I get it people want to learn the MIKES WAYS or others like me who have longed for great subs near to home or work. I ordered the #2 Jersey Shore Favorite, regular size. I when I got to work open the wrapper and notice there are 3 slices of provolone, 3 slices of cappacuolo and 3 slices of ham. The mikes way filled the rest of the bread. Basically it was a "Mikes Way" salad sandwich. I do not believe the proper proportions of deli meats were followed. To be fair, I should have seen this coming. I watched the slicer prep 2 ham and cheese sandwich's for a kids meal. 1 slice of ham 1 slice of cheese. Now the bread is great, but it's not what we are coming for. Like I said I hope it's because it's new staff learning the process and I will try again. There are several Jersey Mikes we will not go to based on bad experiences and then we have our favorite locations as well. Let's hope for a better experience!!

Over the last 15 years or more I've been to this establishment maybe 4-5 times; each time I go, I…read moreremember why it's been years since my last visit and I tell myself it wasn't worth it to return when there are so many other options available. This place is incredibly expensive for what you get with regard to the food and the service (or essentially lack thereof). At this time, full simple sandwiches are $12-14 with no sides included (think typical ham and turkey with cheese, tomato, and lettuce with mayo on it that you can make at home), and soups are nearly $8 for a cup and $9 for a bowl. The sandwiches (and "Mexican" fare) have fresh ingredients, but are very mediocre and bland tasting given their simplicity--not remotely worth that price. The high pricing isn't to cover wait staff/cleaning staff or maintaining the facility itself. Orders are taken at the counter and you await to hear your name called to get your food yourself, then rid of all your waste yourself before leaving. The entire dining room was dirty with crumbs on all tables, chairs, and the floor. The trash was full, and the bathroom toilet and urinal both had unflushed waste in them. The place was not busy as it was later afternoon; there were plenty of staff available to keep an eye on the dining room to ensure, at the very least, that the tables and chairs were clean and the trash wasn't full. The building itself is old with a lot(!) of unfinished and inaccessible areas, basic/old tables with cheap "decor". So for over $52 today my spouse and I had two very basic sandwiches, two bowls of semi-warm soup, and two large drinks in a dirty basic dining room after ordering and retrieving the food ourselves. With that price, you'd think the place would be minutely updated and certainly should be cleaner, there would be wait staff, and the food would have much more flavor with much more to it. There are several other places in Monticello to get great tasting food with included sides, cleaner facilities and wait staff, all for less than the price of a basic sandwich that you get here. I love to support small businesses and the staff were certainly friendly so I feel a bit guilty for this review, but this needs to be said about this incredibly overhyped place. This time I won't forget why I infrequent this establishment and won't be back.

First off, there is a bit of a wait for your order, but trust me, it's worth it. We were there at a prime Saturday lunch hour and the wait was a bit long but I have to tell you, these are REAL 'sandwich artists' that work for this great little place, and they take great care with your order. Plenty of sides to choose from, drinks and homemade pie for dessert, too! I do not order Tuna Salad out bcz I'm always disappointed but I took a chance here at the BBD, and wow did I enjoy my meal. White bread, Tuna Salad, onion and pickle...SO DELICIOUS!!! I was very full after eating the sandwich too. Hubs had the Dagwood Special and totally enjoyed it.

I love seeing their specialty items in their grocery section as well. They clearly pick those items with a lot of thought!

Had an online order and went to where it says online order to stand and wait while they had two employees standing over in the "bread area" laughing with each other while the place is packed and obviously the other coworkers are busting their pick to get orders out. Waited a while to get my order too. What's the point of offering online ordering if you can't get it out, especially when it's a timed pickup for a later time??? The sandwich wasn't the same either. Barely any meat on it for $17 with tax and just not worth it with all the other options available. Was a huge fan of this place, but to no surprise lack of management derailed this place to me not wanting to return. Suggestion, cross training is a very important part of any successful restaurant. So instead of the "deadweight" at the bread station, make those two actually help the team instead of standing there laughing while your ship is going down in flames...... Just a thought.

Split an eggplant parm sandwich with my vegetarian daughter, and it was still too much for us to eat. Tasty and not greasy. We also tried the porchetta, also top notch and easily enough for two. Broccoli pasta salad (more broccoli than pasta) was a surprise sleeper hit. We really enjoyed the cannoli for dessert. Do note it's not super sweet. That's our preference, but could see how others might want more sugar. Good selection of gelato. The peanut gelato was more peanutty than peanut butter. Gelato has a great texture. If I lived in UC, would be here multiple times a month. It's a better Italian deli than we have in Washington, DC.

I think I was pregnant and demolished two sandwiches: porketta and the other escapes me. If they offered a dessert, I probably got that too and enjoyed it. I recall great service and food. Located at Lincoln Square, the nonprofit I managed had a gig for another organization. Nothing to do with the food, but communicating an appropriate place for us to set up and perform was difficult. In the current location, my friend and I ordered pizzas for lunch. We probably could've shared one and split a salad. It was generous. We asked for take home boxes and were provided a box of foil. We wrapped up our pizza slices and the lady who took our order marched over and demanded the foil back. When she saw we had pizza she said she should've given us boxes. Maybe I'll give it a try again in the future and it won't be weird.

I actually think some of the items here are pretty good, but comparatively speaking, I've certainly had much better. Firehouse is definitely different than what you normally find in Danville. It takes a step away from the Midwestern fare and takes me a bit closer to my personal comfort spot, Southern cooking. When I see fried catfish on the menu, my eyes make a beeline to it. This food can satisfy my cravings until I get home, but would never replace it fully. First time I visited, I got their fried catfish and shrimp combo with fries. Firehouse definitely gets an A+ on their seasoning, they season everything up heavily and more! The catfish was definitely overdone and wasn't flakey. The shrimp was pretty subpar in my opinion, really rubbery and not very fun to eat. It was just greasy and messy to eat. The french fries here are superb though. I came back and was in the mood for their gyro. They really loaded that sandwich up, I would say they made it too big for its own good. Don't get me wrong, I love extra food, but the extra food caused the sandwich to collapse on itself. I ended up eating the items individually, rather than all together. And I am aware that this is not a specialty Arabic/Greek restaurant, but the quality of the gyro meat was just fine, nothing too crazy. I really want to like this place more than I have so far. The employees here are super nice and the menu is just so appealing and is a nice change in pace to the diner style menus. Having that variety instantly makes it a place worthy of a revisit in my eyes!

Currently located across from the courthouse, this business is quickly outgrowing its shared space…read moreand is looking for a larger spot to host its customers. Though it gets its name from the liquid nitrogen used to quickly make your ice cream, the menu has a variety of salads, sandwiches, and even sushi! So, after driving around western Indiana all morning, I was intrigued by the unique name and was pleasantly surprised that they had so much variety of food items beyond the ice cream. I placed an order at the counter for a Chicken Caesar Wrap (which comes with your pick of chips). The staff quickly went to work on assembling my lunch and brought it out to my table (there are very few tables. All are round 2 tops.) Although the wrap description mentions the chicken (cubed), greens, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing, there was a lot of flavor especially from the dressing/sauce. Very tasty!! I also had to try one of their ice cream dishes. They have a huge variety of flavors available so I was a bit indecisive. I asked what was most popular and was told the Turtle. So, that's what I ordered. Before long, I saw them making the ice cream with the liquid nitrogen right then. They then topped it with chocolate fudge, caramel, and pecans. Another Yum! The only thing negative was that the fudge and caramel were cold and stayed somewhat clumped instead of melting over the ice cream. But the flavors were great. The staff, including Trudy who runs the place, were very friendly and were sharing information about points of interest in the area (which I took them up on). The service brings the food to your table if you are dining-in and only charge you when you are finished. I did pay at the counter instead of waiting for a bill to be brought to my table. Parking is convenient on both sides of the street (free and angled in). The elevated entrance does have ramps at the half blocks for those challenged by steps. Good food, good people, and an overall good experience for a nice price. Review #947
