The ice cream and pies on offer looked tantalizing, but we came in for dinner first. We ordered 2 hot sandwiches and swapped halves so we could enjoy sampling more on our first visit. We tried the Italian Stallion and the Great Dane sandwiches, both on sourdough, with fries on the side. We loved both sandwiches, but thought the Great Dane was better. The American Fries are actually roasted, seasoned new potatoes (not fried potatoes), but they were delicious! For dessert I had to go with the classic banana split because they are hard to come by. Amazing! I highly recommend this place if you are in the area!

The Classic is just that, a beloved local spot in downtown Brooklyn where the friendly service and delicious food made for a truly memorable dining experience! The staff made us feel right at home from the warm greeting at the door to the server's helpful recommendations. The menu offered plenty of options, including daily specials. My tacos were delicious and bursting with flavor. Whether you live nearby or just passing through - i would definitely recommend making a stop here.

The food was delicious, served hot & speedy, by a cheerful staff. The dining area was clean upon arrival and the room smelt of toasted bread. I liked the faux brick decor. The restroom looked maintained and smelled pleasant. Pictured below is my half small beef dip. It had tender American Wagyu beef, provolone cheese, and mayo on a toasted hoagie. I highly recommend asking for no mayo. Between the three half subs I've had in as many meals I'd give it 4 stars, 5 without all that mayo.

6/2026 we received our first ever pork chop order from Amana Meat & Smokehouse. We have been long…read moretime customers and have NEVER been disappointed with any order or item. We have lived in SoCal, Connecticut, Michigan and now W. Texas and Amana has shipped 2 day shipping w/ice paks to all our addresses and never a spoiled item to date. Now, I'm honest and fair with ALL my reviews so I will say the 2 day shipping is on the higher side, around $32.00+- for our cross country shipping. Your $hipping may be less, may be more, it just depends on your .delivery location. We have not visited their retail shop simply because we haven't lived in their area. Our pork chops arrived individually wrapped and with Amana's own Horseradish sauce. This evening we had pork chops for dinner and I must say the BEST flavored pork chops ever! Each pork chop is bone in and about 3/4" thick. I highly recommend Amana Meat Shop & Smokehouse. BTW, our favorite are the breaded pork tenderloins.

We were 2 couples. Early Saturday afternoon we made reservations for 6:30pm. We arrived about…read more6:20pm and we were seated right away in one of their booths. The decor is pretty low rate. The whole restaurant desperately needs an update. The restrooms are only for one person at a time. This causes some major lines. But the service and food quality makes up for all of those issues. Our server was on the ball and came around frequently. We all ordered the prime rib. This is the ONLY place I will order prime rib. Everywhere else it's been flavorless, pure fat or tough. It's been none of that here. The salad is nothing special, just iceberg lettuce, a little cheese and a few Fritos. But it was pretty good, anyway. The blue cheese dressing was excellent, with some nice chunks of cheese. The baked potato was very good, nice & fluffy. It was done all the way through. So many time they're hard in the middle, but not these! We've been here several times before and we'll be back again!

This sandwich shop and coffee bar has a fun industrial and vintage charm, and plenty of seating throughout the location. The location was also well lit and airy, and I loved the exposed brick walls and fun eclectic frames along the walls. The service was also excellent and the girls who worked here were so sweet and helpful! My boyfriend and I both got the reuben and our friend got a chicken wrap. Both of them said they enjoyed their meals, and I thought my reuben was excellent and much preferred to typical road trip fast food stops. It was genuinely the perfect stop midway from Nebraska to Chicago, and a nice opportunity to stretch our legs and have a refreshing and filling meal. I would definitely recommend to try Big Bill's!

A pretty filling thing stuffed with lots of it. There also was cucumbers and spinach. For sure it's a great place at breakfast. It's got a lot more options at lunch. They're closed Tuesdays.

I had the spicy chicken sandwich and it exceeded my expectations - the brand on the bun is a nice touch as well.
