“ The food is so good here and the service is always great! This is my number one lunch choice! ”
“ Stopped in on a Friday afternoon with family due to being in the area. This restaurant is not usually on the radar due to weekday hours. I tried the Spinach pie w/Greek Salad. The spinach pie (spinach, celery, feta) is wrapped in phyllo dough like a burrito--not what I was expecting but quite tasty. The mega fries (fries topped with cheese & bacon (served with side of ranch), is a meal in itself. The chicken tenders were moist and crispy. The hamburger was standard fare and my daughter's go-to when we eat out. There was plenty of seating, the parking is a bit limited/precarious, but worth the trip. Due to location, it may be often overlooked as lunch option. They do offer daily special options. Recommend giving them a try. ”
“ Man, talk about a hole in the wall. I pride myself on knowing High Point like the back of my hand having grown up there, but I truly never knew this place was here even though it apparently has been for quite some time. It's a little set back from the main thorughfare, but now with the food hall and other development happening nearby, I passed it a couple times and got curious about it, so finally stopped in. The building, the parking lot, everything about it is in serious need of a remodel. Curb appeal certainly limited, but I didn't feel that the inside was unclean in any way. Just very old and dated. Places like this often sneakily have some of the best food, so this didn't deter me. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you, get your own drinks, which really is about all I ever want in a sandwich shop. I had the club sandwich with fries. It came on nicely grilled bread with a decent amount of cold cuts, cheese, and bacon. They subbed in honey mustard to replace the mayo as I asked. It came with a HUGE order of fries! The fries were well done, maybe a little more cooked than most would prefer, but they were perfect for me. If I had eaten them all, I would have been very full. Flavor on everything was satisfying, nothing crazy, price was pretty good as well. Overall, I think I would come back here on occasion, for those times where you need "just a lunch" where it would serve me well. ”
“ Huge office luncheon, great service and food. Thank you! Terrific place. All the food was really well presented and tasty. ”
“ Looked in yelp to find a local lunch spot while traveling on the highway. Such a surprise to fine this little gem. Loved the food. We both had the special, grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Everything was delicious. Surprised that the grilled chicken were prices instead of a chicken breast. It was so good. So easy to eat and so flavorful. The toasted roll was perfection! We will be back if traveling that way. ”
“ This is a old school carryout. You can eat in, but when you think of this place, think carryout. The food was the burgers and sandwiches we grew up eating. Crispy French fries. Nothing fancy. The service was fast and friendly. Every city has a great carryout. I think this is High Point's carryout. ”
“ Nice spot for a quick lunch break! Food was fresh & service was great. I would definitely recommend. ”
“ Great local sandwich shop. Locally-owned and operated. A hidden downtown gem. Walkable to Congdon Yards and Truist Point stadium. ”
“ This is a small hole-in-the-wall that has lunch only hours. Yeah, they could spruce it up a bit, but that's what gives this place its edge and keeps it honest. Please know that If you are able to visit, which I suggest you absolutely do, try the Italian Sandwich. This has to be one of the best Italian Subs I've ever had. It was beautiful, meaty, and delicious. My only complaint is there was no water available from the soda fountain machine. ”
“ If you haven't found this Cafe yet, you're missing a treat. The sandwiches are so flavorful and delicious. The fries are steaming hot and wonderful. Very clean and staff are so nice and helpful. Definitely recommend. ”
