Marie's Sandwich Shoppe

I love it there I wish I can work there with my friends and I got a person for to work there too I love the food and I love everything about this place

First off, I would like to start with what is good about the place. The portion size and food quality is very good. You will be hard pressed to find better meatballs, sausage and rice balls along with the absolutely delicious sauce they make (as part of the sampler). The chicken (drunken chicken sandwich) was mediocre, however, as the flavor was a bit flat and the chicken was a touch overcooked.

What I did not like: poor drink selection (4 choices), meal presentation (was served on paper plates where the sauce leaked though) and no cups. You mean to tell me I cannot have tap water with my meal? I'm pretty sure restaurants have an obligation to provide this option.

This place has a lot of potential, but they chose the wrong neighborhood. Lake Hiawatha is a great place to work and live (I am a local), but the prices feel out of character with the neighborhood. $12-$14 giant sandwiches are a good deal if you consider they will probably make 2 meals, but I'm not sure if the neighborhood is ready for that. A $6-7 half size might be a good option to employ. Just ask the Mule Tavern next door about trying to charge Morristown Manhattan-esque prices.

Summary: Great sampler, I suspect most everything else will be good. Worth trying if you can get past some of the presentation limitations and a higher than average price for the neighborhood.
