So we paid Mom & Rico's a visit to give them a try last Friday.  Let's talk about…read more..   I must say the place is really nice looking.  Very old school Italian market, with some good finds in there.  They seemed friendly enough, so we decided to give them a try.  Now, once we came to look at the food on the buffet they had displaying, the lady immediately tried to sell us on it.  We weren't sure yet, as what we really wanted was to try one of their grinders.  The woman that helped us was being very insistent that we try the food at the buffet, but this was our first time there (as we mentioned) and wanted to take our time looking at the menu for grinders.  No one else was there so we figured it would be ok to take our time.  However the woman began to become super insistent that we try the food that she even got out a container and got her tongues out and pushed and PUSHED the buffet food on us.  At this point we were getting a little bothered by this, but we figured since we never been here we would give some of those items a try (such as the pasta salad that she claims no one ever made it the way they did).  We explained that we would only wanted samples so that we could try it as we really only wanted grinders.  She said that would be fine, but before I could even choose what items to pick from she immediately starts serving me one of the dishes in heaping portions.  I kept telling her that it was enough, and not too much, but she did not listen to me. Once again, she pushed and she pushed other items after I told her a couple of times that she was serving me already too much.  She finally stopped and packed the food up with the grinders that we ordered.  When we checked out the total bill came up to $54 for two grinders and that box of food we really didn't want to get.    Now let's talk about the food.  The cold cut grinder I ordered was good.  The Sausage and Pepper grinder (a hot grinder) was not even warm but COLD and the cheese wasn't even melted!  The items that we were, lets say, "forced" to get were the broccolini, meatballs, and pasta salad.  But to our surprise we found two large slices of garlic bread in the box that we never asked for, nor even seen her put in it.  Maybe to weigh down the food?  I don't know.  But the broccolini, was overcooked.  Meatballs were cold, and the pasta salad was ok.  It is so disappointing to see that the food that was supposed to be hot was in fact cold.    I honestly feel that we were hustled at this establishment.  Friendly staff but very pushy.  And all of the hot items of food were cold, and hardly think that the price we paid was worth it.

They have a pretty large offering of single meals and meals for 2. We tried the apple and brie stuffed chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes and thought it was very good. For heat and eat meals I think the prices are very solid. I originally thought that perhaps the food was coming from the excess capacity at the log cabin but I believe that all of the meals are made at each location. I'll definitely be back.

They have American and authentic imported Italian meats and they can slice them paper thin if you want. they also make their own in-house salami. Maybe the biggest draw is the subs! Every one I've tried has been better than the last. They are absolutely stuffed with high quality meats and cheeses and they are HUGE! I get the half sub and it is plenty for a meal, sometimes two. I am dying to try the meatball grinder. They use traditional grinder rolls which are a lot of bread, but you need that much bread to hold all the sandwich contents. Sometimes when I eat the second half of my small sub, i will switch the ingredients to a different bread , like ciabatta bread and that great too. I come here whenever i am in town and it is a highlight of my trip. The folks who work there are really nice and accommodating as well. It is definitely a place to make a special trip to try. You won't regret it!

I stopped by Pajers on a Sunday morning around 9am to check them out. A buddy of mine shared some…read morehomemade Italian sausage from Pajers that was delicious, so I made the trip. Cute little shop with a ton of Italian foods of all descriptions. Stood at the deli counter for a little while before one of the three people working behind the counter actually noticed my 6'4" 300 plus pound frame. Even though there was only one other person besides me being helped. I was excited to see that they had homemade salami on the menu so I decided to get a whole grinder. The young lady who was helping me seemed somewhat bothered that she had to wait on me. I ordered my grinder and made a quick change to it BEFORE she started making it and her disappointment was very apparent with her body language. Whatever, it was quite humerus actually. That kind of thing doesn't really bother me. Also picked up some sausage, antipasto salad, etc as well. As far as the grinder goes the homemade salami was delicious and an excellent choice. The grinder roll is massive which is what I think people are so hypnotized with when they mention the Pajers grinders are "huge". Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of meat but its large size is mostly due to the massive roll. Still, it was worth the $18 in my opinion. Cash only, so be aware of that. If you're in the area it's worth stopping by, not too sure I'd drive too far out of the way to stop in there though. Also, be prepared for some potential "spicy" customer service. Perhaps they treat their regular customers better, who knows?

The atmosphere was vibrant and friendly. A bit loud, but encouraging to see how bustling the restaurant was. I enjoyed my grilled caesar salad.

Service was excellent. Our server was very apologetic about how long things were taking, but with a full house it honestly just felt like a good pace without any excessive waiting.
