Ok, long time customer, here. I just googled Mr Beef to pull up their menu and phone number to place an order, and happened to see all the recent bad reviews about the new ownership - which I didn't even know about until just now. I started to go into a panic, and wondered if I should just order from Marco's on Fullerton and Austin, instead. But I don't like Marco's pizza, I like Mr Beef's pizza, and that's what I really had a taste for.
I decided to just go ahead and see for myself how much they've supposedly changed, so I ordered a sausage pizza, a beef, and a cheeseburger with fries.
At first, I thought the pizza was the same, but then I noticed two things as I was eating it. One, I bit into some spots that had way way way too much oregano, and although the sausage was still plenty and very tasty, this time I bit into a bone sliver, which I had to spit out. Even with all of that, I still liked the pizza better than most places, simply because it's so cheesy and has so many slices of sausage in pretty much every single bite.
The beef sandwich didn't really appear smaller to me, although it's been several months since I had one. Whether it's smaller or not, though, it's still a pretty good size sandwich. The flavor was still good, although, like some of the others, 'something' was a bit off. I don't know what, or even if I just imagined it, but maybe some sort of an aftertaste!
The cheeseburger and fries seemed the same to me. The delivery was fast. But, yes, it's true, the prices HAVE gone up. Some items not by much, but on other items, quite a lot.
Still and all, these minor changes are not enough to make me start screaming that I'm never going back there, again. I'll still go. They're still good...or, at least, good enough for here and there.
