Mr. Sandwich is located in the shambles in York. The sandwich selection isn't amazing by my…read morestandards, however the selling point to Mr. Sandwich is that he has something like 50+ sandwiches all priced at 1 pound. This is by far and away the cheapest sandwich you will get in the city and usually it's not half bad either. The shop is tiny, barely large enough to fit 8 people in at a time, so there is occasionally a line. You will be rewarded for your wait, however, with an economic and pleasing sandwich. Highlights include the Fresh mozzarella-tomato and the Chicken and corn. My only complaint is that he has mayonnaise but no mustard (how can a sandwich shop not have mustard!?). I suppose this is probably the standard in England so I shouldn't complain but if you're a fan of mustard on your sandwiches make sure to bring your own. Oh also there's nowhere to sit so be expecting to take your sandwich to go (there's some benches you can eat them at around the corner).

Crumbles in York Shambels is such a little spot for a sweet treat. They have a great selection of…read morehomemade crumbles and other desserts, and you can really taste the care that goes into each one. I tried the crumble with marshmallows and custard, and it was absolutely delicious. The marshmallows added this fun, gooey sweetness that worked perfectly with the warm, comforting crumble and creamy custard. The portion was pretty large for me, so I shared it with someone and we both felt satisfied. If you're wandering around York and in the mood for something warm and sweet, it's worth a stop.

Not very impressed by the pastrami sandwich. Very chewy and would not purchase again. Others in our…read moregroup were so-so about their options too. Be aware that this is strictly an order window and there is no seating.

Now this will be a shock to Americans. All of us love Prime Rib with horseradish sauce and…read moreYorkshire pudding, but in York itelf they only eat it at Sunday afternoon brunch! There are hundreds of restaurants with every cuisine from around the world in York: Indian, Nepalese, Polish, Chinese, Sushi, Italian, French, Pizza, Burgers, McDonald's, and at least 1000 pubs, most of them good. But--try to get Prime Rib and Yorkshire Pudding any day but Sunday, and you get laughed out of town. Which forces you to eat at the York Roast Co. The food is edible but quite unlike the prime rib you expect. It is cut in small pieces, slathered in brown gravy, dumped on top of some veggies and served in a box. It is sort of the Kentucky Fried Chicken version of a Prime Rib dinner, except the quality is one notch lower. The people are nice but you pick your box up at the counter, fast food style. The ambience screams Henry the Eighth ate here, and not in a good way. Thank god for the giant brick pilar in the middle holding the building up. Avoid it if you can, and wait for Sunday Roast someplace else.

First time trying this place and it's the first place we ate at in York. I had the Beef Yorky Pud…read moreRoast with Horseradish while my husband ordered the Ham Yorky Pud Roast with cranberry. Apparently, the horseradish is wasabi flavor. Good thing I like wasabi. The beef was not tender though. I don't know if it's the bread that was bitter but I didn't like the food that much. The lady on the cashier was nice though. Although, the place was not tidy nor clean.

It was about a 30-minute wait for a table and a fairly long wait for food, but it was all worth it…read more Tiny little place with abput 24 total seats, so larger parties are probably not a great idea. They do their best to turn tables, but diners, by and large, seem to linger. Rude, but that's people. The staff was very friendly and the food was great! We tried the Corn Fritters and then a special Asian Pork Belly Benedict... both excellent! Good coffee and tea and some nice-looking lattes, etc. Oh, and some great pastries and brownies! You can also get their baked items two doors down at Brew & Brownie Bake Shop! A breakfast/brunch-time winner!

We passed Mannion on our way to find another place and it just looked so inviting we went in! So glad we did. We were 5 and they put a table together on the back patio, which was perfect. Our servers were delightful and there was so much great stuff on the menu. Ended up having nice teas, a fruit scone and a savory cheese scone, which were massive. Both served warm and delicious. The cheese scone is served with sour cream/chives and a tomato jam. The sweet tangy combo on warm savory cheese scone is perfection. Also have a huge grazing board charcuterie which was way more than enough for 5 people to share. Colleagues who ordered eggs Benedict and a sandwich were very happy. Of and truffle fries, because why not. So much good food, and some Prosecco and wine and the bill was only $126! Plus, we enjoyed a lovely long lunch. Can't wait to go back try try more of the menu.

Excellent food, nice setting, and friendly staff. We very much enjoyed the whole experience…read more The food is delicious and beautifully prepared. The beef cheek was unctuous, and the vegetable accompaniment has lovely notes of cinnamon and juniper in the slaw portion. The hunters stew was filling but not heavy, and well seasoned. The oscypek cheese starter is similar to halloumi, with a firm, salty chew that gets your tastebuds going. The beer selection covers the gamut of Polish beers, from light lagers to raisin-y bocks (Koźlak). There's a wide range of vodka cocktails we did not try, plus ciders and wines. And the truly house made desserts are worth saving room for. I usually pass on dessert, but the cheesecake (not sweet) and poppyseed cake were too much to resist -- and I'm glad we didn't. So filling we brought half back home. The staff was friendly, and our waitress was charming and helpful, and even helped me understand the variations of the gołabki cabbage rolls that my grandmother had called galumpkies. Turns out there are many versions (and names) of these stuffed rolls across Eastern Europe. Now I know! Definitely worth putting on your York agenda.
