But this willpower went out the window with the sandwich I got from Mancino's. I literally did not want to stop eating it. Every bite was delicious and satisfying. The sandwiches are huge, and although I was uncomfortably full halfway through, still I pressed on because I needed that grinder in my mouth (pause). I think what makes Mancino's sandwiches so good is that they are all toasted. I think you can ask for your sandwich not toasted, but why would you? The cheese gets all melty, the bread is slightly crisp but still soft in the middle, and the whole thing is just warm and delightful. I got the BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomato), which you'd think wouldn't benefit from being toasted, but you'd be wrong! This BLT sandwich also has a mozzarella cheese blend in it, which sounds super weird for a BLT, but just go with it. I suppose you could ask for a different cheese, or no cheese at all, but you should just trust that the fine people at Mancino's know what they're doing. After all, they've been doing what they're doing since the 1930s! (According to information that I gleaned from their website. Look at me using my journalism degree.) I was able to order ahead on the phone, and they told me it would take about 15 minutes, which was perfect. When I showed up, my sandwiches were hot and ready for me. And bonus: The people who work here are incredibly friendly and efficient.

I stopped in recently and was blown away by how consistently great everything was. From the second you walk in, you can tell they take their sandwiches seriously. The bread was perfectly fresh--crusty on the outside but soft enough to actually eat without a struggle--and the meat-to-topping ratio was spot on. I've tried a few different things on the menu now, and whether it's a classic cold cut or one of their hot specialties, the flavors are always incredibly well-balanced. The staff is also super efficient and friendly, which makes a huge difference when you're trying to grab a quick, high-quality lunch. It's rare to find a place where every single component of the meal feels like it was handled with care, but this place nails it. Bottom line: If you want a sandwich that actually leaves you full and satisfied, go here. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu!

I ordered a Fruit Tart ($6) , an Oreo Creme Brownie ($5), and a Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($2). The Fruit Tart was my least favorite of the items I got it was ok I'd have preferred an Egg Tart, but that wasn't an option. The brownie was excellent. Very decedent and was great with some Ice Cream at home. The Cookie was an excellent cookie and a good choice. All of the items were a little pricey, but not extraordinarily so. The service was good, friendly and efficient. Overall a solid 4 star review for the bakery. Would I return? If I was in the area then Absolutely. Considering I found Charlotte to be a very charming and beautiful town, I'm sure I will be back.

Seating options include, high and low tops and partial booths. The restaurant offers an open concept and decor is simple with a slight industrial flair. We have visited for both breakfast and dinner and were greeted warmly each time upon entering. On a whim we tried them for breakfast and our breakfast experience was very nice. We selected the loaded biscuits and gravy and the classic French toast both were delicious, full of flavor and nice portions that offered a bit of leftovers. (none of this is pictured) Our dinner experience was planned based on a specialty menu offered for a holiday that grabbed our attention. We made reservations and planned to try several things from the menu. We figured that since this was the only menu offered that evening that special care and attention were being given to each dish. We started with two appetizers: brussel salad, their version of bruschetta, and a couple of cocktails. All were decent and tasty but not necessarily "special". We decided on entrees of the flat iron steak and blue crab pasta. The cut of steak was very nice quality and cooked to perfection. But that is where the experience ended. The accompaniments of mashed potatoes and fresh green beans were lack luster, the beans definitely fresh but not seasoned nor were the potatoes, the only flavor on the plate came from the demi reduction. The pasta was very disappointing, the lump crab linguine ended up being canned meat atop of noodles. My dining companion was very put off by the dish but at $30 for the plate, they thought they should at least try it. Needless to say, we didn't finish either meal and asked for a take away box as to not leave two half eaten meals on the table. We will definitely keep Arms and Embers in mind for breakfast and good service but will steer clear of partaking of other meals.

First -- they were very accommodating with the special order. The staff had no issue modifying the sandwich, which is always appreciated when you're looking for vegetarian options at a classic deli. The sandwich came out fresh with crisp lettuce, tomato, and nicely toasted bread. Simple, but done right. The fries were hot and well-seasoned -- good texture and portion size. Coke was cold and served quickly. Service overall was fast and friendly, and the place was clean with that traditional neighborhood deli feel. Looking at the menu, there are quite a few items that can be customized, which makes this a solid stop even if you don't eat meat. Bottom line: quick service, flexible kitchen, and dependable comfort food. I'd come back, especially for an easy casual lunch.
