    Used to be so good every time but you cannot get a decent order from here to save your life now. Orders are wrong every time, there are random ingredients missing and random stuff added in it's ridiculous. Ordered the hummus veggie wrap which used to be my favorite thing to get and received something that had about half of the ingredients of what I ordered, but had chicken and idk buffalo sauce?? And it wasn't even cut in half?? Pls save your money and do not come to any Tropical Smoothie location this stuff happens every single time I order no matter what restaurant!!!! So lazy and so stupid get it together for the love of God

Took a little time for the sandwich to be prepared but they slice their meat there. Prices are a bit high, but maybe I'm still trying to get used to inflation costs.

    We stumbled upon Lloyd's while walking in Old Town Arvada, and I was very much in the mood for a…read moregood sandwich. We popped in and checked out the menu. It took about 5 minutes for us to be greeted by anyone working; there were two employees working behind the counter, both were busy making sandwiches. Eventually one let us know it was going to be a few more minutes before they could take our order, to which I didn't mind - I recognize it takes time to make sandwiches. We waited for a bit (probably ~10 minutes), and then decided to place an order with them online and continue walking around while we waited. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, so maybe this is the best way to go about ordering so you're not just standing around. To clarify, I didn't mind waiting but it also made sense to place the order and then walk around while waiting. I ordered the North of I70 Italian sandwich, and indicated that I wanted mayo, mustard and oil + vinegar. My wife ordered the sweet baby turkey, and also asked for mayo and salt + pepper. Neither of our sandwiches had any condiments on them (pic included). Each sandwich cost $20, and while I realize that the price of good deli meat has gone up, it was definitely a bummer to not have exactly what we ordered on a sandwich that costs so much - $40+ for 2 standard size sandwiches. The other thing to note is that the mushrooms are not fresh - also included a pic of the mushrooms which I assume come from a can/jar. Had I known the mushrooms were not fresh, I would not have ordered them. I was really rooting for this place to be good, but was overall disappointed in the experience and outcome of our order.

    I would strongly recommend people to stay away from the food they serve here unless maybe you are…read morewanting a cold sandwich and I am told they have good beer. They simply Do Not care about general food safety getting a hot meal here is rather risky I will explain why. My friend was a cook here for a short while and quit on them once he realized they care nothing about serving food that is safe to eat, he saw them do sooo many things that would easily make the food contaminated and unsafe to eat and somehow that was there process of doing things. Here are a couple examples of menu items one should try to steer clear of Chicken parm sandwich- they cook off a large batch of the chicken cutlets and let them sit at room temp for a hour or two until someone orders one they refries them for a minute or so, your supposed to keep food hot once it is cooked especially chicken to leave cooked chicken at room temp for so long is extremely risky to the public's health. Meatball sandwich- they leave there meatballs on the hot line all day then they save all of the hot food items from the day and reuse them the next day without properly cooling any of the food and the cooks will leave these item sit out at room temp for about 45 mins before even putting them into the cooler. Many issues with this practice first of all hot food should be discarded after 5 hours according to the health department because after 5 hours it will start growing bacteria, to leave it on a hot line all day then save them for the next day and not even cool them down properly is Crazy risky to people's health and they do not just do this with the meatballs they do it for many of there hot dishes they are used for days on in, not properly cooled and not properly tracked for how many times it has been reheated and such me they keep them in the same pans it's flat out gross. Other issues my friend encountered there was never seeing anyone at all wash there hands at any point in time, a ancient dishwashing machine that didn't clean anything at all it didn't even get hot so half of there dishes are greasy and have food residue on them, in his short time there he saw people fired for no reason what's so ever from what he was told the owner fires people left and right and doesn't even give reasons as to why, that's why they have ads up on indeed looking for employees 24/7.

Being a…read moreJersey girl, I recommended and described the New Jersey sandwich favorites, but our server, Monea, was delightful and helped guide my friends to many delicious options. We had the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese, the sloppy gnome, the patty melt, eggplant parm, the Cuban, and great fries. We shared, and everyone was thrilled with the flavors and textures. I was so happy my friends enjoyed Jersey food as much as I do! We all loved the atmosphere, and the seating is plentiful inside and out. The parking is wonderful since they have their own lot! I have to add that we asked to speak to the owner, Ken. We were told he is not really a talker. To our surprise, Ken came over and was terrific! He told us the story of his dad starting at 4 am every day to begin the prep for the Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches for all the Jersey trades workers and other patrons. This is a strong part of the NJ culture. Ken told us the story of how he got connected to gnomes (ask him to see the tats). Ken shared his favorite Jersey food and how he got to Colorado. Great stories that should be on the website! Ken also spoke extremely highly of the brew master. Since I am not a beer drinker, I have no recommendations. This is a fun place to visit! We drove 40 minutes to get there, and we all want to return soon. Thanks, Ken and your talented staff!

The pizza has a thick and soft crust, the garlic knots are huge, the homemade pasta is tender and flavorful, the Italian beef sandwich is loaded with meat and a delicious dipping sauce, the Italian potato salad is so fresh and full of herbs, the cannoli was crunchy but not too hard and didn't fall apart.

Our plates all had the same tomato sauce, which was slightly bland. Our plates also contained lots of cheese, SHY AWAY LACTOSE PEOPLE. The ravioli was extremely soft with a burst of cheese, the pizza's veggies were vibrant and flavorful, however the steak was a bit overdone. The server did ask on the spot for us to check the meats cooking to see if its how we asked. This question made us really appreciate the restaurants culture and service. Price is average for mom and pop shop too. The Service was nice and welcoming. They gave us free garlic knots for being first timers. Our food came pretty quick and they double check to make sure the food is to our liking. The location is right off of Harlan and had limited parking. The patio is very comforting but slightly cramped. The aesthetic was very old time Italian restaurant.
