TO GO SANDWICHES — Restaurant in Columbia Township

Originally from the Chicagoland area, moved to Columbia approximately 6 years ago to study at the University of Missouri.

While I absolutely enjoyed my time here, one aspect of Columbia had lacked for me was the food. I wanted something that reminded me of home and that didn’t also break the bank.

A few locations here and there have come and gone that offered an alternative to the “Taste of Chicago”.

This location is a without a doubt the closest it has gotten for me to not drive 4-6 hours to find a good Italian Beef. (Portillo’s is approximately 3.5 hours away, I’ve checked haha)

FOOD:

Some of this may come down to personal preference but I still would like to give my thoughts.

I got the Italian Beef meal, 6PC wing combo tossed in Sweet Baby BBQ sauce.

The Italian Beef was pretty good! The bread was soft especially after it being dipped. It comes with cheese and hot giardiniera. A little salty, either from the cheese or the giardiniera, but the saltiness overwhelmed the flavor of the beef. Speaking of taste, the flavor of the au jus could ask for more. It was solid, but definitely could be better.

I absolutely love french fries and I 100%, wholeheartedly will stop frequenting a restaurant based on their fries. The fries here? Yes. Yessir. Great shape and they give you a “healthy” amount for the price. I don’t know about individually, but was great for the price of the meal. Again, something of acquired taste but they were also a bit salty, but the seasoning on it was great overall.

Fairly new location as I’m writing this, but pleasantly surprised with the clean presentation with a hint of a “whole in the wall” vibe.

Service was also exceptional and quick when it came to receiving my food, but I also picked up mine while no one was there. Your experience may vary depending on the time of your visit.

I will definitely be coming back and absolutely recommend not just Chicagoland residents but also the residents and visitors of...

Outstanding! Another hole in the wall restaurant. It's located on basically a side street with no real parking as it's focus is takeout burgers, wings, and fries. This is next door to the Mizzou campus and apartment buildings. You are better to order and just pickup because of parking. The double cheeseburger was big and tasty. The fries were crinkle cut and excellent. The onion rings, wow too. Highly recommend but realize it needs to be takeout because of limited parking. I saw ice cream desserts but...

I'm mad at myself for not finding out about this place sooner 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ Epic Fail on my part. Their Philly cheese steak? If one of the kids asked for a bite I'd have to get another one because they're too good to share.

The Wings were on point too. And the fries! I had no idea the wings came with fries. They were crinkle cut, and I HATE crinkle cut, but these were good! They were seasoned! They were not bland 🙏🏾I ate them all and felt like after Thanksgiving when you need to take a sabbatical...
