DO NOT USE ORDER AHEAD…read more Ordered via the app and was given a time to pick up within 10 minutes. Unfortunately it took another 30 minutes before the order was finished (2 subs).m, over 40 minutes! Do not recommend, or at least not the order ahead which is highly flawed.

I'll be honest I had never been to a Jersey Mike's before my visit this weekend. I don't know why,…read morebut I would rather go to any other sandwich shop than figure out Jersey Mike's. It's always felt overwhelming but we decided to try it anyways. My coworker ordered her lunch online- apparently she's a pro. I on the other hand ordered inside. It was overwhelming, I was immediately scanning the big menu ahead trying to figure out what I wanted. There's a lot of options- hot or cold, veggie loaded or not... I was struggling. Eventually I asked the employee for a recommendation based on the two I had picked. He was as helpful as he could be, but I wasn't prepared for all of his follow up questions. There were times during my visit where it's clear the employees assume everyone has been there before. Things were explained to me- for started I have no idea what "Mike's way" is nor did I end up wanting it. Personally I was overwhelmed during my entire visit, but maybe that's on me for not knowing anything about where I picked for lunch. Their sandwich was really good- I went with a cold cut and I was already thinking about going back next week. I would order again for pick up, but I don't think I'll be going back inside. I recommend checking it out if you've never been to a Jersey Mike's. This location also has really friendly employees and they were super helpful.

Sandwiches are consistently fresh and taste good. This is a homemade sandwich & soup shop. They…read moreusually have 3 soups on the menu for the day. The chicken wild Rice is good. The sand which comes in 1/3 or 1/2 or whole. The bread is wide, soft and scrumptious. The service is quick and friendly. Cute decor with 8-10 tables. I usually get the Club or Italian but this last time I went and multiple seafood sandwiches went out the door so now I need to try that. Check them out for good Homeade food.

Myself and two friends enjoyed us some Smokestack Express today, and I have to say we were…read moreimpressed. I stopped in and picked up lunch for all of us, and everything was perfect. The brisket sandwich, ribs, chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and baked beans were all perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Justine helped me over the phone while I was trying to figure out lunch plans. I was actually headed to another restaurant when I found out halfway there that they were closed on Mondays. I had to switch gears quickly, and that's when I found Smokestack Express. Justine was extremely helpful, friendly, and patient. She made the ordering process easy and was genuinely pleasant to talk to. The food would have been enough to bring me back, but her attitude and professionalism made the experience even better. I can see why this business is successful. Great food combined with great people is a winning combination. Thanks, Smokestack Express, for saving my butt today. You've definitely gained a new customer.

Allow yourself a little breakfast sin at Perk Up Kitchen…read more It's important to have a favorite breakfast joint in the place(s) you reside and I think we found ours! The interior and exterior vibe are cool and inviting but it's the menu that really makes breakfast here a special experience. Each item is a little work of art in flavor, creativity, visual appeal, and the trendy/classic balance. Let's talk some of these menu items that impressed. Any good breakfast starts with good coffee and juice. The coffee is great and the orange juice is obviously fresh squeezed - the bright flavor that greets your mouth first sip proves it. We chose a variety of different kinds of items. I went sweet with the Strawberry Cornbread waffle. The flavors were a taste of strawberry heaven with its fresh strawberries PLUS a syrupy compote, honey butter and whipped cream. My husband likes to go hearty with layered potato and egg dishes so he went the distance and got the Breakfast Poutine. Layers of goodness in every forkful. What really ties this one together is the white sausage gravy. My kids always choose pancakes but a shout out to the scotch square accompaniment to the kids meal. A little stolen nibble reminded me of when my grandma used to melt butterscotch chips for recipes when I was a kid. Nice touch for kids and their parents reaching across their plates. I would rank this even higher than the bougie, high priced breakfast joints back home (which are struggling to prove their value for me these days). The food here gets you that more approachable decadence without making your eyes completely pop out of your head come check-time.

Had a great Sunday brunch at Perk Up Eatery with a couple of friends! It was my first time trying…read moreit, and it was such a fun spot for a relaxed brunch. We even sat outside and enjoyed the fall weather. I started with the Maple Cold Brew Old Fashioned, made with Bulleit Bourbon, espresso liqueur, cold brew, maple syrup, and bitters. It was such a fun twist on an Old Fashioned - rich, coffee-forward, and just the right amount of sweet. For brunch, I ordered the Sunday in Italy - roasted red peppers, bruschetta tomatoes, artichokes, spinach, garlic, Gouda, fontina, and Gruyère topped with pesto. It came with greens with their house maple vinaigrette. Lots of flavor and definitely a satisfying brunch dish. Instead of toast, I upgraded for a gluten-free chocolate muffin, which was a nice little sweet treat to finish things off. Great place to catch up with friends over brunch, especially if you like creative cocktails and dishes with lots of flavor. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

OMG, I think I'm IN LOVE…read more And this place is literally SO CLOSE to where we live now, I can walk there in just half an hour. (Probably good cuz you gotta work off the calories from those malts...) I actually saw this place advertised on a road sign for eateries to expect on the next exit. Usually those get covered in all the food chains like Taco Bell and junk, so my interest was piqued and I announced my enthusiasm to my hubbie that we try it. DELICIOUS. We arrived on a lovely sunny spring day, so we chose to dine outside on their patio area. The inside had a fun retro cafe aesthetic that I'm sure we'll enjoy during the cooler months at some point too. The staff was incredibly friendly and in a good mood, which added to my own happiness upon arrival. We were seated and given menus to study, and I do mean I had to thoroughly study it. Picking out what I wanted was TOUGH. Everything looked mouth-wateringly good, but I finally settled on the patty melt on the marbled rye with the waffle fries. Excellent choice, and it was so humongous of a portion that I ended up taking half home and reheating it in my air fryer another day. Love that! Hubbie and I shared a large chocolate malt, which they gave us two glasses to pour into. It was also delicious. All the prices seemed pretty reasonable, especially for nowadays the way the economy is. IYKYK. We're already planning the next time we'll be back! Yummy yummy in my tummy!

You can feel the energy as soon as you walk in. It's lively without being overwhelming, and just feels like a good time all around. Our waiter was awesome on point, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without missing a beat. That kind of service really makes a difference. I ordered the salmon bowl, and it was absolutely amazing. Cajun salmon over jasmine rice, layered with cabbage, slaw, carrots, cucumber, avocado, sweet mirin, sweet heat, firecracker sauce, and sesame seeds... literally a mound of goodness. Every bite had flavor, texture, and just the right amount of kick. Overall, this is a solid go-to whether you're out with family, linking with friends, or on a casual date. Good vibes, great service, and food that delivers.

I couldn't recommend to stay as far away from this place as possible enough…read more The staff is not trained well, you will get incorrect answers to questions and your kids will be disappointed. I came here for the first time as I live right down the road and I would never recommend this place to anyone. I had an incredibly frustrating experience and unfortunately there wasn't any type of resolution that was given to us - not even an apology. The kid at the register simply told me he was new. I understand things happen but at least have a team meeting or something and get your crap figured out. Extremely disappointed. Not a fun experience. Not a place I'd go back to unless they are able to make things right. I have a daughter in TEARS because of my experience and I have been up all night thinking about what to do. Hence why this review is coming at 5am. Stay away from this place and go somewhere else.
