Hot Platters And Entrees

Tips For Ordering
Here is some practical advice to make your visit smoother.
- Call ahead for pickup. The line can get long during the weekday lunch hour, usually between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. Calling ahead saves you a 15-minute wait.
- Ask for the bread well-done. If you like a crunch, request this at the counter. They will toast it a bit longer for free.
- Bring cash. They do accept cards, but there is a small surcharge of $0.50 for credit card transactions. Cash avoids the fee.
- Check the specials board. They often have a daily soup or a specialty sub that is not listed on the printed menu. The price is usually lower than the regular items.
One thing to note is that the prices listed here are accurate as of this month. However, supply costs can change, so the price at the register might be slightly different. The staff is usually good about telling you if a price has gone up before you pay. It is a busy place, but the food is worth the trip. If you are ordering for a group, the party platters (which serve 5-6 people) are a good deal at around $45.00. Just give them a call a few hours ahead to make sure they have enough stock.
