10. Subway
Reviewed By Beth C
My daughter and I ordered our lunch there one day, and we really enjoyed the freshness, and exactness, of our foot-long sandwiches. Subway is a great place to eat if you have dietary restrictions because you order it exactly to what foods you can eat. That's why I like to eat there when I travel. There's no surprises. It's always consistent and it's a great sandwich.

I've been coming here for years, the menu remains unchanged, adequate but could use a bit of updating and wider selectionService variable, only got the correct toast once, which is annoyingThis has to be the only cafe I've been in where some guy walks in, talks to the staff and then starts panhandling me, staff were oblivious

Definitely worth searching out this place. Yes, it's off the beaten path a little south of Trinidad. Moonstone Grill has mostly window seating, all with stunning views of the North Coast. Service was genuine and spot-on. Although we only ordered starters, we never felt rushed. A wonderfully varied wine list has many by-the-glass options. Lobster wontons, crab cake (the biggest I've ever seen) and a chopped Caesar salad found us with a little room for a luscious citrous cheesecake with a chocolate ganache - wicked good! Go!!

Really, I should be giving this 4 stars, because the food and service are excellent. Definitely try the savory cheesecake appetizer. It's something wonderful. It's the price that drags it down for me. Small portions, high prices. If I was a wealthier person, perhaps I wouldn't give a damn. It's got great ambiance. Very cozy!!! Let's call it 3.5 stars.

We really enjoy having our business breakfasts here. They let us linger over excellent coffee, their service is excellent (how does Jorge remember our orders - with substitutions and extras - and deliver them perfectly??? impressive), and the food very good. My favorite is the cheese omelet with extras of broccoli, tomatoes and mushrooms with beans (instead of hash browns) and wheat toast. We will certainly return again - a wonderful place to have breakfast or lunch!!

This place is not a place you would want to dine in unless you enjoy slow service, sticky tables and uncleanliness. Stopped here for a "quick" bite to eat before catching my plane. The servers act like you are bothering them when you walk in. I ordered a burger and fries. I got something that resembled a burger with no flavor. The tomato was so not ripe I tossed it aside. When I asked for ketchup the bottle the server brought me was not usable as I don't know what the last person did to it. It had mustard all around the inside of the ring. Go anyplace but here.

We usually visit Denny when we are in town as we like their offerings for breakfast and lunch. Always receive excellent service and good food. I love the super bird sandwich and my husband and grandson usually have burgers but large menu assures everyone can find their favorites and don't forget they have excellent milkshakes

Friendly staff and the food was average. Place is a little rundown and the other folks eating there looked a little worse for wear.

This was our second visit here. This time we were driving from Grants Pass to Miranda (Avenue of the Giants). We had their "Wednesday special" Chicken soup and ham sandwich and they were excellent. And the beer is great too! Enjoyed sitting at the bar.
