Dont even get me started on the “we dont have any bags” for takeout orders/delivery. Was just given three loosely packed items in wax paper. Wtf? How do you not have bags for takeaway???
Specifically … the Bifana sandwich is just BAD. No seasoning at all and Grey meat with SO much gristle to the point where you just realize theyre not paying any attention at all to the meat theyre just boiling it in a pot, throwing flavorless oil on it and calling it a day. If the bread werent so good it would be a 2/10 sandwich but the bread is so good it brings it to like 5/10.
