Well, as they say… “they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.” What a DELIGHTFUL experience at Berge’s. I had the turkey & avocado, while another friend has the grilled cheese & tomato basil bisque soup. Both were so, so good. When one of the employees had realized 2 of us in our party of three hadn’t tried the soup… they sent over 2 smaller cups to make sure we got to experience the magic.
We talked with one of the employees who has been working at Berge’s since ‘95.

Read moreAdd me to the list of people who don't get why this place is rated so high. I think it's because the local eateries in LC get some special treatment by the locals. If you've had sandwiches outside of LC you can probably skip this one.
I went to this place about 30 minutes before closing one day and the man behind the counter was noticeably annoyed that I had crossed his threshold. That attitude pervaded throughout my visit, and I was taking a to-go order.

The turkey meat had good flavor.
I like supporting local businesses so I hope they turn...
