A 10/10 Birthday Lunch Experience!…read more
Today was my birthday, and my coworkers wanted to treat me to lunch. I was craving a GOOD sandwich, and I had heard so many great things about Roxie Deli & BBQ that I finally decided to give it a try. It was only 7-8 minutes from our job site, so we made our way over!
First of all, the moment you step out of your car, you can smell the smoker. The tri-tip, the brisket, EVERYTHING! The smell instantly reminded me of Mexico, especially that wood-burning smell. If you know, you KNOW!
When we walked in, it was pretty slow, but the employees were so welcoming. We asked about the specials, and I ordered the brisket sandwich, one coworker got the tri-tip, and the other ordered a Roxie special. The owner was incredibly sweet and welcoming, too! He accidentally gave me a tri-tip sandwich instead of the brisket, but it was an honest mistake, and he corrected it right away. We're all human, and mistakes happen! I appreciated how quickly he fixed it.
We took our food outside, sat down, and took our first bites. OMG. WHEN I TELL YOU THAT SANDWICH HIT THE SPOT!!! The flavor, the cheese, the grease, the fat... EVERYTHING was just perfect. It was exactly what I was craving, and I enjoyed every single bite!
Another sweet surprise was running into my husband's cousin, Alex, who I had no idea worked there! It was so nice seeing him. He was super friendly, social, and sweet to all the customers. You can really appreciate when people make you feel welcome, whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time.
Overall, this experience was a 10/10! Roxie Deli & BBQ made my birthday lunch extra special, and I couldn't have asked for a better sandwich or a better experience.
My coworkers and I will DEFINITELY be back, and we'll absolutely be recommending this place to others. Great food, welcoming people, and that smoky BBQ smell? Such a joy! If you're craving a delicious sandwich, give this place a try!
