Great sandwiches option for the area. The Reuben was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Mixed feelings. The Turkey Club was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Crispy House has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Reuben but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Solid spot. The BLT is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
