Stopped in today - was reminded about their existence due to Bill White's "Eat Your Way through Musikfest" challenge - a $5 coupon was in the swag bag if you were one of the first 100 people to complete the challenge. I’ve been driving by the place on occasion, and every time, I thought to myself, “I should stop in there sometime…”
I had the King Windsor sandwich today - 3.5 ounces of roast beef, large slice of Swiss cheese, fresh (!) leaf lettuce (may have been romaine), fresh sliced tomato, cole slaw, 1000 Island dressing on marble rye bread. Fresh!! It's a Friday, and many delis are working their way into the weekend and may be using up their supplies. Not the Windsor! This may have been the most perfect roast beef sandwich I have ever had. As noted above, the lettuce was fresh, the tomato was fresh, even the bread was fresh. The $6.00 price was worth every penny.
I talked to the owner; they also run the Food Stuff Inc. stands in Festplatz at Musikfest (the potato pancakes on the challenge are from there). I mentioned that most delis are running their stock down on Fridays; she said that they get everything in fresh every day. It shows; I hope they're around for a long time.
Unfortunately, due to the available kitchen space, the potato pancakes from Musikfest are not available at the deli (bummer!).
Try this place out - if you work in the area, they offer delivery with a minimum order of $15.00. I will be going back.
Service: Walk-up counter – my sandwich came out fast – 9 out of 10.
Ambience: Wood floors, some high tables, some low tables – think Starbucks, Einstein Bagels, and the like. Not loud, considering the hard surfaces – 9 out of 10.
Food: Sandwich, as noted above, was excellent. Pickle wedge and an individual bag of Utz chips were included (no stale chips!) – 10 out of 10.
Bar selection: N/A.
Price: Food - excellent. Drinks – a wide selection of Coca-cola 20 oz. soda products, Nestea products, juices, Calypso Lemonades, Vitamin Waters, V8 products, and Dasani waters. Prices for the bottled products range from $1.25 to $2.50; cans are available for $0.75. Drink prices seemed a little high, but on reflection versus the local mini-mart, not bad. – 9 out of 10.
