Q: Can you tell me about the restaurant?
A: We are a small mom-and-pop. We make homemade soup, salads and deli-style sandwiches, fresh baked goods, casseroles. We've been in business for 15 years.
Q: What's your favorite item or items on the menu?
A: The Reuben sandwich and the French dip. I like the French dip because it's a hearty sandwich but it doesn't make you feel like you want to go to sleep.
Q: What sets you apart from your competitors?
A: That we're mom-and-pop and the quality of product that we use. We use all high-end deli meats, homemade sauces, homemade salad dressings. And our prices are very reasonable.
Q: What's your favorite part about working in the industry?
A: When people walk out of here and they just love the experience they had and the food they ate, and the combination of both. It makes it worthwhile making people happy and filling their bellies.
