One of my favorite treats! I love going to Stasios for their sandwiches, salads and baked items…read more Their sandwiches are made to order and served on freshly baked bread. We tried their Italian, sub of the week and caprese with chicken. All of the sandwiches were delicious and huge. Definitely shareable but you won't want to share because they are that good. The vinaigrette on the subs is heavenly. I also can't leave without getting the beet salad, tomato/mozzerella, and the pasta salad. All of them are so good. The beets are so fresh and light - they are my favorite. If you go early enough you can also snag some Sfogliatella or rainbow cookies. They also have a variety of cakes in different varieties and flavors. In addition to fresh offerings, they have a variety of Italian grocery items from pastas and sauces, to cookies and wafers, to canned or pickled veggies. Definitely an Orlando staple that you have to try!

That personal touch makes the experience feel extra special. A heads-up on parking; the lot is pretty small and shared with a brewery, so it can get a little tricky. With a bit of patience, though, you should be able to find a spot. I tried the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, and it was so good! I love that they offer it all day. The bread was freshly made, and they use real eggs. It was perfectly seasoned that I didn't even need to add salt or pepper. I also tried their Italian wedding and rainbow cookies, both delicious. Prices are reasonable for the quality you receive. They have a deli, where you can pick up fresh meats, they have a coffee bar, with a selection of desserts, and a little shopping area where you can pick up authentic Italian pantry staples like pasta and sauces. Seating includes a few bar seats along the back wall and covered outdoor tables. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, especially the chicken parm sandwich. Between the quality of the food, welcoming staff, and charming atmosphere, I highly recommend Stasio's.

I ordered the Big version of the Prime Beef sandwich thinking I'd take half home for leftovers. Unfortunately the 1st have was so darn delicious, I ate the 2nd half. Yes, I'm uncomfortably full now but due entirely to my lack of discipline . The sandwich shocked me how good it was. We used to love Quizno's toasted subs but they have been long gone. So glad to see a toasted sub place again. The wife ordered same sub - original size, and loved it too. We will definitely be back again and again to try different options.

I stopped in after doing some shopping and placed my order online so it would be ready by the time I finished. I ordered the chicken club sandwich and a Dream Bar. It was after 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and the restaurant was pretty much empty. My order was ready ahead of the quoted pickup time, which I appreciated. However, the sandwich didn't quite live up to what I remember. The bread didn't taste as fresh as I expected, and the sandwich was lukewarm instead of warm and toasty like I've experienced at other locations. The Dream Bar was also not quite what I remembered. It didn't have the same richness or taste that made it a favorite for me in the past. I'm not sure if the time of day impacted the quality, but the overall experience just didn't match the Potbelly I remember from Chicago. That said, because I've had great experiences with this brand in the past, I'd be open to giving this location another try.

Incredibly disappointed in the TLB. I've been a fan for a long time, especially their dry aged…read moremeats, and am more than willing to pay for this type of product. Today, though, I noticed them selling Japanese Wagyu as: Sake Infused Dry Aged A9 Kobe Strip. This is a very scammy way of selling a product. First, meat is graded broadly on three scales - USDA (choice, prime), BMS (beef marbling scale - common in Aus), and the Japanese grading scale. (A1-A5, with most high end steaks being A4 or the gold standard, A5). https://meatnbone.com/blogs/the-clever-cleaver/meat-beef-grading-system-understanding A9 doesn't exist. A BMS 9 could be an A5. But this is mislabeled. They have also used the term A11 in their instagram account. Maybe they are confusing BMS for A-scale, or maybe they are intentionally trying to make their product seem better than competitors. Furthermore, not all Japanese Wagyu is Kobe beef. Kobe beef refers to Tajima cattle raised in Hyogo Japan. The export of this beef is highly regulated to only certain restaurants and purveyors, who will display a seal and certificate certifying the origin of the beef. It is rare, expensive, and most importantly, Bush Brothers (Local Butcher's wholesale purveyor) is not certified to sell, nor do they use in any way, the term Kobe Beef. So it is incredibly likely that this product is mislabeled. This isn't illegal (Kobe beef doesn't have a TM in the US), but it is disingenuous. https://www.kobe-niku.jp/en/contents/certification/index.html https://instagram.com/bushbros Next, "sake infused"is incredibly confusing. Is it referring to the myth that Kobe cattle are massaged with sake? Is it referred to the use of koji (fermented cooked rice) which is often used as an aging accelerant? Or did they really take Japanese Wagyu and infuse (inject, soak?) with sake? And why on earth would you do that!? It would be like making sangria with a bottle of DRC. This product is likely a A5 strip loin (which Bush Bros. does carry) that has been aged. Market price would be somewhere around $175-185/lb. (An unaged cut would be around $150/lb.) When I asked for more information on the most expensive cut of meat in their shop, I was treated with disdain and a dismissive attitude. Neither member of the staff could answer my questions other than to say "It's the highest grade of Kobe beef." To charge $215 dollars for a grade that doesn't exist, for a steak that isn't from Kobe, with an aging method that seems dubious at best, is disingenuous and plays on a lack of consumer knowledge. If The Local Butcher themselves don't know the differences here, they shouldn't sell this product. If they do, they should be ashamed of themselves.

We didn't realize they only offer bialys or sesame buns, but we were all pleasantly surprised and happy with our choices. Everyone except me ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on different bialys like jalapeño & Muenster, everything, and caramelized onion. I ordered the bacon sandwich on a jalapeño & Muenster bialy, which was delicious. My sandwich came with bacon, an over-medium egg, and smoked jalapeño cream cheese, all perfectly toasted. There were no complaints from anyone, honestly, we all ate in silence, which says a lot because we were too busy enjoying the food. The only downside is that it's not much of a dine-in spot, as they only have high-top tables and no chairs. I also got an iced cinnamon latte, which was not overly sweet and had a great espresso flavor. One of my friends ordered a hot lavender latte and really enjoyed it. We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures! If we lived closer, we'd definitely come here more often.

The corned beef was cooked perfectly and the potato cakes were crispy and savory. The show stopper (literally) for me were the eggs. I always order eggs over medium, this is the ONLY time anyone has gotten it right, not just right but perfect! When Julissa came by to check on me I told her, "Whoever you have cooking in the back is doing it so right!" She smiled and said she'd let Jordani know. She went to the back to let him know and I could hear them cheering Jordani on. In a time where the service industry is being criticizedfor being mediocre, it was refreshing to see a team actually care about what they're putting out. I thought it was very sweet and well deserved to celebrate someone for their efforts. Also thank you to the gentleman (sorry I didn't catch your name) in the front who was pleasant to talk to. This experience truly made my day and was a great way to start my Sunday!

Honestly, I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't recommend. Empanadas? Amazing. Cuban sandwiches? Amazing. Desserts? Amazing. The coffee is probably a 4/5 for me, but that's only because I'm personally not a huge fan of darker Cuban-style coffee, it was still really good though! The atmosphere is always spotless and has such fun Cuban/Miami vibes. It's casual, welcoming, and just a great place to grab lunch. The only downside is that parking can be a little stressful depending on when you go, but it's absolutely worth it every single time. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go.

It's essentially thick hash browns cut into chunks and fried, with all the loaded potato ingredients on top! It was very filling and great for sharing. For the sandwiches, they're pretty good too. If you like Reuben, then their sandwiches are really good! The beef dip one was also super good! It includes a French onion soup dip that you can dip the sandwich into. The sandwich is a bit soggy from all the moisture from the beef and French onion soup, but if you're okay with that, you should be able to enjoy it like I did! The banana dream cake was super good too. Got it to go since the food was very filling but we wanted to try a cake. It wasn't too sweet and the small chocolate chips is a good combo with the banana.

She greeted me warmly as usual. Since I used to live in the Chicago-South Bend, IN area, I provided her a little garden flag from the Pierogi Festival I would attend when I was up in that area. She hung it proudly in her deli and thanked me for the gift. I thanked her for bringing authentic Polish food back into my life! I purchased the Polish kielbasa sausage again as well as the Polish ham. Both were exceptional the last time I purchased them. This time, I added frozen pierogies-one made with cheese and the other with sauerkraut. It reminded me of the pierogies my mom used to make, and I cannot wait to serve them for the holidays. I then asked Monica if she had any golabki (stuffed cabbage). She said, "I just made some fresh this morning." I purchased a package of three. I had two of them later that evening and they brought back great memories of my past. They were as good as babcia (grandmother) used to make!
