Many of the items on its menu can be found inside Jasper's. But I feel it's a bit cheaper & quicker to get. There a variety of food items, several of which I've had. Several are my favorites. The pizza is sold by the slice & is tasty with a great crust. The spaghetti comes with your choice of saugage, or a big meatball, or meat sause. The flavors are spot on & the spaghetti is cooked well. My favorite sandwich is the Fat Marco Polo. Made with Italian meats salami, mortadella, capicola with provolone cheese and lots of garlic butter. I love most everything I've had. Good place to grab some Italian food that's legit.

I found myself nearby at lunchtime once again, so I stopped in. Only 1 other customer when I arrived at 11:45am on a Thursday, with one phone customer and 8 walk-ins while I waited for my "KC Fried Burger" (~$10; I asked what was best. The answer was "all of it"). After a less than 10 minute wait (Motown music playing overhead), the burger was ready. Tasty and crunchy, even if the burger was a bit over-cooked. Overall, a positive experience, and I'll be back to try a few other menu options at some point.

Our son discovered Jovitos first and my husband has been coming here with friends. Today was my 1st visit and it's been a while since I've had a grinder and it didn't disappoint. What an eclectic place. The lovely lady at the counter took care of us and brought our meal to the back patio so we could our meal in the sunshine. We split the grinder and pasta salad. She was kind enough to bring us plates so we didn't have to share our if the basket and two bags of chips. The grinder was good, but the pasta salad was a bit different from past visits. It was too creamy for our liking. You definitely need to leave room for all the dessert options. We were planning on ice cream later, but I had to get the cookies from my childhood. What a treat.

I feel like this Firehouse Subs never knows what's going on, I come here often, usually with my mom…read morebecause it's the closest location near us both. We usually use the in app deals and the employees always seem confused or the orders always seem backed up. However, I do really enjoy the subs and how they reimplemented the hot sauce bar that disappeared shortly during the Pandemic. The hot sauces pay homage to the fire fighters who started the buisness so, in my opinion, they are vital. The last time I stopped in it was to get my free birthday sub (a nice perk if you join the reward program) but, the sub I wanted- the newest featured sub on the menu- wasn't available online so, I ended up ordering my moms sub with my coupon and just paying for mine. We somehow ended up with another sub, so three in total when we ordered two, no biggie but, it just illustrates the confusion of the staff working. I mean hey, we weren't going to complain. My mom's favorite sub is the hook and ladder, it has turkey and ham. It seems to be the most popular sub here. We both always have to visit around thanksgiving and get the thanksgiving sub with stuffing and cranberry sauce on it. It really is one of the best out there (and nowadays every sub place seems to have one around November). My go to is the Jamaican Jerk Turkey sub, which isn't too spicy but has a little bit extra oomph than just a regular turkey sub. I also enjoy the club on a sub which adds bacon to the turkey and ham. The problem is when you order on the app it seems they prioritize your order last and since all the deals are on the app but we like to sit down and eat inside we end up waiting quite long for our sandwiches.

However, I will not be revisiting this location at any time in the future, knowing that the struggles to find competent, efficient, and frankly sane staffers has led to not only being addressed disrespectfully, but in two recent instances, not even acknowledged while standing at the counter, waiting to place an order. Beyond unacceptable, and while I would hate to see this location close, it may be an inevitability if the struggles to find staffers continue.

I absolutely love Charlie D's, especially the locations at 5111 Ararat Dr. and off 40 Highway in…read moreKansas City. The food and service at those spots have always been enjoyable for me. However, I do have some serious concerns about the location at 600 E. 99th St. After giving that location three separate chances, I can honestly say the food quality has been consistently disappointing. At this point, management either needs to improve staffing, especially in the kitchen, or seriously reevaluate operations there. In regards to the sweet potatoes and carrot cake at all locations, I've noticed issues that raise concerns about food quality and consistency. If a sweet potato is rotten, it should never be served, and the same goes for any questionable ingredients used in desserts like the carrot cake that I assume is contracted out. Basic food safety should always be followed across every location, with no exceptions, especially in our community. I also want to mention my thoughts on the greens. Not everyone eats pork, so it would be great to either prepare the greens without meat or offer an alternative option, such as smoked turkey. This is extremely important for those of us who don't eat pork. I understand that all restaruant have their way of doing things, but this is the observation that's preventing me from purchasing. If these issues were corrected, I would gladly give Charlie D's five stars because I truly enjoy the restaurant overall. Hopefully, management takes these concerns seriously and makes the necessary improvements. With those improvements, I will continue to spread the word and patronize. My review is all out of love for my community, not trying to tear you down, but uplift you with honesty. LyriCáh
