"Part liquor store, part deli, this compact spot has surprisingly good sandwiches and just enough seating to relax and enjoy a hot sammy flanked by coolers of beer on one side and hungry construction workers on the other. This is a great option for grabbing a no-fuss lunch that beats the pants off of Wendy’s. The people are really nice. I recommend the Cuban." - Faregrounds

Went in to order food got charged totally different price than would have paid if ordered online not only that different than listed on there own menu inside the restaurant/ liquor store was curious why all I did was ask the cashier why is it so much more higher he then got angry n said cash price is different than card I simply said where does it state that he pointed to a lil old piece of paper that says liquor and I said that says liquor but it’s fine whatever he got angry I said what’s ur name he refused to give so I took a picture of him Place is filthy they were dealing drugs at the counter clearly high themselves

Usually, I'm not disappointed here. On that note, order the full order of fries, not half. I ordered half cause a full is Usually over flowing with fries, a half was not even 1/3 of a bag. They do offer military discounts, so I chalked it up to food given for food actually paid for. If you ever have an issues it's the cooks that don't seem to care about customer service (not my only bad experience with them) the gals that work up front are great.

If you know how to set your expectations this place is great. It is a convenience store with a kitchen. Odd combo but the food is actually really good. I had the Philly cheese steak and it was very good. Don’t go in thinking it’s a sit down place. Worth checking out.

Look, it’s one of those spots you just don’t think much about when you drive past, but these people have the best Taco Tuesday lunch special in Kansas City. Literally melts in your mouth the meat is so tender! I miss picking this up when I worked in the Bottoms. What a great spot!!

we went to this place thinking it was a sit down restaurant for date night. we were extremely confused but still decided to try it. we got the cuban missile with fries & their homemade ranch. it was INCREDIBLE. cheap liquor and food prices. food was fast and fresh. and their fries are probably the best we have ever had. we went yesterday and then came back today. new favorite spot!

Really good fried food in a laid-back bodega environment. Had it recommended to me by the barista from Blip Roasters around the corner. They had lots of grab-and-go options as well as menu of make as you order food. Good bang for your buck. No seating.

Really friendly people and the atmosphere is comfy. The food from the kitchen is amazing and the preparation is short.
