My wife got the Italian which is her staple lunch selection. She really enjoyed her sandwich and a 1/2 was plenty for her. Portion-wise, it was perfect for me. I'm not someone who needs huge servings, and the sandwich was just the right size--honestly, it worked well as a half sandwich for lunch across two days. For a couple bucks more, you can get extra meat Which we did not do. Great quality, flexible options, and a practical portion size. I'll definitely be back.

But my goodness, this might be one of the most unsanitary restaurants that I have been to. I often stop here to try and get some work done while I make the trek from Chicago to Central IL, but I'm having second thoughts about re-visiting. Let's get some of the tame stuff out of the way. The food here, average and over priced. Last visit I had their half sandwich and soup. The sandwich that I ordered honestly wasn't too bad, it had chicken and avocado and some peppers inside. It was warm and the flavors balanced well. My soup was the French onion soup, which was bland and lukewarm. It came with a side of bread which was cold and hard, so eating it was no easy feat, even while dipping it in the soup. The biggest price catastrophe went to the mango smoothie. Sure, the smoothie was decent, but $7 for half of what a Smoothie King offers is painful. The horrors of this Panera were in the bathroom. I went to wash my hands when I arrived, and there was a ring of mold growing on the handles of the sink. It wasn't just a small ring, it was growing upwards, meaning that it hadn't been addressed for quite some time. It was quite honestly as bad as I had ever seen it. I always say that a restaurant's bathroom is a big indicator to the general practice of the everything else, and I shutter to think what else goes on behind the scenes. I even had to use the bathroom at the end of my meal and just left instead of using that bathroom again. Visitors beware!

No trouble getting a table but the bar area was pretty full. Our server was fast and professional. She nailed everyone's drink and food orders with no issues. Food came out fast and hot as well. Tough to do with 10 people at a table. I ordered the Honey Glazed chicken. It was pretty good but the chicken had a few chewy spots. Flavor was great though. The glaze was sweet but not overpowering. 2nd night I ordered the Parmesan chicken. That chicken was great but o didn't care for the pasta it was served on. Flavor was good but just not my thing. Service was great both nights. Pricing is fair as well. Recommend if you're in the area and looking for something different than your typical nationwide chain.

Very disappointing experience at this establishment. It's been a few years since we've visited…read moreBrickstone and this time, we were not impressed. Service was slow -- to non existent -- at best. We ordered two saganashkees that were bland, with little to no crust. The server said he has never served two at once before, so I guess we loose. I ordered the Poke. It too was bland and some of the tuna was hard!! Yes, hard!! The serving included a dollop of guacamole that had no business on the plate, in my opinion. Chunks of avocado, that I thought I was getting, fine, but not a traditional guacamole. Not good. Three of the four persons at our table ordered burgers and were all equally disappointing. It seemed like the burgers were diced up like it we to get used like in chili. But then, there tried to make a hamburger out of it!! Really weird. The taste was good, but unmanageable as a hamburger. One of the persons at our table ordered a shrimp appetizer. He said it was "ok". This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and is quite comfortable and the beer is okay. But, that's all it has going for it. Our previous visit a few years ago was much more enjoyable. We see no reason to return.

Somehow, Someway, they make simple items like scrambled eggs and (buttery) hash browns taste better than the other guys. For the hungry man, I recommend the butcher's omelet or the meat lover's skillet. Deservedly so, this joint is usually busy, but the tableside atmosphere is relaxed. Food is delivered promptly, and your coffee cup will be refilled. The service is outstanding and competent. One reason is that many employees have worked there for over 10 years, and many for over 15. I am now a regular and visit once or twice a week. P.S. Their homemade potato chips are cooked per order and delivered warm to your table!

The service was very kind and prompt, and it was clear that the staff cared about our whole experience. Came here while visiting my sister, and she claimed this is their favorite local spot for both breakfast AND lunch/dinner! It certainly did not disappoint. They had about 5 specialty coffee drinks on the menu (all holiday themed). We got two (one peppermint and one gingerbread), and they were presented beautifully. For food we got a few breakfast sandwiches, European pancakes, a banana peanut butter toast, and some sides of bacon. All of it was VERY good and nearly all of it (including their bread) was scratch made. My favorite item was their croissant sandwich... if the croissants were homemade this place would easily have been a 5. All accounted for, I cannot wait to return for dinner. Thank you!

Entrees came with a really good salad and some type of bread nuggets that were really good. Both were so good there wasn't much room left for the main courses. Magarita pizza was great and the parpadelle pasta were enormous in quantity. Three meals here. Overall, a nice place with big portions. Pricing is on par with that. **3% surcharge fee** Always take a star off for that and will not be back. At $28 for a bowl of pasta I think $.84 is a little ridiculous for how I pay for it...

We were headed home from a trip to Wheaton this afternoon and decided to try Tucci's…read more Our experience was mixed. We had the misfortune of dining here on a Monday night, when they have a Pasta Bar. The logistics around it were horrible. It was located in the middle of a corridor that we had to pass through to get to our table. There had to be at least a dozen people standing two abreast in a corridor intended for one person. We tried their calamari appetizer and were quite disappointed. They definitely did not use calamari steak, which is tender and succulent. Rather, they use calamari at the low end, and it was correspondingly tough and chewy. They offer a choice of unlimited salad or soup. Our server completely forgot to bring ours until after our main courses arrived. Had we not inquired about it, I suspect it would have been missed completely. As it turned out, the salad was mediocre at best, which is surprising considering it was supposed to be fresh. Not so sure about their supplier. The olive oil and herb mixture they served with their rolls was much more fresh than their salad, bitter implying a positive situation (fresh phenols) when it comes to Extra Virgin or Virgin oils. We ordered their Carbonara with Angel Hair pasta instead of spaghetti and fortunately, it was some of the best I have had in probably 30 years. The main course made up for the appetizer, though. Still, the overall experience was subpar. They did have very handsome bussers, so there was that!
