I'm struggling to find reasons to hate this one as much as everyone else seems to. I had no idea it…read morewas so despised. It's a place you'd never know about unless you drove by it or saw it recommended somewhere because people have almost never talked about it. The sandwiches range from unappetizing to great. Plenty of types to choose from and some unique options. Nothing nearly as groundbreaking as the theming implies, but far more interesting and quality than many other sandwich and sub places. Cranberry sauce on a sandwich was not invented here, but you won't find it anywhere else in the area. The salads used to be cold and unimpressive, but they've actually improved significantly. The chicken is bad and basically inedible, but that's true at almost every place of this caliber. For a few bucks more you get something way better and more appetizing than what you could at a Subway or Jimmy Johns. It's a step or two above Panera Bread. The shop is very spacious and large with a lot of cool decor and arrangements, but with the hours you'd never come here to eat in. They used to be open on Saturdays (and would sometimes hang up on you) but have cut their narrow times to basically nothing. Carryouts couldn't be more convenient. There'll be a brown bag with your name on it to the left of the counter. Online ordering is great. Location: 4* Convenience: 4* Service: 2* Product/quality: 3* Aesthetics: 4*

Well done, Siegel.

I was super excited to see this opening up closer to me, I love the Telegraph location and I've…read morebeen to the Royal Oak location before as well. I always get the sandwich with tandoori chicken, tandoori sauce, garlic, pickles, and a bunch of veggies. Today, I also got tabouli, and I tried the pickled beets, which were excellent. My husband and I got takeout, but it looked like there was a nice seating area as well. The only con for me for this franchise is the price - it's a bit pricey, but the sandwiches are huge, so you could make two meals out of it if you weren't super hungry. The sandwiches are about $13 each, and if you get a protein like lamb there's an upcharge. I believe the bowls are about $15 each. Make sure to ask for some samoon chips with your order, too! These are like bagel chips with za'atar spice and I've never seen them anywhere else. It was about $29 for two sandwiches for us - like I said, pretty pricey but portions are gigantic.

The meat was very dry and I mean very dry. Chicken thighs aren't usually dry, but these ones were. The rice wasn't bad but not my favorite. I did like that you could get a grape leaf for a topping. But you're limited on toppings to 2 of each section which I didn't like. I did get free bread and that was actually really good. It came out fresh. Service was nice and you can try sauces and such. That's a plus, but the food was just not a wow factor for me.

I ordered a western burger with large fry, but removed the corned beef. The burger itself was delicious, the patties were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. They were quite juicy and melted in the mouth. The brioche bun was as expected, although it did get a little bit, soggy due to the generous amounts of sweet/sugary Kansas City style barbecue sauce, which was also delicious. The onion ring that was part of the burger was crispy on the outside and not too mushy on the inside just how it should be. Next time I'll add bacon and some jalapeños to the burger to balance the sweet barbecue sauce. The french fries were delicious, crispy exterior with soft, fluffy interior and just the right amount of salt. Although I did not order seasoned fries, I was very happy with the regular unseasoned one. I can imagine that the seasoned fries would be even better. Overall a great burger and excellent fries, I would recommend this to others.

This location does a great job. Food (A) The only thing holding this back from an A+ is that they changed the bread from how it tasted in the 80s and 90s. Yes I have been coming here for a long time. Back then it was mostly meat and toppings where now the bread is different and has a higher ratio. Besides that all the other ingredients taste the same. My favorites are the Famous, Steak N Cheese and cheeseburger Italiano. But all the subs are excellent. I would get this atleast 1x/week if I lived close by.

I absolutely LOVE the h&c crossiant. They do add an aioli that might throw some people off, so beware if you are not a fan of mayo or spice. Since opening, service has always been friendly and much quicker. And I love that they changed up the seating areas- they added cushioned seating along the back windows. This is a great place to come for a quick bite, meet up with friends, or even while you're waiting to rotate your tires. A huge plus is, they are open 365 days a year!

Marsha Saroki, the manager. Is awful at her job. She is grumpy, rude and unhealthy looking. She is constantly screaming at her employees. She does not keep her store to code, and does not follow tropical smoothie health codes or rules. Avinash and Prakash, the owners, steal money from their employees and never show up to the store except for to bring in the paychecks. Don't frequent this store. They're crooks and your food is probably contaminated. read more

I asked an employee if an order she was handing out was mine. She asked if it was a half Acai order, I said no and gave my name, and she moved on. I continued waiting while other orders were prepared and handed out, including some that appeared to have been placed after I arrived. After about 12 minutes, I approached the cashier and mentioned that I had received a text saying my order was ready. Someone checked, and it was found already sitting in a cooler. What stood out was not the wait itself but the absence of basic customer service throughout. No greeting when I walked in, no one checking on me while I waited, no apology once the situation was sorted, and no thank you when I received my order. I reached out about this experience on June 8th and have yet to hear anything back, not even a simple apology. That silence is just as disappointing as the visit itself. I share this hoping it can serve as a coaching opportunity.
