So picked a drink out of one of the fridges and went to pay. They stamped my ticket -_"PAID". When my number was called I hit my sandwich. I was not sure if they needed my paid ticket back, but I left it in the counter. Would have liked a side, but I did not figure out that part. Rhino Club is very good. Very tasty. Not messy, as clubs can be sometimes. Limited indoor seating--6 tables and a small bar. A few more outside on the covered patio. Lots of take out business. Good stop for a sandwich on the way to the airport

Deli chicken torta style sandwich, yummy protein filled, surprisingly light on salt so a dash of hot sauce is welcomed

While it looks quiet from the outside, inside you will find a lot of hustle and bustle as hungry patrons line up to get their breakfast sandwiches, or their lunch depending on the time of day! The place is part neighborhood market, selling beer and wine along with snacks, and part deli serving made to order sandwiches, and salads, along with prepackaged sides and fixings like chicken or egg salad. I finally got a chance to come in around lunch time and was very exciting to dive into my turkey sandwich which came with bacon pepper Jack and a chipotle spread. It was delicious, just a perfect sandwich for lunch. Nothing fancy or over the top, and it was priced very reasonably which is hard to find these days. This place is a gem.

The meat was almost all one side and same with the sauerkraut, but on opposite sides so I just ended up putting everything on one side since there wasn't enough meat as expected. Staff was fine, it's a food hall so I didn't expect anything more than they offered! Love the setting, I ended up wanting more food somewhere else. My potato salad was borderline crunchy, with undercooked potatoes and not much flavor. I couldn't WAIT to try the pickles but they were so mushy and sad. My boyfriend enjoyed his BLT and they were very generous with the bacon! Probably wouldn't return because there are so many other options here, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it. If I come again I'd ask about if maybe I ordered wrong and if there's something more similar to the pictures online.

Well, look no further as Rhino Market will give you plenty of options to start the day off right. We stopped here around lunchtime on a Saturday to grab some breakfast food. As it was already later in the day, I ended up opting for a lunch sandwich instead. The window to order is placed towards the rear of the store. The menu has plenty of breakfast and lunch options. After ordered, you go back to the front counter to pay. It's pretty tough not to grab a snack or two on your way to checkout. They also have some fresh brewed coffee which I tried, and it got me fired up for the morning. I ordered the Chicken Torta and it came out after about 5 minutes. The sandwich was presented perfectly, a beautiful picture of green balanced with some fresh deli meat. First bite, and I instantly fell in love with my lunch sandwich. You won't go wrong with a chicken torta, or any torta for that matter. There's plenty of seating in the deli, at the bar, outside in the common area, or outside in the yard. All spots you may choose to eat have wonderful vibes, especially in you sit inside the restaurant since they had a musician playing live music. All in all, I'm very glad I tried out this place as I can see it entering my rotation of quick eats around the city.

I am absolutely blown away by the amazing service I received at McAlister's! Inkar and Alia are truly the BEST employees ever! From the moment I arrived, they made me feel so welcome with their kindness, warm smiles, and incredibly friendly attitudes. I have honestly never experienced such outstanding customer service before! They were so sweet, attentive, professional, and incredibly fast. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and love what they do. I was seriously impressed! They went above and beyond to make my visit special, and I left with the biggest smile on my face. McAlister's is so lucky to have such wonderful employees! Inkar and Alia deserve all the recognition in the world! They are the reason I will definitely be coming back. Thank you both for such an unforgettable experience! 10/10 customer service! Highly recommend! read more

I was on foot with my car being serviced nearby so this ended up a positive choice. Arby's has an app like the other fast food chains. Busy at lunchtime today, I was able to find a seat at the hightop table facing the counter area. After connecting to their wifi, I installed the Arby's app and made an order. Super easy and it wasn't more than five minutes later, my name was called. Roast beef sandwich was tasty, cooked the way Arby's does - medium well and sliced very thin. The condiments area had Arby's Sauce and Horsey Sauce (a creamy horseradish). That went really well with the beef. Instead of fries, I chose the mac & cheese balls. These were hot and delicious. Bummer there's only four in there because I could pop these all day. The restaurant was busy but clean. The same guy taking orders was also out in the dining area spraying and wiping down tables when he didn't have customers at the register. Other people were happy - no one was returning to the counter to correct their orders. A very good experience for sure. [Review 2390 of 2024 - 3851 in North Carolina - 23404 overall]
