I got the Cupid bread because it's close to Valentine's Day so they have hot pink bread. That made the experience more fun for sure! The sandwich was delicious and too big for me to eat. I had to save the other half for later, but I am not complaining! Great portions and great sandwiches. The bread was a little harder than I would've liked, but other than that, everything was good. I ordered it online and when I went to pick up my order, the place smelled amazingggggg. I would definitely go again.

If you're in Glendale and looking for a great sandwich, stop here. The second I walked in, I was greeted by a gentleman with a turquoise streak in his hair (I'm guessing owner or manager) and a friendly staff that made me feel welcome right away. I ordered the Gin Blossom and another sandwich that had pastrami, salami, another meat, fresh vegetables, and their psycho sauce on sourdough. I can't remember the name of that one, but I did get to sample the psycho sauce, and it was fantastic--bold, flavorful, and definitely something I'd recommend trying. As for the Gin Blossom, wow. Turkey, cranberry, vegetables, and sourdough--and somehow it tasted like Thanksgiving in the best possible way. The turkey had that savory, slightly salty flavor, and the cranberry balanced it out perfectly without being overly sweet. Every bite just worked. I ordered the half sandwich, and it was exactly the right amount of food for lunch. What really surprised me was how fast everything came out. The young folks making the sandwiches were hustling. I figured I'd have time to sit down, scroll through my phone, and relax for a bit, but I was barely settled before my order was ready. From the time I walked in to the time I walked out was maybe five minutes. Fast service without sacrificing quality is always a win. The atmosphere is cozy, quirky, and modern without trying too hard. It's clean, welcoming, and has that neighborhood sandwich shop feel that makes you want to come back. Between the friendly service, the delicious food, the speed of the staff, and the overall vibe of the place, this spot gets two thumbs up and five stars from me. If I'm ever back in Glendale, this is exactly where I'll be stopping for lunch.... read more

We sat down and looked at the menu, we were greeted by our waitress shortly after and got our drinks right away. We took a minute and she came back around and took our order. The wait for our food was maybe 20? minutes or so, even with big crowds of 6+ families already seated and eating before us. Food: The food was the kicker for me. I woke up craving a chicken fried steak and that is exactly what I got. Finished every bit of it and was so happy with it that i'm thinking about the next day! My partner got a 5 egg omelette and was very satisfied with it as well. The biggest and best part of the dishes though were the crispy potatoes!!! I would go back for the potatoes alone because of how great they were. This breakfast was exactly what I wanted. Ambiance: Everyone who worked there seemed so cohesive and friendly. Operating like a well oiled machine! I noticed during being seated that one of the chairs was wobbly and told our waitress and she fixed it right away. We also asked if there was a military discount at check out, which there was not but they do serve free breakfast on 9/11! I would recommend this to anyone who is craving a hearty, locally owned restaurant in north/west phoenix. I'm located centrally and the drive was only about 14ish minutes or so.

I ordered one of the big breakfast plates, and when it came out, I was like, damn, that's a lot of food! But it was really good and definitely worth the money. You're not leaving this place hungry. Next time, unless I'm starving, I'll probably go with one of the smaller breakfast plates. But for a good old-school breakfast, good portions, fair prices, and great service, you really can't beat it. Good little local find. Go check them out!
