On this day I woke up thinking that it was a perfect day for
breakfast especially since we're planning on going to the Desert Botanical
gardens afterwards. But by the time we got there from our hotel that was on the
north part of Phoenix, which took a while, I changed my mind about breakfast. This
was the perfect place since they
have both breakfast and lunch. This was a nice family owned place where many of
the customers seemed like regulars. We were on the late side of lunch, so it
was not very busy.
When we walked they said to sit wherever we would like and
then they quickly brought out menus for us and took our drink orders. Mom and I
both got iced tea and dad had a Coke. We then had some time to look over the
menu and check out the ads that were all over the table. I cut it down to two
choices the club sandwich or the page special which had most of the same things
in it, but when it was time to order I decided the page special because of it
having the green Chile and it being grilled. Mom decided to get the California
chicken sandwich. Dad decided to get the Reuben sandwich. These all came with French
fries or you could substitute many of their other items. So we sat a while and
just enjoyed our time thinking about the botanical gardens and everything else
we wanted to do on the trip.
But pretty quick the food came.
My sandwich the page special
had roast beef and ham along with a green Chile and Swiss this was all on
grilled sourdough. This sandwich was really great and I enjoyed it tremendously
the roast beef and ham were both good with Swiss but what I thought made it
really good was the green Chile this gave it a little bit of a kick, not real
much but some along with just the really good flavor from a roasted Chile. The
fries that came with this I thought were average, but there were a ton of them.
Mom thought her California chicken sandwich was really good
as well. It was a grilled chicken breast topped with avocado and Swiss. Also
the plate had lettuce, tomato and onion to go on top of her sandwich.
Dad
really enjoyed his Reuben sandwich and said it was very good, which he would
know because it's one of his favorite sandwiches. I tested the Thousand Island
dressing that came on the side, and you could definitely tell that it was
homemade. Our waiter came back to check on us a couple of times. We never did
need refills which was mostly because the cups were so big. When we were done
he left us our ticket. When we were done we paid at the counter. $39.07 plus
tip I thought was a very good value for the amount of food and really good food
as well as good service. I was kind of curious about why they called the
sandwich, the page special but their cups had a Page, Arizona address and when
I looked online I found out that's where their other location is at.
