Never was here before. I walk in, looks kind of fancy, in a retro kinda way. Dark wooden booths with vinyl tablecloths. No hostess stand, no hostess. I stand waiting for a few minutes and a fellow customer (already seated) informs me that I can sit anywhere. I sit down, check out the menu, wait for a waitress. No waitress. One of the cooks notices me sitting there and shouts that I need to go to the cashier and place my order first. The cashier is at the back wall, just to the right of where the cooks are. I place my order (a $10 sandwich that included fries and coleslaw), but then they send me to the bar (on the back wall to the left of where the cooks are) to order my drink. I gave the cashier a 15% tip, thinking that they'd at least be bringing me my food. I gave the bartender an extra buck tip for my $1.50 Coke. I go back and sit down and start drinking my Coke. It sucks really bad, like the kind that squirts out of a nozzle at old Moose lodges. I'm like "why the hell did I tip for this?" Food isn't brought to me, instead they call my number (given to me by the cashier when I paid). I'm like "why the hell did I tip for this?" Food was okay though, but this is more like a hotdog/pizza joint that looks fancy but really isn't. All in all, prices are cheaper than real hotdog/pizza joints that look like hotdog/pizza joints, so even with the tip (that I never would have left at a hotdog/pizza joint), it comes out about the same. If I'd've skipped the Coke and the tips, would have felt like I made out like a bandit. Italian Beef Sandwich was no Johnnie's (not even a Rosati's), but came loaded with sweet peppers (I had a choice, sweet or hot), fries, coleslaw, and pickles. Don't know another place where I can get all that for 10 bucks.
