This deli is in an old strip mall on the west side of Brooksville and can't be missed with the big blue awning outside. Plenty of parking and a few tables inside and outside; take out was extremely popular. Three of us ordered the Cuban and one of us got the Italian sub. Waiting for our orders, we grabbed cold drinks from the cooler and bags of chips. Hot and seasoned well, the Cuban did not disappoint! The bread was toasted perfectly while the cheese was melted enough that the pickles were still chilled. Decent sized sandwich and the pork was definitely cooked with love; it was the star in the Cuban. The Italian sub was equally good even though they were out of the one meat but quickly subbed with pepperoni. The gals in the deli were friendly, efficient and busy! Not only were they preparing our lunch, many to-go orders were being made in between. This definitely is a local favorite and now ours when we pass thru again.

When we entered, we were greeted by beautiful clothing, jewelry, knickknacks, and very friendly people. The gift shop was to our left, and where we were seated was to the right, they had beautiful China decorations. They had a wide variety of things to select from and daily specials, along with a kids menu. I was very pleased with my meal and the Swiss and potato soup was out of this world. A couple of ladies coming out recommended it they said they had it and it was excellent and we wouldn't be sorry if we ordered it. And we both ordered it and we were definitely extremely happy with it. Everything is homemade, made from scratch. Whoever the cook is crafted beautiful food presentation. The café is spotless even all the China and beautiful glassware didn't have an ounce of dust anywhere so they take very good care of their product and their restaurant. After lunch, we had dessert and then we went into the gift shop area. The gift shop seemed to go on forever! They had children's clothes, children's books, stuffed animals, gorgeous shoes for adults, dresses, shirts, outfits, jewelry, flowers, fresh cut flowers, cakes and so much more! Plenty of free parking for cafe patrons. Handicap parking, easy access and the bathroom was clean. Our lunch was very reasonable. But the gift shop items were very expensive. $31.00 for a coffee mug?! Baby outfits for $40.00? I admit, the clothes were very beautiful, made from better quality materials. Maybe that's why they were expensive. The gorgeous shoes were very reasonable. The cashier suggested we come back around Christmas time because it's always phenomenal. Will we go back? YES! Mallies is definitely a hip place women enjoy going to. If you'd haven't been to Mallies yet, I would definitely put it on your, "must try" list.

This food truck is run by the sweetest husband-and-wife team, and their warmth alone makes you want to support them -- but the FOOD seals the deal. I mentioned I'd never had oxtail before, and the husband had his wife give me a sample. Holy smokes. One bite and I was sold. Ended up ordering the oxtail meal with rice, collard greens with ham, and black-eyed peas. Every single thing was absolutely delicious. And the sweet potato cornbread? Unreal. Moist, flavorful, and honestly one of the best pieces of cornbread I've ever had. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. I HIGHLY recommend stopping by and giving this food truck a try. They're kind, hardworking, and serving up truly amazing soul food. Don't miss them!

The meat is over cooked, dry and tough, can not even eat. The collard greens are decent, the Mac and cheese is basic. The chocolate cake is a light Bundt cake that's good! Not worth it, the potato salad would be the only reason I would return. Pretty disappointed across the board
