Incredible experience from the minute you enter the front door! I loved the Beatles decor and music. I ordered "The Vinnie" and was immediately certain I had made the correct choice by the confirmation of our waiter. Everything was excellent from the pastrami to the potato salad and fresh cut french fries. Don't forget dessert- the chocolate mousse cake with vanilla bean ice cream was delicious as was the strawberry cheesecake. I have already told friends to check this place out,and I will definitely return each time I am in McAllen. You should go here, you won't be disappointed.
First off they opening the door and welcoming you in. Great service all around. Very friendly and attentive but not overly so. Husband had Philly with fries. I had the Rueben with potato salad. Very good sandwiches and sides. The fries were very nice hand cut. But not soggy or oily at all. The Rueben was delish. The potato salad was great. It's a tiny place and lunch time it was crowded. We will definitely eat here again.
Wow!! What incredible service!! Super friendly and helpful. I started with the Chicken Tortilla soup and it was delicious. My main meal was "The Thing" with potato salad. Both were phenomenal. Their menu is very extensive so you are sure to find the perfect sandwich for you. What a great find!
If your looking for a super good sandwich you have come to the right place. I've been here soo many times and their food is great all the time. The owner is so nice. He recognizes his regulars, he always stops buy to ask how everything is going, overall he's and super nice friendly man. The waiters are always attentive and despite them getting super busy around lunch time they handle the rush really well. The Philly cheese Steak Sandwich is a favorite of mine with the fries. This sandwich has never disappointed me. Don't forget to add Spicy Russian Dressing by on the fries and sandwich... it's really tasty. The chili is super good but I do have to say I love going when they have their Chicken Tortilla Soup that is by far my favorite soup that they have with potato coming in second. The atmosphere is nice and friendly and I love the decor (The Beetles and the Cowboys) of the place. You don't really see this at other restaurants. Overall it's a 12/10 experience. Don't forget to buy their Spicy Russian sauce when you're paying. It goes so well on sandwiches at home.
My Reuben was delicious as was their homemade Thousand Island sauce. It was a pleasant laid-back restaurant that seemed very polular. Oh yes, service was excellent and quick for hungry diners!! We will return!!
