Stopped by Baraâs on my lunch break for an easy meal yesterday.
They have a very large selection of sandwiches, chips, drinks, and some sides as well. For the amount of food that you get, the pricing is great! You order/pay at the counter. You can either choose to customize your own sandwich or choose one of their recommended combinations!
I ordered The Gobbler ($12). I love a thanksgiving themed sandwich, so I always order it if itâs an option. It came with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turkey, cream cheese, and cranberry sauce. I also asked for a side of pepperonchini so I could have a piece with every bite. I also ordered a small side of pesto pasta with artichokes ($4.50) and got a zero sugar Monster energy ($2.95). My whole meal was about $22 including tip/tax).
The sandwich itself was filling, fresh, and huge! It ended up being two meals for me. The cream cheese wasnât super noticeable to me, but maybe it was overpowered by the pepperonchinis I kept eating. The pasta was a bit bland for my taste but it came with a decent amount for a small. I think it just needed a sprinkle of Parmesan, salt, or even hot sauce and it wouldâve been perfect.
It was a mid-size sandwich shop that offered high top tables by the window and normal tables throughout. Even with the windows around almost the whole restaurant, it still felt pretty dark inside to me.
I noticed that they offer some fun important drinks/chips that I would usually only see at Asian markets! That was definitely a unique offering for a sandwich shop.
Next time I make it over here, Iâm thinking about trying one of their paninis. Overall a solid place to...

   Read moreSecond time ordering to go from this establishment. The first time I had ordered a simple chicken Caesar salad- the whole batch of romaine was visibly rotten and browned.
Decided to give them another shot a few months down the road- as I had a craving for salad & soupâŚ
Lemon pepper chicken was 3 pieces of sandwich meat folded in half on top of the salad no dressing- lettuce partially gone bad. For 7.99 base Caesar- with a 5 dollar upgrade to add lemon pepper chicken- I shouldâve gotten edible food. I also shouldâve just avoided this place. There wonât be a third time to see if thatâd be the âcharmâ.
Overpriced- small servings- they clearly arenât concerned with the quality of the food- which stumps me; when taking into consideration what they are charging people⌠overall underwhelming and disappointing. You shouldânt be serving your guests subpar and rotting ingredients at any price- let alone price gouging what looks...
