I would love to say that it's the food that gets me in the door... but it's more about the sense of history and nostalgia that captivates you when you walk into the building.\n\nThe food is okay. Not the absolute best in Charlotte... but also not the absolute worst. The lunch specials are the best deal. Big portions for the price. I can usually get two meals out of whatever I order. They come with a drink and a choice of soup or salad. The salad is a simple bowl of iceberg lettuce. \n\nMy one must get here is the cheesy garlic bread. I always order a side of marinara to dump it in. Warning: you will be charged extra for that. \n\nLasagna, spaghetti, cannelloni. It's all about the same. If you are not a big fan of massive amounts of melted cheesy goodness.... you may want to stick to the salad section of the menu.\n\nBut again, it's not so much the food as it is the place. Old-school pictures cover the walls. They even have original menus as part of the decor. Make sure to take a look at the prices from back in the day. They still use an antique register at the front check out counter.\n\nThis is by no means a must go to spot. But if you're in the neighborhood, stop by for a meal. The place is usually packed for lunch. It's a staple of the city's west side... serving the area for more than 60 years.
