Bright and clean shop with nice service…read more This is not a fast sandwich shop, they thoughtful build each sandwich so so not be in a rush. Pastrami Ruben- my favorite of this order, really just delicious. Italian- delicious and messy, very classic. Chocolate chip cookie- good, would like it baked with a bit more salt but no major complaints. Clam chowder- I hate how good this is, I really hope it's from scratch .

I ordered two sandwiches online. One of the sandwiches came with everything listed on the…read moredescription on the website, but apparently for the other sandwich you are expected to individually select each ingredient that's already listed in the description yourself or else they won't add it to the sandwich. It really doesn't make sense as to why I would be expected to do this for one sandwich and not the other. I drove all the way back to the restaurant and was patient even when they told me about this inconsistency on the website. However, my main disappointment regarding this experience comes from the staff trying to tell me the original sandwich I received was correct. Apparently the website voids every ingredient that is supposed to come on the sandwich when you pay for extra add-ons, however my original sandwich was STILL missing the add-ons I paid for (avocado and cheese) and included the skimpiest amount of bacon, even though I paid for 3X bacon. On top of that, the size of the bread was half that of my other sandwich, which is supposed to be the same size. The girl at the counter tried to tell me it was because my other sandwich had more veggies (even though they were both supposed to have the same amount) but I really don't think that should affect the size of bread they give you. I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of accountability and the staff trying to convince me my sandwich was right when we were all looking right at it. It honestly was just the weirdest experience because they were all staring at the open face sandwich trying to tell me it had the ingredients I paid for. Even if they claim I was supposed to add the original ingredients manually myself, it STILL was missing the extra add-ons they charged me for. It was extremely odd that they kept going back and forth with me instead of admitting their mistake, so I decided to let it go. Lastly, the person whom I'm assuming is the manager re-wrapped the original sandwich for me and said he would make me another one and I could keep the first one. When I went to leave, the girl at the counter gave me grievance over taking both home, as if she either wanted it for herself or she was planning on recycling the ingredients for the next sandwich which I really hope wouldn't be the case for other customers' sake considering I literally took it home and brought it back to show them. Overall just a very weird customer service experience. Would not recommend.

So I keep trying new spots hoping one finally hits. I'd driven past Urban Teri Kitchen a bunch of times taking my kids to practices and games and finally decided to stop in. Didn't even check Yelp first. Just went in blind based on a good feeling about the place. Glad I did. I ordered the half-and-half with chicken teriyaki and katsu, and honestly it was one of the better teriyaki plates I've had anywhere around here. The chicken was flavorful, the katsu was crispy without being greasy, and everything tasted fresh. It's a little pricier than some teriyaki spots, but the quality backs it up. My wife and I could easily split one order next time. I came in around 4 PM, so it wasn't packed, but the people inside looked happy, the restaurant was clean, and the whole place just had a really good vibe. Sometimes you can tell within a minute whether a place cares about what they're doing, and this felt like one of those spots. There's a reason they've got 4.7 stars. If anything, I'd say that rating is deserved.

All the sandwiches are fully customizable as to choice of bread and accoutrements, so keep that in mind. The garlic chili oil, chipotle ranch, and chipotle mayo spreads are all house made. I had the Turkey BLT with Avocado with "The Works", on a house made roll that they make daily. "The Works" includes mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes, and chopped red onions. With the one inch thick stack of fresh, thinly sliced turkey and all those other delicious ingredients, this sandwich girl's heart was in heaven. I can't even describe how fresh every single ingredient was on this sandwich. Let's just say everything had a clean taste to it and not one ingredient overpowered the other ingredients. Oh! And I got a delicious house made chocolate chip cookie with the sandwich. There are daily specials. On Fridays, they supposedly have the best London Broil roast beef French Dip sandwich, with house made Au jus that is allegedly out of this world. Might have to make two trips to Tina's this week! A hidden gem.

Let me start by saying I don't think I have had better tasting bread/roll on a sandwich anywhere…read moreelse in recent memory than I have had here at On a Roll. From the first bite I had from my own Focaccia Roll, to the rest of my wife's Onion Roll I sampled hours later at home, it was perfectly baked and delicious with a lightly chewy crust to a soft and very flavorful interior that blended nicely salted and slightly sweet notes with a fragrant hint of herbs in the aftertaste. Seriously outstanding bread. With that being said, I very much liked our visit to On a Roll in Carlsbad. It's a small shop in the middle of an Office Park, open only during weekdays, with an interior that reminds of the shops I used to visit with my father back in the late 80's and 90's. The service was personable, their menu extensive, and their side selections include the Dirty Potato Chips brand, which is always a plus. I ordered their daily special, which was grilled chicken and sharp provolone that was supposed to be served on a French baguette. As noted, it eventually came on a Focaccia Roll, which was still delicious, but I admittedly would have preferred what was advertised. The chicken was well cooked, the horseradish sauce had a nice and light bite, and it was overall very tasty. My wife had The Gambler, which the wall menu stated was a roast beef and cheddar on a onion roll. When we sat down and looked at the take home menu, we realized it also came with tomatoes and mustard, two things she detests. Looking back at the wall menu, we saw the disclaimer that all sandwiches come with those standard written at the bottom in darker green lettering. We tried to amend our order and have those left off, but it was too late. She was able to salvage her lunch by removing the bottom bun and still thought her meal was pretty good. Overall, issues aside, our lunch here at On a Roll was pretty fantastic. And even despite those two errors in our order, I have to say I want to come back. With the bread they have here leading the way, the freshly sliced meat to order, and a wide selection of options that all sound worth a try, we definitely plan on making our way out here again in the future.

This place sells their "normal" lobster roll for $30 each. I know prices on everything have gone through the roof (thanks, Iran War) but that is a lot of money. I have no complaints whatsoever about the roll. For the "normal" roll (that's what they call it), there was plenty of lobster and it was great. The toasted buttered bread is especially delicious. But for the price....$30 is basically the cost of a meal at a sit-down restaurant. So you always have to balance quality, quantity, and price. Incidentally, on the menu, there is no reference to "Maine" versus "Connecticut" style rolls. (My understanding is that the lobster in a Maine roll is cold and is dressed with mayo while the Connecticut lobster is served warm and is more buttery.) The video screen above the counter to this place mentions you can order it either way. The menu should also say this but whatever, this is just an FYI. If you don't specify a style, you will get the more popular Maine roll. I saw a number of people getting lobster rolls so apparently others are willing to spring the big bucks for this dish. It is delicious but you decide if it is worth it for you.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was wonderful. The service was impeccable, and we were made to feel like longtime regulars. Everyone, from the owners to the waitstaff, was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and kind. Of course, the true star of the evening was the food. My son ordered the Chicken Alfredo, while I enjoyed the salmon with penne, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. We started with a Caesar salad featuring a wonderful homemade dressing, and when it came time for dessert, we simply couldn't choose just one! The cannoli, filled with homemade ricotta, was exceptional, and the homemade tiramisu was the perfect ending to our meal. The entire experience made us feel as though we had been transported back to Boston for an evening of dining in the North End. We cannot wait to return and try more of the menu.

Great find, and one we'd look forward to returning to when in this area.
