    TENDERS, FRIES
    Steven F.

    Had a decent, but not phenomenal meal from here. Ordered the Chicken Tenders & Fries, which are supposedly house made. I don't think I've ever seen a singular, family owned shop specializing in Chicken Tenders, so I was intrigued. The Tenders were okay, they needed some more seasoning, but they were definitely crispy. The fries were a bit on the soggy side and were salty. Maybe I'm picky but I don't think the meal was 100% worth the price-- it was filling though.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Cathy S.

    We stopped here on our way to the hotel while on vacation. We were looking for a place to eat, and between Yelp and Google, this is what we chose based on reviews. We walked in, and the lady at the front counter was super friendly. No, she was not the owner. She was a worker who enjoyed serving people. She offered suggestions as to what to order. The seasoning they use for the chicken they also use on their fries. The seasoning is good. The place was clean, and the ambiance was nice. Since they cook everything to order, it took a few minutes for our food. In fact, our food was still hot when we reached our hotel! They did a great job packing everything! Everything tasted good. To our surprise they gave us free fries and wrote a special note on our bag! Wow, great customer service! Thank you!

    Amazing chicken. 10/10. The rotisserie chicken melts in your mouth. We will be back!!

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    David C.

    The reviews were true! This place is amazing! I got the crispy chicken sandwich and fries to go. Nibbled on a couple fries on the drive. Almost whipped it around and went back for a large, soooo good! The Sammy, perfections! Juicy chicken with a, as it says, crispy coating. Not soggy at all. The pickles are amazing on it as well. Location super clean and welcoming. The staff super friendly and happy to tell you about the menu items. Great place, I'll be back!

    Chicken tenders and fries are pretty good. They're made fresh My two year old son liked it

    Fried chickpeas and Mac salad
    John H.

    This was our first visit today, and everything was great! The location is right across from the 7-Eleven on the southwest corner of Manchester and Berry. It's where the old Fox photo was, and I think pie pizza was in there for a bit, it seems like what they have to offer here is the best fit! The owner was running the window, and her husband is the chef, very friendly service, and always makes me happy to see people who generally seem to be enjoying what they are doing. I have the Doritos burrito and added sides of the Mac salad (almost sort of refreshing with the cilantro and not so heavy feeling like some macs) and the fried chickpeas (these are super tasty and incredibly light, a really awesome snack). I got my toddler the kids meal with chicken nuggets, there are three of them so I had one of them and I can say the chicken was outrageously succulent. My wife got the main salad, I am blanking on the name and our friend the chicken wings. I'll have to check in with them for details but all accounts so far they said they really like it! I definitely want to try the rotisserie chicken style next time, today for whatever reason I was craving a burrito, but I could tell from the chicken nugget that the chicken itself seems like a must have. So four people were eating (3 adults and a toddler), and we added a couple of sides just because we wanted to see what they were all about. With tax and service charge which I think is for ordering online plus we left 10% tip (which of course is optional) it was right around $70. that seems a little pricey, but you also have to realize that prices have gone up across-the-board pretty much everywhere. It's also all higher quality stuff so I think the old axiom "you get what you pay for" rings true. Also, the website is really nice and well constructed, I also thought it was cool that when you schedule ahead on an order, they are asking you to be there at that specific time. If done correctly, which it was today, you are in and out super fast. We will definitely return and try to get everything else on the menu

    I meant to post a photo of my chicken bowl I ordered but I was so excited when it came that this is the only photo you get today. But you can see the chicken tenders my son has not yet finished because they are as big as his face.

I really liked the decor and the cool vibe. We ordered the spicy chicken katsu Sando and it was delicious. The meat was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Sando came with the side of fries. We got the togarashi fries and they were so addicting. Fries were not as crispy but very well seasoned and went perfect with the aioli sauce. We also tried the pork katsu rice bowl. I didn't like the sauce as much as the chicken Sando but it was still pretty good. I liked that the rice was well-cooked. You must try their ice cream. I would have come just for it alone. They have a good variety of flavors. My favorite was the miso taro and the yuzu caramel. The staff were very nice to us and the food came out quick. Highly recommend you guys checking this place out.

Clean restrooms and friendly staff, very important to me and this place has both! Owner or manager greeted us upon arrival and asked if we had been in before or needed any suggestions from the menu. I asked about the ice cream choices and considered saving room despite the cold outside...but sadly missed out and didn't get any at the end. Bf got the regular chicken katsu bowl and I went with the pork tonkatsu sando. Similar flavors but just depends on if you like using your hands or working with a fork. Feel like he got the right choice (but you miss out on bread if you go with the bowl) I think our favorite part was the fries, great seasoning and perfectly crisp outside.

It's stacked high and comes with a nice toasted marble rye (I love a marbled rye!).

One Saturday I took my kids to Kirkwood park and decided to stop in at Vitale's on the way home. I'm so glad that I did! The shop isn't anything fancy, there is a counter inside and then a handful of tables outside. It is primarily a to go joint which is pretty standard for delis. It gives off the vibe that you should just stroll up from the neighborhood and grab something to eat, chat for a while with other locals, and then head home. It has a nice, no frills vibe that I really enjoyed. The sandwiches are pretty typical for an Italian Deli with most of them featuring variations of lunchmeat. I'm always a sucker for meatball sandwiches though so that is what I got with a side of chips. It was outstanding. The meatballs were GIANT and they were the right texture. It was large enough that I had to split it across two meals. The owner was really nice when I was inside and talked to both of my kids. My kids were so well behaved they convinced me to buy them a cannoli on the way out the door. Over this shop fills its niche well, the shop was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was good. I'll be stopping back in again in the near future.
