bacon!!) With a hash brown and some kind of donut. All fresh and so much better than fast food. The lunch offerings are primarily sandwiches and soups. Burgers, chicken salad etc. At least 5 different soups daily. All yummy except the chicken noodle just doesn't do it for me. Not enough noodles for me. They actually specialize in chicago style dogs. Not my thing but my man says they are really good. Somehow my food delivery arrives hot and fresh even though I live across town. Keep up the good work

    If you are looking for an authentic Italian beef look no further, great service, prices, and food. The Cobb salad was so big, flavourful, and so many toppings. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Toledo area

After looking at different caterers, we chose Pizza Replicator to cater the party of 85. We were having trouble working with the venue to allow the caterer to find a place to cook the pizzas. Max contacted the venue and worked out all the details. On the day of the event, he and his staff arrived promptly and started with the appetizers which were outstanding. Once he transitioned to pizza, the pizzas were continuously replaced until everyone had eaten. Everyone raved about the food. We couldn't be happier about hiring Max and his team and couldn't recommend him enough.

In New York, slices are for folding and eating while on the go, because... well... I guess that's what capitalism does to you. Pizza Replicator is replicating none of these pizzas. Nope. It's just a Star Trek TNG inspired pizza concept where Max Sussman gets to have a little bit of fun with seasonal ingredients, dough, and some portable pizza ovens. Personally, I love to support pizza innovation. Max's pizza is about as good as it can be considering it's cooked up in the back of a coffee shop on any given Sunday. More than anything, I want Max to get a permanent home here in A2 with a legit Neapolitan oven where he can really get some better color on the bottoms of those pies. I've had a few of these so far. Italian sausage with pepperoncini, provolone, and broccoli rabe. Brussels and guanciale with aged gouda, fresh mozzarella, and garlic. Soujouk and Za'atar with onion and green zhug. Asparagus and gruyere with meyer lemon, caramelized onion, and pine nuts. Spanish Chorizo, manchego, roasted peppers. My favorite one to date was the meyer lemon. Dang, that was deliciously unexpected! But those crispy nuggets of guanciale were dynamite too! Ultimately, these are designed to be take out pies, and I'm just not a take out pizza kinda guy. Because I believe pizza is best when it's fresh hot now, I grab my pie, b-line to my parked car, and eat the pizza in the driver's seat like a savage beast. Even when I have shown up early for my scheduled pizza pick up, I have had little luck in getting super hot pies with crisp edges and well colored bottoms. Recently I learned that one can request the pizza "well done" and I am looking forward to giving that a try. But I love the culinary creativity and I am happy to keep trying Max's new pies when my Sunday schedule lines up with available pizza slots. One has to keep an eye on the Pizza Replicator Instagram page and move quickly, because these things sell out. I have gotten over my FOMO, and am happy to simply sample these pizzas when the stars align. Which, you know, is why I'm comfortable to share this with the Yelp Community. Max's efforts are hardly a secret as they were just recently covered in the food press. But yet there is no listing on Yelp?

All of the food was amazing, but hands down the table favorite was honestly the whipped feta. It's what dreams are made of! It had a slightly spicy oil topper, and delicious crostini! The only note I would give, is that the bacon appetizer really needs to come with a steak knife for sharing. It was a little too hard to cut with just the butter knife. Steaks and sides are all prepared perfectly, the button mushrooms were a hit as well. I would completely recommend this restaurant to anyone, and will return again if I'm back in the area.

We arrived 45 minutes before closing, and the host asked if we'd like to sit in the bar where they offer the full menu. Saying yes was fine until the last 15 minutes. A better choice would have been to sit in the dining room. We started off with drinks, V ordered a Mai Tai, and I had a Tequila something or other. The drinks tasted good, if I were a betting person, I'd say that they touched the ice with alcohol, and that's about it. I don't drink very often, so I always know if a drink contains a meaningful amount of alcohol. They brought out a warmed puff bread. It was unique for sure, and tasted good too. Our appatiser was Lobster Tail served on a bed of vinegar-based coleslaw with miso or something similar. The flavors worked together fabulously. V's entree was a beef stir fry. He said it was ok, but nothing special. He also ordered the Smoked Gouda & Rosemary Mac & Cheese with bacon. That side dish was very tasty, but overpowered my entree, though it paired well with his beef. I had the Miso Halibut, which came over with Sweet Chili Bok Choy and Jasmine Rice. This entree had perfectly paired flavors; I'd certainly like to have it again. Our waitress was friendly and attentive; we couldn't ask for better service. Sitting in the bar wasn't a good idea as in the last 15 minutes a loud-mouthed womanizing man started sharing his conquests with six other people.

After a long wait, I finally received a response on October 29 apologizing for the delay and confirming my date was available. They asked me to schedule a call through their portal to discuss details, which I did for November 4. Unfortunately, they did not show up for the call. They eventually connected with me later that day, and I sent inspiration photos to help with planning. After that, I heard nothing until January 16, 2026, when Katie messaged me asking if I had seen her proposal. She apologized for the lack of follow-up and said she would resend it if needed. I informed her that I had not received the proposal in my spam or portal, and she promised to resend it the next day. However, by January 17, I still had not received anything. I followed up again on March 1, 2026, hoping for some progress. Despite the ongoing communication issues, I was drawn to their work because of the beautiful photos and event space they showcased on Instagram. I really wanted to use their services. On March 2, I finally received a response from Stephen, who explained Katie was attending a conference but assured me I would get the proposal within a few days, no later than the end of that week. Now, 20 days later, I have received no proposal and no further follow-up. I am left with no choice but to look elsewhere. If I could give zero stars, I would. I cannot comment on their food or event space because I was never able to utilize their services. I want to support local small businesses, but this experience has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating.
