    Turkey, pepper jack, add avocado
    Michelle W.

    All around bad experience. The woman who took our order was sick and spoke very quietly so she was difficult to understand. There was a man making the sandwiches so I hoped my order would be safe. She ended up helping with the sandwiches but wore gloves so I felt better. Chip options were very minimal and they had no other sides. Not sure if the tables were stained or dirty. Excited to get our sandwiches as the reviews are really good. Sandwiches were loaded with meat but the meat was VERY cheap. Ended up removing half the meat as is did not taste good. The bead was good but soggy. Loved the avocado I added but that's about the only thing I did like. I do not recommend this place as there are much better sandwich places with 2 miles that use quality meats.

    Kind of a weird place. The cashier was the first problem, not saying hello or explaining the menu to a first timer. The rest of the decor in the place is quite dated. But, as for the food, the small sandwich was huge, but something just didn't taste right. It looked like fresh meat, but there was way too much and it didn't taste that great. Whoever was making the sandwich still thinks it's 2020 in full covid gear. Must be a locals only place, not for me.

    Was out visiting in Apache Junction and came across The Meat Slicer. Just from looking at photos and reading about it, I had to try and I was not disappointed. This massive mammoth of a sandwich came loaded up with Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef, Pastrami, Cheddar, Swiss, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mayo and Mustard (*catching my breath). Slapped it in between some French Bread and unhinged the jaw for this epic mess of deliciousness. Not that you can't whip these up at home, Meat Slicer puts the deli touch in it. If you're ever in the town of AJ, give 'em a go. Cheers.

    Great sandwich! You can tell the meat (and all ingredients really) is top quality. But, I had to take off one star because of one factor. Now, I don't know if it is because I'm from California, or that I have a pre-existing condition that makes me super cautious during this pandemic, but it was super jarring to see my food get made by someone not wearing a mask. At first, I was trying to accept it...the fact that the young lady who took our order was not wearing a mask was not too bad because the guy in the kitchen had did have one on, and I thought: "that's what matters, right?" But, then, the young lady ended up helping him make our food. And she had her hair down as well, which matters just as much to me because loose hair is super gross to me. We still ate our food and it seemed to be well made and clean. But, 'twas an interesting experience for sure. It's like my boyfriend says, there are many kitchens that prepare our food we don't even get a chance to see, so what are you gonna do?!

    Turkey, bacon, avocado large sub
    Rhiannon H.

    found this place on Yelp, decided to give it a try. Came up as "most reviewed" for Apache Junction. A one man show, the service was kind and quick. I ordered the Turkey, Bacon, Avocado large sub. I could finish 1/2 of it & took the rest to go. The sandwiches are stacked tall, no matter how big your face is, it will be a struggle to fit the height of the sandwich in your mouth. The bacon was crisp and tasty. Avocado fresh. The bread was soft & did not fall apart. Good price for the portion size. Large subs come with a small bag of chips. Inside is extremely casual, not very busy and not many seating options. There is a small fee for credit transactions.

    Order counter and table.

    We ordered three sandwiches for work. The sandwiches are huge. They could've easily fed six people.

It must be the same interior designer because even though the restaurants are so different, they have a similar feel, and I like it! The enormous wine bottle light fixtures are pretty cool. We ordered the Saganaki to start, which is delish. I love the flavor of the lemon they use to put out the fire. Can you ever go wrong with delicious melted cheese? Hubby ordered rigatoni with Bolognese and steak meatballs. I didn't taste it, but he really liked it. My son ordered Caccio e Pepe pappardelle. I tasted it and it was very yummy. I had the meatball ferris wheel which is literally a little ferris wheel with little bowls with a different kind of meatball in each. The Ferris wheel ended up just making it harder to eat, but I do think the novelty of it is cute. That said, I was super disappointed. I liked the steak meatball pretty well and the arabbiata was yummy, but the rest were mediocre for me. I love meatballs but, honestly, I've had meatballs that I like better elsewhere. My bread was also over-toasted, making it kind of like a hard crumbly rock. Our server was very nice and quite friendly, but both my husband and I noticed that she actually boxed the food at the two tables near us for those people, but for us, just just dropped off boxes and a bag at our table and left us to do it ourselves. I don't mind doing it myself, but what made us different from the other tables? All in all it was good. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked and sooo good and the Saganaki was also delish. The meatballs, not so much for me.

    Carrabba's absolutely saved our daughter's 8th birthday today!…read moreAfter driving an hour to another restaurant only to be turned away, we arrived at Carrabba's with a very disappointed little girl. From the moment we walked in, the staff was kind, welcoming, and made us feel like they genuinely cared. Our daughter finally got her "fancy pasta," and the food was delicious. More importantly, they turned what started as a heartbreaking birthday into a special memory. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly, and they treated us with such kindness. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond. You truly saved the day, and we'll definitely be back!

We probably needed more drinks because nearly all our food was extremely salty. The calamari appetizer was salty and it overwhelmed any other flavor. Our main dishes came out just after the appetizer was put on the table. The waitress apologized but still put the food down so we felt rushed. The lentil and sausage soup had only two pieces of sausage in it and wasn't very good. The chicken parm was the only thing that was edible. The pasta that came on the chicken parm had a very strange flavor in the sauce and I couldn't stand more than one bite. The atmosphere was nice. They could have chosen better music, but that's a personal thing I guess. The restaurant was clean. All and all I told my wife we should have gone to Olive Garden or Sal's Gilbert Pizza. At least we would have had better food and saved some $'s.
