I first remember coming here years ago with a good friend of mine from Kauai. She was living on Oahu while attending HPU. The bill was cheap (under $30) and both of us being on a budget, it worked out great. Soon after I found myself dining here with my future boyfriend. Same thing, bill was cheap and the food was the same, but it was still good. I love spaghetti and I wished I could eat it all the time, but due to my health it is not possible anymore. With that in mind, I am very happy that they offer whole wheat pasta along with a gluten free menu. Not a lot of places like this offer that kind of option so this definitely gets double thumbs up.
On this trip, they started offering on the menu a "Lunch for Less" which includes either; the same pasta dishes at a lunch size, lunch sized salads, and panini sandwiches. Since it was lunch time, might as well try it out.
My boyfriend got his usual Marinara Sauce pasta (sorry no pic) and I got the Reuben Panini. I LOVE REUBENS! You have no clue! I am not sure what is so great about corned beef (pastrami if you got it), sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, 1000 Island dressing, and rye bread, all smooshed lovingly by a panini press. Le Sigh!
As you can see, this is awesome! The sandwich comes with potato chips and you can add on a salad for $1.49. This by far is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had and never was it panini style. 3 greater then is all I can say!
This being a review on 1 item shouldn't be too bad, right? So, HOW MUCH DID THIS COST?
Sandwhich was at $8.99 and I added a salad for $1.49. With just water and not adding my boyfriends' meal, with tax it came out to $10.98. I'm pretty sure you all are thinking, I can get a cheaper lunch from McDonalds! Yeah, ok.. Keep in mind though, just because it is cheaper, does not mean it that it is good for you. Why do you think a burger costs a $1 and a salad costs $5.99? And you wonder why the US is fat.
