I have fond memories of eating veal sandwiches. My dad use to get these long veal sandwiches from a…read morefood truck that would stop by his workplace years ago. He brought one home and I devoured it. The bun was soft, the veal was breaded and tender, the marinara sauce was fresh, and it had onions, peppers, and mushrooms that made it the best sandwich. He bought them for me late in my high school and all through my undergraduate years. I moved away. He retired. Veal sandwiches died. Coming back to the GTA, the best veal sandwich I have had is from California Sandwiches. This location is the closest one to my workplace. On Saturday, I had to go into the office and stopped by this location to grab a bite before getting down to work. This location is on Dixie, just north of the 401. You expect tired, hungry truckers around this area on a Saturday. Then, you have folks like me. I wanted a veal sandwich and was hungry. Parking in front of the eatery is limited. I got a spot out of the possible five available. There is also a back entrance where there is more parking. I walked in. There was a woman ahead of me ordering three sandwiches. I already knew what I wanted. This California Sandwiches looks dated from the outside, but is pretty decent inside. I finally got to place my order for a veal sandwich with mushrooms. Technology-wise, the woman took my order down on small pieces of paper. The only modern thing seemed to be the debit machine. Judging by the sign where it said it accepted cash, scribbled in pen underneath was debit. I was armed with both and paid with cash. Everyone there seemed to be Italian. I liked the homey vibe. She asked if I wanted anything else. I got a bottled diet Dr. Pepper. I found out later on that there was San Pellegrino. Oh, well. I'll get that next time. This California Sandwiches is a bit different. You can buy bottles of marinara sauce to take home. Fish and chips are on the menu. If you can fit poutine in your tummy with your sandwich, it's available. Finally, if you feel like pasta, you can get some here. I loved all the choices. It took a bit of time to get my order. There were three orders ahead of mine. Finally, my sandwich was ready. The woman who prepared asked whether I was dining in. I was. No tray. Just the sandwich wrapped in paper was handed to me. I loved all of it! The woman called me sweetie when she handed me my sandwich. It was endearing. I happily sat down and looked forward to chowing down. Why do I love California Sandwiches? The veal is larger than the bun. I opened my sandwich up and felt so happy looking at such beauty. It came with lots of napkins. You need all of them! I took my first bite. I was in heaven. The veal was tender. The breading was perfect. It was light and yummy. I loved the marinara sauce with little chunks of onion. Finally, all those sliced mushrooms got my seal of approval. The yummy bun held everything together. Some have complained that it's expensive to get a sandwich here. With taxes, my sandwich with mushrooms and a bottled drink came up to $14.50. Considering that my sandwich was huge, packed with goodness, and I didn't eat anything until dinner, it's all worth it to me. It does get messy eating this sandwich. After I was done, I washed my hands in the women's washroom. It has two stalls. It was clean. It's dated, but everything works. I'd come back here again for another yummy veal sandwich. It's good reliving good memories while creating new ones. (169)

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. Our server checked in at the right times, kept drinks topped up, and made sure everything came out just the way we ordered it. I ordered a steak and it was cooked exactly to my preference, with a great sear on the outside and tender, juicy meat inside. You can really taste the quality of the beef and seasoning, and it arrived hot and full of flavor. For the price, the portion size and quality are excellent, and it honestly felt like a much more expensive steakhouse experience without the high price tag. The sides were fresh and tasty, and there were lots of options on the menu for different tastes, but the steak is the star of the show. Overall, the value is hard to beat. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Chuck's Roadhouse to anyone looking for a great steak dinner at a great price.

I love subs, this place does it right…read more I am fine with all levels of subs but when I want a quality sub I come here. Solid menu variety, but the meat is the crown jewel here and the oil/red wine vinegar sauce they use makes the meat shine instead of overpowering it like other sub chain sauces. The sub feels fresh, from the bread to the cheese, and they don't skimp on the sauce. Great Heartland location close to lots of retail and other food shops. Ample parking and easy to spot. There's a good handful of tables inside for individual or pair seating, and service is pretty quick. I pre-ordered on a busy day and only needed to wait 10 to 15 minutes on a weekend evening. They do minor promos through their own loyalty program , but I find they offer better discounts on Uber/skip/etc.

Definitely 8.5/10 for higher quality food and service however the Giant sub was around $23 after tax so it isn't cheap. Glad I gave it a chance and will definitely come back soon.

Tips: - The porchetta sandwich is divine!…read more- Biggies is beside Pizza Pizza and a few doors down from Kung Fu Tea. A recent Yelp elite experience put Biggies Gourmet Foods on my radar. For years, I have visited this plaza that has Biggies, but never noticed it until now. Biggies used to be called Porchetta Roll. I dropped by after work on a Wednesday. It was roughly 2:30 pm. This eatery is roughly a ten-minute drive from my workplace. It's in a plaza that I visit regularly. It has Cora, Kung Fu Tea, and Lezzet Shawarma that I like. It's easier to look for Pizza Pizza. Next to the orange sign is Biggies. I found an available parking spot fairly close to Biggies. I backed into the spot and walked over to the eatery. A female customer was ahead of me. She picked up an order and left. The nice man behind the counter cheerfully said hi. I reciprocated. He asked me what I'd like. I had looked at the list of sandwiches and mini meals before dropping by. I had the porchetta sandwich on my mind. After all, if it was a part of the original name, it must be good, right? He went ahead and made my sandwich. I saw him lightly toast what looked like a kaiser bun. The place smelled good. The porchetta is roasted for a good twelve hours. It has garlic aioli, mustard, sautéed onions, and arugula. He saw me looking at the Biggies cap. I loved it so much with the cute bear logo. I let him know that I'd be back for it and the meatball sandwich. The photo alone of this sandwich made me salivate hard. He handed me my sandwich in a paper bag. I thanked him and wished him a great day. He hoped that I'd like the sandwich. I left and headed to my car. I was still stuffed from lunch. I ended up running a bunch of errands before heading home. I had this sandwich as a snack watching the Winnipeg Jets game. This sandwich was massive! The man had wrapped the sandwich such that it was upside down with the arugula at the bottom of the top bun. It was interesting. I loved how tender the porchetta was. It was so flavourful and yummy. The garlic aioli and mustard were the perfect pairing of condiments for this sandwich. I loved the sautéed onions that brought out the natural pork flavour while providing some sweetness. I normally don't like using arugula in salads or anything because it tends to overpower everything with its peppery, bitter, nutty taste. I feel like the baby arugula chosen for this sandwich wasn't as in-your-face in boldness as it can be. It was a light peppery flavour that worked well with the other ingredients. This sandwich was so good. I am still thinking about how awesome it was. The porchetta sandwich goes for $12. It is packed with a lot of love. I'd definitely return and get another one. It's worth it, as the sandwich is massive. I had a great experience at Biggies. I'll be back for more good eats. (110)

I ordered a small 6oz grilled chicken plate (42g protein), with potatoes, caesar salad, and biggie's sauce. First off, the portions are MASSIVE. I was so full and had so much leftover potatoes after my meal, even though everything was delicious and I was straight inhaling it all. The chicken was brined, seasoned, and grilled to perfection-- I also don't typically go for chicken as my first choice of protein but this breast was JUICYYY. And with the biggie's sauce? Total flavor bomb. Caesar salad was just as expected, it added freshness and tang paired with the chicken and potatoes. The place is small, but clean and has a decent amount of seating available. The guy at the front was super friendly and gave great recommendations on what to pair my chicken with. I also really liked the music they put on, whoever was on aux has a great taste! The location and exterior of biggie's is unsuspecting for the quality of food they serve so it definitely classifies as a hidden/local gem. If you're a gym rat or in need of a balanced, filling meal that won't leave you feeling bloated or disgusting, I highly recommend their plates. However I will definitely be back to try their porchetta and fried stuff. 10/10 spot.

Before I came here, all of my coworkers were HYPING this place. Curious I went on a Friday! And then promptly walked back to the car because it was THAT busy. I decided to try this place again the next week after on a Monday at lunch, and it was much, much better. So tip: don't come here on a Friday lunch. It's a pretty small area with a few tables to dine in. Usually these are taken by fancy work people so go in with the expectation that you might have to bring your food back to the office and make those coworkers j e a l o u s. Upon entering, there's two areas to wait; one for salads and the other to sandwiches. I ordered the chicken avocado wrap and my boyfriend ordered the seared tuna sandwich (something fancy like that). They come with a salad and/or soup too so you can be EXTRA fancy and pompous when ordering your nice, healthy lunch. For the both of us with drinks, it came up to around $35 (goodbye money) and we got our food pretty quickly. I do have to say that the food is AMAZING! I don't know how they do it but there's legit magic in the food they make. The chicken avocado was great but I would recommended that tender seared tuna if you are feeling boujee enough. So yeah, 10/10 would recommend if you're feeling boujee health nutty, but be wary of coming there on a Friday and the week before you get paid!
