    Onion rings
    Carey L.

    I live pretty close to the University Village and was curious about this restaurant that had popped up on Doordash out of nowhere - it seemed to have some pretty amazing on the stuff on the menu (who doesn't love a good patty melt?) I ordered the Hot Mess, Treatin Myself, some onion rings and a drink and pulled up to where Google Maps took me. Y'all, this is located inside a Denny's. Specifically a dark kitchen that resides within the Denny's. Granted, they do disclose that on the page, so kudos for the transparency! As for the food itself, it's definitely a cut above what I would expect to receive at a Denny's restaurant, especially for takeout. The Hot Mess was anything but, actually. Bread was toasted well, flavorful, not soggy, and the ingredients held together well for the entirety of the meal. The onion rings were alright. I definitely would've enjoyed them more with a bit of seasoning. The Treatin Myself sandwich, though? My goodness. That sandwich made me feel good things. 2 pound cake slices with cheesecake filling and strawberries? Decadent, light, fluffy, flavorful. Absolutely scrumptious, I wanted another right after finishing it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about dark kitchens, but this one's food is pretty solid. I would not be opposed to ordering again just on the merit of the food from this visit, but your mileage may vary.

    This is only half of a sandwich, to big to finish it.

    Frozen 1/4 inch thick burgers. Almost no cheese whatsoever and we ordered a patty melt. Can't say I can recommend it.

    Overpriced for what you get. It would be cheaper to buy your own ingredients and make it yourself.

    5 stars for always being consistent and delicious. I mainly visit on Saturdays for lunch and it…read morecan be busy but the staff is pretty efficient and gets orders out quick. Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

    Passing through town and decided to pit stop here. Their bakery items are really good. I got the…read morecinnamon roll and would recommend. The sticky carmalized bottom and delicious frosting on top was delicious. I also wanted to try their chicken apple sausage and ordered a side. It was decent, I think the baked good was much better though and I'd probably come back to try more pastries and baked goods in the future personally. This is a casual place so you order at the front of the restaurant and then pay in the back. Prices are very reasonable all around across the menu. Plenty of tables but can get busy! Worth checking out if you're in the downtown area.

    This was my first time visiting D'Elias, which is actually a childhood favorite of my wife's. I…read morelove a good sandwich shop, so I was excited to try it. The first small disappointment was finding out they don't offer mushrooms. As a big mushroom fan, especially on a hot sandwich, that was a bit of a letdown -- but not a deal breaker. I ordered the D'Loaded Cheese Steak, which honestly would've been perfect with mushrooms. When I opened it up, it looked absolutely delicious. The flavor definitely delivered -- I won't deny that at all. It was very tasty. My main issue was the texture and structure of the sandwich. It came out extremely hot and very wet. The bottom of the bread was completely soaked, which made it difficult to pick up without it falling apart. I just wish the bread had held up better so I could've enjoyed it without the mess. Overall, the flavor was great, but I hope they can improve the sandwich structure a bit. I'd be willing to give it another try.

    First time here. Placed look clean. Asked if they had combos, was told they do not everything is…read moreseparate. Ordered 2 half sandwiches 2 sides and 2 med. drinks. $48 dollars. Good lawd! (Was lobster on these sandwiches) Pros - Food was good. Fresh ingredients Potato salad was very good. Place was clean. Employees were friendly. Cons - Too expensive for what we got. We could've went to a good full service sit down restaurant for much less (tip included). Will we be back? I'd like to say yes but not at these prices. Also the 40 min drive makes it not worth it. I understand good food is not cheap but I'll stick to closer/cheaper sandwiche shops near me (Green Shack/Saverinos)

They do a lot of business. It seems to go orders, but I chose to stay there and eat, I ordered the Italian sandwich chips and a soda price was really reasonable, but I found the sandwich locking. I've never seen a sandwich with so little meat in it if you wanted bread with lettuce and mayonnaise that was the sandwich for you while I was waiting for my food another customer came in and was asking questions and the gentleman at the counter and the girl making the sandwiches after he left. They were talking smack about him in front of another customer. As far as the ambience there wasn't any, there was no decor. The TV in the middle of the restaurant was so high that the guy was talking on the phone couldn't hear the customers in person or over the phone what they were saying. I was very disappointed in the food quality and customer service.
