I was on the hunt for an Italian deli that sold sliced pepperoni for homemade pizzas, and that's…read morehow I discovered DeFalco's Italian Eatery, Grocery & Deli. I had already visited another Italian "grocery & deli" in the area, but it was mostly focused on sandwiches and only carried a very limited selection of deli meats. After striking out there, I started calling around to a few Italian grocers, and DeFalco's immediately stood out. When I called, they confirmed they sold sliced pepperoni, so I made the trip over. One of the first things I noticed was how busy the place was, which is usually a good sign! Despite the crowd, the staff was incredibly friendly and eager to help. When I verified that they had sliced pepperoni available, the employee immediately went into the back and brought out a fresh pound for me. What really surprised me was the price. I've been to other Italian delis where a half-pound of pepperoni cost more than what I paid for a full pound at DeFalco's. The value was outstanding, and the quality was even better. That night, I used the pepperoni on homemade pizzas, and it was absolutely delicious. You can tell you're getting the real deal. Between the friendly service, great prices, and high-quality products, DeFalco's has earned a repeat customer. I'll definitely be coming back for more pepperoni and look forward to exploring everything else they have to offer. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic Italian deli experience!

It rates itself "..best sandwich in the world.." lol Well I've tried a LOT of places and we both agree THE BEST, plenty of parking out front, service was quick and good, there IS plenty of seating inside.

The tastes while eating the sandwich all worked really well together. I order and ate the turkey and pastrami 6" added Avacado. Plus chips and regular drink. Approximately $20. Service was solid.

It was a very robust sandwich so I ate half and kept the other half for later. Next time I'll ask for the bread to be toasted because the bread in my sandwich was completely overwhelmed by the ingredients! I also (obviously) I paid extra for the additional turkey, so this wasn't a cheap sandwich. I gave it five stars cause I knew what I was getting into.

I liked how the Thai bowl was not spicy and each item was seasoned. The bowls tasted fresh and healthy. Hubby liked his bowl but wishes he had more sauce. Service: order at the counter on the touchscreen, take a number and they'll bring the food to you. Ambiance: it was too hot to eat outside, but they have cute seating inside and out. I wish they had Original ChopShop in Henderson, NV. Love these healthy choices!

So glad we came here, it was a great experience across the board. *Food: well curated, large portions, deliciously prepared, nicely/cleanly served. We had one Brunch Burrito and one Pastrami Melt. Both were excellent. The Pastrami Melt was ooey, gooey, chewy deliciousness. The bottomless Passion Fruit iced tea was great. Prices are reasonable and fair. *Service: everyone friendlier than the next. Clearly this starts at the top with the manager, Claire, who was fantastic, she exudes "ownership attitude", it's extremely obvious how much she genuinely cares. They're lucky to have her, she'll go far. *Atmosphere: super comfortable, open, clean, modern, bright, you just feel like you could hang out all day,...we kind of did and they made us feel welcome and comfortable over every second. *Overall: there's everything to like about this place. I'd go back here in a heartbeat if were in the area. Actually, even though there may be other places around I haven't tried, this was so good, I'd go here first. Highly recommend.

This is one of the nicer Cheba Hut locations. While the sandwiches are pretty consistent across the…read morefranchise, the individual locations have their own personalities. At this one, the mural is awesome -- it pays homage to vehicles from past television shows. (See how many you recognize! I laughed pretty hard at Thomas the Tank Engine since I watched that with my kids.) I am on a quest to try every sandwich from the Cheba Hut menu and I have worked my way through most of the main menu. I am mostly finishing up the vegetarian section before hitting the grilled cheese. (Peanut butter and honey on wheat is great, BTW!) I mention this because there is a "Secret Stash" menu and this shop features the "Bikini Bottom." When I ordered it, the cashier got excited because, "nobody orders that one!" Apparently, I am that guy. The Bikini Bottom: cream cheese, turkey, onions, pineapple, strawberry jelly, provolone, and bacon. I had it on the Parmesan herb bread with the jalapeño cream cheese option and it was quite tasty. I don't know what is wrong with people :D It is too bad that this location is so far from where I live, but it is nice to know that it is here for when I am far from home and need a "toasted" sandwich. Oh, don't forget the Kool-Aid! (Grape, Blue and Red)

As far as taste goes Ike's is the best sandwich I've ever had…read more Make sure you get the Dutch crunch bread. Also know that sandwiches are baked in their "dirty sauce" which i think is some kind of Mayo sauce. I usually ask for light dirty sauce because the dirty sauce can make it feel very heavy and be a little much. The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is their sandwiches tend to feel heavy, even with the light dirty sauce.

A HIDDEN GEM IN A SEA OF OVERPRICED MEDIOCRITY…read more I genuinely do not understand why more people aren't talking about Karsen's Grill. Everything I've eaten here has been fantastic. The salt and pepper wings are TO DIE FOR. The burgers are excellent, the fries are awesome, the onion rings are phenomenal, and the cocktails never disappoint. Seriously, I have yet to order something here that hasn't made me think, Why isn't everyone eating here? And then there's the service. I've had the same servers every time I've visited, and they're consistently wonderful: friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely good at what they do. They know the menu, they can make recommendations, and they make you want to come back. Imagine that! This is a small, unassuming place with about six tables and a bar. It's not trying to be the hottest reservation in Scottsdale. There's no pretentious bullshit, no need to drop $200 on a steak just to tell people you ate somewhere expensive, and no relying on trendy vibes to distract you from mediocre food. And THAT is what I love about this place. Scottsdale has no shortage of restaurants where the prices are astronomical, the atmosphere is carefully curated for Instagram, and somehow the actual food ends up being the least memorable part of the experience. People will wait forever for an overhyped restaurant, pay a fortune for a meal that's just okay, and convince themselves it was amazing because the place was popular. Meanwhile, Karsen's Grill is over here serving food that is genuinely, legitimately GOOD. Give me great food, a well-made cocktail, and staff who actually care about the experience over another overpriced, overhyped dining destination any day of the week. Karsen's is the kind of place you stumble across and immediately want to keep coming back to. If you actually care about what's on your plate more than how much it costs or how impressive the restaurant looks on social media, go to Karsen's Grill. Your wallet will thank you, your taste buds will thank you, and you'll wonder why the hell you ever bothered with some of the other places in Scottsdale. Just please don't let the secret out too much. I still want to get a table.

Karsen's Grill is located in Old Town Scottsdale and has become a go-to spot for my lunch rotation…read more I have been at least 2 times now, and each time has been great. The staff is friendly and quick to get the food out. It's a really casual spot with a small bar and bar height tables. They do offer outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. The last time I came in, I tried the Sunburst Chicken Bites because I wasn't starving but still wanted sustenance. It was okay, but pretty dry. The sauce helped but it tasted like it was from an old batch as it wasn't hot, either. I'll still come back because it's within walking distance from work and they have a bunch of other things on their menu I want to try. Prices are a bit above average but the portions are pretty generous. Parking in Old Town can be hit ir miss but there's plenty to go around. Check out Karsen's if you're in the area!
