    Moms Chef's Salad
    T C.

    We came by to try a new sandwich shop while in the area. It is a bit small inside with a few tables. I am glad we got there early. We ordered at the counter a cuban and a chef salad and drinks are all in cans and bottles. I thought the salad was a bit small for the price but did have a nice amount of meat and cheese. The cuban sandwich did have pulled pork and was pretty good. They stay busy with many take out orders. Overall it was ok. A fun restaurant celebrating 40 years.

    This place is close by where I work and have been there twice so far, both times great. The first time I had the Mothers Special and this time the Worker, both were 8" sandwiches and both nicely packed with the goods. However, ordering the Worker I skipped the mayo and forgot to add oil and vinegar instead, a bit dry but that was my bad. Reading some of the other posts I need to order the meatball next. It's my Wednesday lunch trip. As far as service, there's three behind the counter taking care of business and quick to fill orders. Prices are fair with 12oz can drinks. Beware, they do close at 2pm.

    Your Mother's Special

    We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday after doing some Yelp research, well worth it! Simple but satisfying menu options, all fresh and made to order, fast and friendly service. Small but clean interior seating so you can sit and enjoy your lunch or take it to go.

My friend had a chicken swarma pita and I had a custom bowl. It is an excellent concept. The bowl starts with two bases. I opted for spring greens and quinoa, but there are several choices including rice if preferred . Then one can choose up to eight different items , a sauce and then on to protein choices. My falafel was cooked while I waited. It was very tast and not as dry as some I've tried. The bowl was 12.95 and was enough for two meals for me. My friend said the sandwich was excellent and she managed to finish it. Service was good, people were friendly and the place was very clean. It is a cafeteria style but not too busy. Definitely worth a return visit to try all the options. There are also wraps on offer and kebabs. And I did notice while I was waiting for my falafel that the place serves only halal meat if that is important to you. As a vegetarian I found plenty of fresh options. I recommend this place.

I figured you can't go wrong with Greek and this place got high marks on Yelp so I thought I would give it a try. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. They were patient with all of my questions and special requests. I got the salad and soup combo. I was able to upgrade my soup to a larger size and then I was able to get a side of charbroiled chicken to add to my salad. They were also able to put the potato salad and olive on the side so my friend dining with me could have those things that I didn't want. The charbroiled chicken was fantastic. I really should have got another one. I'm still having dreams about that chicken and chasing that chicken hide. The music was a little loud when we first got in and I thought we'd have to sit outside to have a conversation, but luckily it wasn't too bad. It was just that one particular song. I do wish they had Coke products instead of Pepsi but it's not worth taking off a star for. All in all I would gladly eat here again and maybe next time get two chickens instead of one.
