General Notes

Apparently, a "hood classic" fast food joint. They're most well known for their pastrami and chili cheese fries, so that's what we got. It was tasty, but not especially noteworthy. It was an incredible deal though, just an absolutely enormous amount of food for a very reasonable price point. Certainly not "the best pastrami sandwich in the world", but a good late night option.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★★☆☆ Pastrami Dip -- The pastrami is decent. It will literally fall out of the sandwich because it's so overloaded, so a common idea is to get a pastrami sandwich + the chili cheese fries, and add extra bits of pastrami into the fries. I'm not a big fan of the "dip" though.
  • ★★☆☆ Chili Cheese Fries -- Pretty solid, but not particularly noteworthy. By itself, it's a bit bland and heavy. It definitely needs some pickles / peppers and tomatoes to brighten up the dish, so make sure you ask for that.
