Everything the three of us had was DELISH! The place has a cool retro vibe, but if I had to criticize one thing, it would be the lack of background music. There were 4 or 5 tables of people dining as we were seated, and I swear you could hear a pin drop because none of these older diners were talking. Not to mention they looked at us like the outsiders we were, LOL! As a result, our lively table became the focal point which left us somewhat self-conscious. Some Sinatra-era music would help this wonderful restaurant's atmosphere enormously! Overall though, a wonderful little gem of a cafe in Elizabeth!

They're only open for breakfast and lunch. Basic looking place but has more room than expected to be honest. It's got a back area with a bar and slots. The bad thing is this place isn't open later because there would be fun times. Has breakfast and lunch menus. It's about $12 to get a sandwich and a side. A lot of the menu is meaty. We each got the Veggie Sub. Comes with avocados, black olives, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, Muenster which I left off, onions, tomatoes, and a vinaigrette, along with choice of a side, which I got with chips. This was pretty good even though the lettuce seemed old. Other menu items include chicken salad and typical deli classics. There's also breakfast with eggs and other stuff. For sure could get something from here again. It's best to go at lunch. They're closed Wednesdays.

This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

There are the usual deli sides (tater salad, slaw, Mac n cheese, chili, and soup). Some locally-made sweets and a ginormous peanut butter cup...all that and bags of chips!! My Rueben wrap was solid and hubby's sandwich was gone before we were in the entrance ramp back to I-88. It sustained us for the day and was a much-relieved departure from the usual fast-food chain burger or chicken. The employees were pleasant and patient with customers. Got our order correct and completed quickly! Whether you are on I-88 or a local, pop in to Arthur's Garden deli for a sando. For the same amount of time as a big-box store, you can enjoy a custom sandwich and support the local economy!

They also had canned soda was a plus for me. Overall, it was a 9/10 experience and highly recommend!!

The two individuals in the Subway who greeted me were cheerful and incredibly friendly, which was a pleasant surprise. I asked if they still had a sandwich I had enjoyed earlier this year--a "Mexicali" something or other. Although it was no longer on the menu, the staff member said they could still make it for me! I was elated! I was genuinely impressed by this level of customer service, as it's not something I usually experience at Subway chains. The sandwich was delicious, and I probably ate it too quickly. The ambiance was typical of most Subways--clean and quiet. I felt compelled to leave them a very good tip.

There is handicap parking, and the building is handicap accessible. Having never been there before, we were thankful for the signage directing us to the doors. They do have a couple of picnic tables outside. If you choose to sit out there to eat in the sunshine, that is an option. The staff was very friendly and greeted us as soon as we walked in the door, which is always nice when trying a new place. The restaurant is a little rustic. However, it was very clean and decorated to go with the marina setting in mind. The menu had plenty of options. However, some options on the menu are not always available. They also have several specials written on a board on the wall. I asked if they serve breakfast all day and was told they do have some who come in any time of day just for breakfast. I am however unclear as to what days and hours they are open. There were 2 of us in our party and both happened to order a chicken sandwich and fries. One was a grilled chicken sandwich and the other was the fried chicken sandwich. They were both very good with a unique and flavorful sauce on them. There was a sweet fry bread on the specials board so we ordered it to go and it was fantastic. We decided if we are ever in the area again, we would return just for that.
