Best Sandwich in Town! Found this place on Yelp and I'm so…read moreglad I decided to stop in. Only one person ahead of me, and while all the tables were full, it didn't matter since my order was to-go. I went with a roast beef on wheat with everything except jalapeños, plus chips and a bottled water. I was a little worried it might take a while since there were people still waiting for their food at the tables--but that wasn't the case. My order came out surprisingly fast. And wow... this has to be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The wheat roll was soft, the roast beef portion was generous, and the flavor was spot-on. All the fixings--lettuce, tomato, red onion, wax peppers, pickles, mustard, mayo, vinegar, and oil--came together perfectly.

I asked what the portions and prices were and he seemed surprised I asked. I get what they're trying to do, to offer legit Italian meat, pasta, sweets etc. However Merced lacks the clientele to support this niche business. I appreciate the legit mortadella and prosciutto, it's been a year since we were in Italy. They need to make heftier sandwiches loaded with actual substance if they're gonna charge that much. Include a drink too. Lastly, I had no idea this place existed. My brother mentioned it to me and we checked it out. Need more advertising and food selection to match pricing.

I decided to give them another chance today, and unfortunately it was more of the same. The order arrived about an hour late. This wasn't an issue with the delivery driver. The order didn't even leave the restaurant until after it was already supposed to have arrived. Then I opened my sandwich and found several of the ingredients I'd ordered and paid extra for were missing. After the additions and fees, the sandwich itself was nearly $20, and it was mostly bread. The bread was good, but if I wanted bread with a few vegetables on it, I wouldn't have paid $20 for a sandwich. I'd be more understanding if this were a one time mistake, but I've had the same issue with this location before. It's especially frustrating when you're being charged extra for ingredients that aren't even included. Between the significant delay and repeatedly receiving incomplete orders, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect better for a nearly $20 sandwich.
Food was amazing and customer service was very professional. Nice and clean inside!!

When I arrived, there was a group of people waiting around for their food. After ordering my food, I waited an HOUR. That is an hour standing on concrete in the sun, with no idea when I would finally get to eat. Everyone was getting frustrated waiting, but they continued to take new orders and didn't offer any explanation to anyone about what was taking so long. My entire family ordered food from other food trucks and finished eating before I ever got my food. When I FINALLY got my food, I was even more frustrated with what I was served. The tri-tip sandwich consisted of 4 slices of cold, dry, hardly seasoned tri-tip on 2 plain buns. And some potato salad that tasted like store-bought Reeser's. Not worth the money and definitely the hour long wait in the sun.

So I had to check it out , I was really hoping they had hot links but sadly they didn't. So I tried their tri tip sandwich which was ok and their BBQ sauce was good but nothing special. Overall it was ok , I will try another food item soon hopefully it will be Great . Would be nice if they had hot links or hotdogs for the kids . Maybe 2 meat or three meat plates would be nice , Chicken, hot links , tri tip , ect with a side and bag of chips or soda ect . Looking forward to seeing this BBQ truck grow overtime.

This was my second time at Jantz, and if you are a fan of all things breakfast and brunch in the 209, this place is solid. The cafe makes delicious coffee/lattes, lots of seasonal options which were cool to see. The prices match the portion size, and honestly most meals I've gotten could've been two small meals within one. On my last visit, I got the 3-meat omelette and there was no shortage of meat. All the protein I could ever want, and tasty too. The only thing I didn't like was their breakfast potatoes. Not much flavor and needs to be crispier to me. If you are looking for something sweet, the cinnamon roll is a great choice. Overall, great for breakfast and for small and large groups. The service is always kind and friendly. Definitely a family-run spot that's worth checking out if you are in the area.

I ordered a combo pizza along with chicken wings. I'm a pizza snob. Did I mention I love me some pizza? So first impressions of the pizza? Well there was over two inches of empty pizza crust. Total turn off. What a waste of space. I buy pizza for the toppings not for plain pizza crust. Let alone flavorless pizza crust. When I buy a pizza, I expect the pizza to have maybe an inch of pizza crust and the rest full of my favorite toppings. As for the flavor of the pizza, it was just ok. Now let's talk about the wings. Really not much to talk about. I ordered six wings and received four full wings and then two small maybe they were broken in half wings? I don't know. I just know they were not full wings. It seems as if I am bashing the place. I am really not. I was hoping to find new spot for my pizza fix. Unfortunately this is not the place for me. In the end, this was a one and done.
