I tried a bread bowl salad for the first time and I can't believe I've never had one. The bread is out of this world good. I got the Asian chicken salad and it has the Chinese salad on top which is my other favorite item on the menu. I got the peanut dressing and it was so good! They actually gave me the regular chicken salad and I had to send it back cause it has almonds and I'm allergic. They were so kind about getting me the Asian chicken salad. Yum as always!!

I did like the turkey and the bacon however I'm not so sure about the alfalfa sprouts. The bread that it came on was a 12 grain darker type of bread which normally I would not have chosen. Overall, it tasted fresh, but I'm not sure of it was worth $16. It did come with a small cookie. They also got a gourmet grilled cheese and that was pretty decent for nine dollars. Overall, I felt the staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Ironically enough, that's not what I went with, but great know they had a variety of veggie dogs and lettuce wraps for those who want gluten free sandwich options. I went with basic but really good hot dogs. I believe they were called "Reggie Dogs". The place definitely had a really cool locals vibe and the employees behind the counter were great. I got my food within five minutes of ordering it. If you're looking for a good deli in this area, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I had lunch here with three friends yesterday. It's tiny and has no restroom, so I had to cross the…read morestreet to use the Food Conspiracy restroom. Seating is very limited, but we did get a high-top table with four seats. There is counter service only. As for the food, I got one of the daily specials, a hot meatball sub with a pickle spear, a bag of chips and a can of cream soda ($13.50 for the lot). I liked my sandwich. One of my friends got the hot pastrami sandwich and was not impressed. The menu consists mostly of sandwiches and hot dogs with toppings; they have vegetarian and vegan options. They add a 2.5% surcharge if you pay by credit card.

I stopped here during a recent trip to Tucson. After 90+ minutes of driving, I was hungry and had…read moreseen this place during a previous trip. Parking is in the back and seemed pretty crowded even though I visited during an "off" time -- around 2pm -- for lunch. Still, I eventually found a spot and didn't have to walk too far. The inside of the shop is nothing fancy: order at the window and pick up when your name is called. There are a few 2-person tables inside by the order window and some outdoor tables. There may be some tables in the front, but I didn't make it up there. I had the full-szed Badger as it comes standard (Steak, Pepper Jack, Grilled Onion, Grilled Mushroom, Grilled Pepper, Grilled Jalapeño, Lettuce, Pickles, Chipotle Ranch, Garlic Spread) on Ciabatta bread. Even though I thought I was hungry, it was a LOT of sandwich and I could have been fine with the half. The place was empty save for two other people waiting on orders and they departed quickly upon receiving their sandwiches. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful while I decided what I wanted to order and offered some suggestions. I sat at one of the small tables and enjoyed my hot, fresh sandwich: the sandwich was both temperature hot and spicy hot, thanks to the really nice jalapeños! I'l definitely come back!

This is a cool little spot along that weird stretch of Broadway. Good selection on the menu and…read morethe food is prepared as expected. The portions are a little small for the price. Folks behind the counter are very friendly. The only thing I noticed is they seem to struggle with a really clunky point of sale system. There were many looks and gasps of bewilderment from the two folks trying to ring up orders. This significantly slowed down the long line. They have weird policies around adding chicken to the Bobbi salad. It literally makes no sense to charge $3.50 to add chicken to that salad when it costs $2.99 to add it to any other salad. It's the same amount of chicken, according to the folks behind the counter, but they have to do what the clunky point of sale system tells them to do. Otherwise the food is good and it's a decent spot to grab a note to eat. I recommend the bullrider wrap. Don't add chicken to your Bobbi salad. Mayhem.

We chose this place as we were passing through Tucson at lunchtime between different morning and…read moreafternoon venues. This place is located in an artsy / entertainment district close to downtown. When we went, there was road construction nearby that made getting here more challenging. Once we located it, the next challenge was parking. We visited around noon on a Saturday. There are no large parking lots, so you have to find something on-street. We ventured a couple of blocks off the main street and found something. However, the signage wasn't really clear on whether you had to pay on weekends or not. We accessed the parking app via a QR code, but it told us that our space 'was not available', despite the fact that we were in the space. A guy leaving the space next to us confirmed that parking *was* free on weekends, so we trusted that and walked to the restaurant. In retrospect, I think the app meant that we did not need to pay, but 'not available' seems a bit vague for that... The restaurant is located on a strip of old storefronts that now house restaurants, record shops, etc. There was a lot of pedestrian traffic out front, including a homeless guy asking for change. The atmosphere was sort of a loud, slightly cramped dive bar. I don't mean that in a bad way, but that was the vibe. The music was loud - none of it was familiar but I didn't hate it. I guess my point is that if you are looking for a quiet spot for lunch, this is probably not it. We initially were offered a table on their covered patio. We left one person there while sorting out parking, but when we came back they had a booth inside so we grabbed that instead. The patio seemed shaded and semi-comfortable, other than a loud barking dog. We browsed the menus and ordered our food. We all got half-and-half combos (soup/salad or sandwich/soup). The only issue was that the soups came in a bread bowl. I was able to finish my soup, but felt bad about not eating more of the bowl. If I'd had the option, I would have gotten a plastic bowl. The salad was pretty big, despite being only half. I finished most of it. We ended up having sufficient leftovers from others such that we took them back to our hotel (a relatively short drive) and finished them the next evening. All the food was tasty. This wasn't what I was expecting, but I'd consider eating here again given the right circumstances / group.

Went here with zero expectations Was so pleasantly…read moresurprised! When first entering it's a very small booths and bar but if you continue down the hall past the bathrooms they have a big open outside/indoor patio seating area! Great if you have kids or pets with you So the food. Honestly some of the best sandwiches I've ever had Their combo with the bread bowl and half a sandwich is hard to beat to be honest. A little bit of both worlds there I recommend eating the bread bowl first because it's more filling that you think and you can take the sandwich home They have a wide range of options for everyone And even offer a picky kid friendly sandwiches like PB & J, might sound boring or normal but that was the best PB & J I've ever had The staff is very nice and helpful They run the bar also and will bounce between the bar and your table So if the bar is busy I'm sure it could take a bit for you to order at your table Great food Great environment And friendly people Highly recommended!

Another time... Fortunately for us we ended up at the Monica diagonally across from the Fox. They have an extensive menu with pasta, salads, entrees like steak & frites and sandwiches. The food was excellent! Sue had the tortellini with a sage butter sauce with the addition of chicken scaloppine. I had the spicy chicken sandwich on a brioche bun with cabbage slaw and hot honey sirracha sauce. The chicken was crunchy and moist. The sauce was sweet and spicy but not overly spicy. I upgraded to the sweet potato fries and they were crispy just the way I like them. At the Monica you order your food at the counter. They give you a number and then they bring the food to your table. Even though it was a Friday and very busy, it was easy to find a table.

Murals adorning the walls trellis plants everywhere. A really gorgeous little scene. Ceres offers freshly made pastas and gelato with a rotating special. I have the bucatini with the Casio e Pepe sauce and my bestie had their weekly special which featured olives, orange zest and a light and delicate sauce and she added burrata to the top. We both had gelato. I opted for the Oreo. She opted for a blend of the two flavors and maxed out all of the toppings. Service there is super easy. You walk up to the window order what you want and you're given a number. When your pasta is hot and ready they'll call your number for pickup. While you're waiting you seat yourself and there's plenty of seating for everyone. The portion sizes are perfect and the pasta is just scrumptious. It's also a great way to walk off lunch by taking a stroll through the artist village. If you were looking for good food and a quaint setting this can certainly be your spot!

Univ/3rd Av Tram stop, Free for now, so conveniently placed on Time's door stop with a time tracker to plan your trip, so not to miss the show ;) Beautiful lit courtyard with tree cover from the beating sun to offer some al fresco dining. Cooler climes indoors consist of shallow window bars and small tables nestled in between market shelves and the open kitchen. Consistently busy through the day, you may find yourself lingering a minute for a spot. There's minimal parking on side of building, and on Univ Blvd main street but resident reserved during daytime week day hours. Basically a scratch kitchen with pasta, Sammie bread, and pizza made in house. House pasta, bakery case, & Organic greens beautifully presented on their grocery side make their way onto plates so perfectly balanced by their vinaigrettes / dressings and specials. Pair your mains from the cold case of curated probiotic sodas, buch, & hops and vine. Best pasta I've had in my memory with a unique medley of mushrooms-- chesnut, maitakes and oysters in a shroom broth that definitely featured silky butter. As a Daily special, be sure to read the board next to the restaurant register, I almost ordered the albacore Sammie haha. Our 3 diners having also missed it, longingly loved the bite I shared. Their sausage, pepperoni pizzas & charcuterie salad were very pleasing but all agreed the pasta reigned supreme! The market side showcases the best in local and international pantries from Balsamic, Salt, Chocolate, Condiments, Canned, Teas & Coffee, etc and a Cheese & Deli Case. Be sure to lay eyes on the Ferrari of Slicing machines, a gorgeous black and gold showpiece behind the case. After the show we stopped again for coffee & dessert but had just missed last call for coffee at 9P, an hr before close, so sad. The chocolate cake had also disappeared and just a few cookies and few slices white cake remained. Be warned lol Our next visit will not wait another 2 years, the best kind of work to wade through TM's boards :D

Upon arrival there was one bag ready to go with receipt stapled to the outside. I just saw the total price in the largest print and it was exactly right. Someone asked my name, I called it out, and they rang up the bag. I decided to just sit down for 5 minutes and enjoy the sandwich fresh since I had requested that it be toasted (they will now toast any sandwich - a game changer!) But the sandwich I opened was cold. I went back and said, hey, I'm super easy going, I was just wondering if you guys could still toast this? Fernando came over and was super apologetic. He then asked to see the receipt to troubleshoot the oversight and, lo and behold, different name, not the bootlegger, and not toasted. Wrong Bag! He promptly had my sandwich made (which apparently never came through on the app). At the same time the person whose bag I had paid for called in and said he had ordered his sub to the wrong location! Fernando was terrific about fixing everything. And, yes, the bootlegger toasted (with added crispy onions and cucumbers and no mayo) was ready lightening fast and terrific. The venue is hard to park at but the tables are typically clean and the fountain drinks are easy to access.

The coffee was good I would order again but it wasn't life changing. What was amazing beyond belief was their pastries, they said they were all made fresh daily and they had everything from sweet to savory and all looked great. A few things that caught my eye specifically were their Egg Tarts, Custard Donuts, and their Kanafeh. I opted for the Kanafeh because you don't see this anywhere really. The Kanafeh was all that it should be. It was crispy, had a mild cheese in the center and the bottom was soaked with a honey syrup. It was topped with pistachios which added some salt to it and some crunch. I would go back just for this. I think this place is a must stop!
